ONE-WAY STREET

4
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,360
-Good morning, Dad.
-Good morning, sweetheart.

5
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,280
What's taking him so long?

6
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,040
All this time to get a newspaper?

7
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,320
He'll be back soon.

8
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,600
What's with your outfit?

9
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480
-What's wrong with it?
-Why are you dressed like that?

10
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,960
I'm going to work, Dad.

11
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,240
Oh, work.

12
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,120
-Samah!
-Yes?

13
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,800
-Bring me Dad's medication.
-Right away, Doctor.

14
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,960
I'm heading out now, Dad.
Do you need anything?

15
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,400
The newspaper.

16
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,000
Sure.

17
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,480
-Call me if you need anything.
-Okay.

18
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,080
I hope you find a nice man
to settle down with soon.

19
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,960
It's time for your medication, dear.

20
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Who was that?

21
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,840
Can you pass me that blouse?

22
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,000
Are you paralyzed? Get it yourself.

23
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,600
Do you have nail clippers?

24
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,600
By the mirror, next to your money.

25
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,840
DR. KAMLA RAGHEB ELWAN
PSYCHOLOGIST

26
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,400
I never thought it would happen to me.

27
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,760
I'm still in shock.

28
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,640
Like I only just found out I have cancer.

29
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,280
Cancer? That's the first time
you've said that, Sawsan.

30
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,800
When will you start chemotherapy?

31
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,600
Tomorrow.

32
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,080
I don't know what I'm going to do
when I lose my hair.

33
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,280
When my mom was young,
wigs were all the rage.

34
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,280
Now the hijab is in fashion.

35
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,280
I don't want to wear a hijab.

36
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,400
It keeps disconnecting.

37
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,480
Can I help?

38
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,760
No, thanks.

39
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,560
I'll call the satellite technician.

40
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Talk to your husband. Ask for his opinion.

41
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,000
He's leaving work early today.
And I'm not going to my studio.

42
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,480
We're going to have dinner and drink wine.

43
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,800
That's nice.

44
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,160
We usually do stuff like that
the night before an important event.

45
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,760
Or something scary.

46
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,520
I want to get as much as I can
out of life before chemo.

47
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Thanks, Sarah.

48
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,720
I didn't take the bus at all last week.

49
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,240
Not once.

50
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,760
But yesterday I had no choice.
I couldn't afford the microbus.

51
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,960
I was getting better.

52
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,040
It has nothing to do with lust,
by the way.

53
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,200
When

54
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,440
I get…

55
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,760
I don't feel horny when I wanna…

56
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Do you get me?

57
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,520
Drop me off here, please.

58
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,920
What happened on the bus yesterday?

59
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,680
There was a girl in front of me.

60
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,960
She caught the bus… after me.

61
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,400
She was well dressed.

62
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,800
No, her trousers were tight.

63
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,720
A bit.

64
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,040
I pretended I was…

65
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,520
I was disgusted that I did it.

66
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,600
But she didn't say no.

67
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,320
She didn't say no because she was scared.

68
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,080
But I was happy.

69
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,400
Happy that she was scared.

70
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,040
Hi.

71
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,280
Hello.

72
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,080
I was lost for words
when I realized they were firing me.

73
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,840
I'd been there all my life.

74
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,600
I was the first and the youngest girl
to land the position.

75
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,920
All of a sudden, they fired me
and accused me of negligence,

76
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,040
just because I told them
I was a bit stressed?

77
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,200
My manager said, "What if
you'd gotten married and had kids?

78
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,800
How would you have coped?"

79
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,720
-How did that make you feel, Layla?
-Scared.

80
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,840
I never feared dying alone.
It never even crossed my mind

81
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:43,280
until my manager threatened me.

82
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,480
Regardless of whether I keep my job
or work somewhere else,

83
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,880
I'll be retired in ten years.

84
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,080
You're saying I still have time, right?

85
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,040
Thirty years of my life
have already flown by.

86
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,240
The next ten will pass
in the blink of an eye.

87
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,920
I'm not scared.

88
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,200
I'm terrified.

89
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,480
Asmaa Elsayed Ahmed.

90
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,760
How old are you, Asmaa?

91
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,840
Twenty-seven.

92
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Can I have some water?

93
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Yes, of course. Here.

94
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,480
ASMAA

95
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,000
-Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?
-I'm not here to do the talking.

96
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,960
I'm here to listen.

97
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Are you circumcised?

98
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,600
I hate myself.

99
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,920
I hate my body. I hate my looks.

100
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,600
I can't feel anything.

101
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,640
I can't stop thinking about it.

102
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,720
I feel like I'm nothing.

103
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,200
Everything's a struggle.

104
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,160
It's like I'm on fire inside

105
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,040
but frozen on the outside.

106
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,200
ONE-WAY STREET

107
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,960
-This is for you.
-Thanks.

108
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,720
Hi, Samah.

109
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,000
Why didn't you pick up earlier?

110
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,000
What about him?

111
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,960
"Insisting" how?

112
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,000
We had an agreement, Samah.

113
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,040
He's not allowed to read
or watch the news.

114
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,600
Make something up. Tell him anything.

115
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,800
Okay, sure.

116
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,400
Have you had lunch yet?

117
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,320
Okay.

118
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,840
Don't worry. I won't be late.

119
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,040
By the way,

120
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,560
someone might come to fix the AC
in my room today.

121
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,840
Okay. All right.

122
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,760
Okay, bye.

123
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,800
Why are you working so hard? Just come.

124
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,360
Bring Uncle Ragheb too.

125
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,000
You'll be doing him a favor.

126
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,640
Again, Marilyn? You already know
what I think about moving abroad.

127
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,760
I've only got a few months left
to submit my thesis.

128
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,160
The men here are irresistible. Just, wow.

129
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,400
Hair like Tom Cruise
and eyes like Brad Pitt.

130
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,320
Stop going on about men. Behave yourself.

131
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,040
-Stop it, you rascal. No.
-Just one.

132
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,200
You don't stop, do you?

133
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,200
I just got to the office.
I'll call you later. Bye.

134
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,720
Hi, Doctor.

135
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,320
This is Yasser, my fiancé.

136
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,720
Yeah, I know. I've seen photos of you.

137
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,680
-I was just passing by…
-By chance.

138
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,960
Yeah, by chance.
So I called her, and she said--

139
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Relax. No need to explain yourself.
Please, have a seat.

140
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,320
Thank you.

141
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,240
Sarah, cancel all my appointments
after 8:00. I need a break and coffee.

142
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,360
Get married, you two.

143
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,760
Okay…

144
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,840
Chill.

145
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,040
Oh, my God. My goodness.

146
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,400
What awful weather.

147
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,520
It's so hot and humid tonight.

148
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,880
Yeah, I heard on the radio
it's going to be humid all week.

149
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,040
Here's your tea.

150
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,040
Where's his tea?

151
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,920
I can't, Insaf.

152
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,080
All of his mealtimes are scheduled
because of the medication.

153
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,760
Right. Doctor's orders.

154
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,520
Her treatment is what's making you ill.

155
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,920
-Who?
-Oh, God.

156
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,280
Look what's happened to you, Brother.

157
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,280
What are you talking about?

158
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,600
Listen, don't you think it's time
Kamla got married?

159
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,280
I know the perfect guy for her.

160
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,280
He's a good catch.

161
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,680
Or does she want to be a spinster forever?

162
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,440
She's over 40, Ragheb.

163
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Who?

164
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,720
Pardon me for saying this,

165
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,160
but if you hadn't listened
to her mother and refused to--

166
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,520
Refused what?

167
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,040
Ah, Kamla's here. Sweetheart.

168
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,720
Welcome! So nice to see you!

169
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,560
So, Doctor,

170
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,120
do you always come home this late?

171
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,120
I came home early today.

172
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,200
Why are you working so hard?

173
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,080
Just find a nice man and--

174
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Why aren't you eating, Dad?

175
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,320
I'm full.

176
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:34,640
Who's she?

177
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,680
Goodness gracious, Brother.

178
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,200
Ragheb, I'm your sister, Insaf.

179
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,640
-You're Insaf?
-Yeah.

180
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,680
I'm tired.

181
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,080
Samah.

182
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Yes, Doctor.

183
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,840
Wash his hands and put him to bed.

184
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,040
Sure, Doctor.

185
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,720
Don't forget his medication.

186
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,800
Okay.

187
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,640
-Let's put you to bed, dear.
-Okay.

188
00:16:58,720 --> 00:16:59,720
Let's go.

189
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Let's go.

190
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:10,640
Listen,

191
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,839
you should be stricter with her.

192
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,880
Your father stinks.

193
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,880
His name is Mosaad Mahfouz Elghonemy.

194
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,520
He's from a wealthy family in Sharqia.
He's going to be 49 next month.

195
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:25,680
He's the finance director of an oil firm.

196
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,360
A widower, with a beautiful daughter.

197
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,120
She's eight. Her name is Nesma.

198
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,920
She's very sweet, just like her name.

199
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,240
I think he's the one.

200
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,280
So that's why you're here?

201
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,920
Why not? Nothing is more important

202
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,080
than seeing my niece happy and settled.

203
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,040
Auntie, we've talked about this before.

204
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,280
I'm already happy and fulfilled.

205
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Really?

206
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Fine, Kamla. Thanks a lot.

207
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,440
It's my fault for being nice.

208
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,880
I made the effort to come all this way
just for you.

209
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,920
I'm leaving.
My own family's more important.

210
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,520
Who was that?

211
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,560
This is the third time
I've called your shitty customer service

212
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,480
to complain about my broken AC.

213
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,440
How are you too busy?

214
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,120
This is a joke.

215
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,880
It's not my problem. You fix it.

216
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,000
Just do your job.

217
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,760
ONE-WAY STREET
YOUSIF EZZ ELDIN

218
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,360
In closing, I'd like to thank
our special guest,

219
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,880
the great novelist, Yousif Ezz Eldin.

220
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,720
It's been a pleasure.
Thank you for your time.

221
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,080
That's it from us.
Now we'll open up the floor to questions.

222
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,400
-Please, go ahead.
-I have a question for Mr. Yousif.

223
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,480
Go ahead.

224
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,600
Although the protagonists
are fighting for freedom,

225
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,680
they always meet a tragic end.

226
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,920
Why is that?

227
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,160
Firstly, good evening.

228
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,880
I'd like to give you a piece of advice,
although I hate advice myself.

229
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,920
I find it hard to accept.

230
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,600
But I must say it.
Consider me an older brother.

231
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,000
You should never ask artists
about the meaning of their work.

232
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,960
For instance, never ask a painter
about the meaning of a painting.

233
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,400
Or a sculptor about a sculpture
and why he carved it.

234
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,720
The same goes for a writer.

235
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,240
An artist's duty is to express

236
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,520
life, nature,

237
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280
and many other things,
including his imagination.

238
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,240
But he expresses it all

239
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,400
in his own way,
from his own point of view.

240
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,560
Ultimately,

241
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,640
it's up to the audience to decide.

242
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,800
For example, now,
whether or not you take my advice

243
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,600
is up to you.

244
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,920
You can disregard it completely
if you wish.

245
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,280
Go ahead.

246
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,120
I want to ask Mr. Yousif
about the female characters.

247
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,720
-What about them?
-Why are they all prostitutes?

248
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,520
Why does sex always win in the end?

249
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:51,760
Is this a call for sexual liberation?

250
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,360
-Sorry, what was your name?
-Yousif.

251
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,040
Yousif?

252
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,600
What a coincidence. Okay, look.

253
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,760
All I care about is people.

254
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,920
Human beings.

255
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,120
I create characters,

256
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,400
and I let them express themselves.

257
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,240
They direct me.

258
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,080
I just follow their journeys,

259
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,320
their life paths,

260
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,400
freely,

261
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,840
without pressure.

262
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,600
My characters guide me.

263
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,280
I don't guide them.

264
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:29,440
The most important thing in my novels
is the people.

265
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,120
Go ahead.

266
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,680
My question is regarding
your latest novel, One-way Street.

267
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,680
Why did you make her
commit suicide in the end?

268
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,120
And how do you view her suicide?

269
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,680
As an act of bravery or defeat?

270
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,400
Good question.

271
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,040
The first question from a woman.

272
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,920
I want to know how you see it first.

273
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,560
I was confused,

274
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,040
and I still am.

275
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:02,120
All right.

276
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,880
I want you to read it.

277
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,440
-Give me your opinions.
-Of course. Thanks.

278
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,520
Mr. Yousif.

279
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,760
Excuse me.

280
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,960
-Yes?
-Can I ask you one more question?

281
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,320
Of course.

282
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,160
The men in your novels,

283
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,160
do they exist in real life?

284
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,000
What do you mean?

285
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,320
I mean, can a man accept a woman
who has had previous relationships

286
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,600
and not lose love and respect for her?

287
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,880
And on top of that,
not feel threatened if she is successful

288
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,200
and independent?

289
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,840
I think men like that are just a fantasy.

290
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,840
You think so?

291
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,800
I'm almost certain.

292
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,200
"Almost."

293
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,120
Which means there's a chance, correct?

294
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,520
Can we have a photo with you?

295
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,680
Excuse me.

296
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,080
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

297
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,800
I remember it like it was yesterday.

298
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,000
I remember my mother laughing.

299
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,680
How can you laugh
while your daughter's terrified, bleeding?

300
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,680
How can you laugh and help someone cut
your daughter with a razor?

301
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,760
Did you ever ask her?

302
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,040
She's probably forgotten.

303
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,800
My father got angry
because my screams woke him up.

304
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,040
So my mom covered my mouth with a pillow.

305
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,680
Since then,
I've never slept with a pillow.

306
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,120
Since then,
I've been bottling up the fear inside me.

307
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,440
I don't fear anything.

308
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,080
I'm numb.

309
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,200
I wasn't scared when they forced me
to marry an old man when I was 15.

310
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,760
I wasn't scared
the first time he touched me.

311
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,600
I felt nothing.

312
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,280
He sent me back to my family
one week later.

313
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,760
At least he paid for my ticket.

314
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,800
I was bright.

315
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,080
I went to university to study medicine.

316
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,240
They didn't even let me finish that.

317
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,080
Samah?

318
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:42,520
Samah.

319
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,320
Where were you?

320
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,800
-Sorry I'm late.
-Go on.

321
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,040
I got into a huge fight, Doctor.
I made sure everyone on the bus heard.

322
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:04,560
Good.

323
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,400
Can you believe no one stepped in?

324
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,760
Nobody defended you?

325
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,160
Not a single person.

326
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,720
A couple of fools
made some half-assed attempts.

327
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,280
The guy had no shame.

328
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,520
But I didn't let it go. I made a scene.

329
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,360
Good. You did the right thing.

330
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,840
To be honest, it's my fault.

331
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:24,920
How's that?

332
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,040
My fiancé has told me

333
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:30,640
not to wear these tight jeans.

334
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,240
It's not your fault.

335
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,280
If your fiancé thinks you're to blame,
then he's no better than your harasser.

336
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:39,480
Men are like that nowadays.

337
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,560
They like to control women.

338
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,200
They think it's romantic.

339
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,200
You'll see when you have a man.

340
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,640
Hey, take this.

341
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,240
That's for you.

342
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,400
You should find some other work.

343
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,000
No one's going to pay you for this.

344
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,000
Do something else.

345
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,240
It's not about the money.

346
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,760
I'm trying my best.

347
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,560
Hoping to feel something after all.

348
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,640
The problem is,
I can't stop thinking about it.

349
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,920
Like a hungry person
with food in front of them,

350
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,280
but their hands are tied
and their lips are sealed.

351
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,640
Are you free after our session?

352
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,280
Are you really treating me?
I don't wanna wash dishes.

353
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,080
Don't worry. It's on me.

354
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,600
Come on. It's on me.

355
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,880
Why aren't you eating?

356
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,360
I eat like a pig, right?

357
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,000
It's been a while since I had a nice meal.

358
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,000
You were starting to scare me.

359
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,440
Me?

360
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,800
Yeah.

361
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,680
I shouldn't be here with you.

362
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,040
It's not professional.

363
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,040
I should have boundaries with my clients.

364
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:39,880
Clients?

365
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,960
Yeah, I mean "customers."

366
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,200
You mean "patients"?
It's me who should call them "customers."

367
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,480
We're all sick.

368
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,080
Honestly, I don't know
who's benefiting more from this.

369
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,280
Eat.

370
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,960
Thanks.

371
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,560
I can't thank you enough.
I really appreciate it.

372
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:11,760
Don't be silly.

373
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,360
I'll be right back.

374
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,160
Hi.

375
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,240
I'm…

376
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,800
"Is suicide an act of bravery or defeat?"

377
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,880
Exactly. You have a good memory.

378
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,880
Sometimes.

379
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,600
Is it your first time here?

380
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,280
Yeah, and you?

381
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,360
I'm a regular here. Almost every day.

382
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,680
You mind if I get your name and number?

383
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,280
-My number?
-Yeah.

384
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,840
You don't know it? Or you don't want to?

385
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,480
No, that's fine.

386
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,200
-Kamla Elwan.
-Kamla.

387
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,520
Nice name, just like you.

388
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,920
Good to see you again. Excuse me.

389
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,160
That's a nice doll, by the way.

390
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,000
Then it's all yours.

391
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,160
You think how he talks to you is normal?

392
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,320
It's a bit weird, to be honest,

393
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,280
but that doesn't mean your crazy,
immature thoughts are true.

394
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,720
Crazy?

395
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,680
Kamla, you love him.

396
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,760
I can tell from how you speak about him.

397
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,040
Hello?

398
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,200
What's wrong, Samah?

399
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,840
Like I said, the lawyer confirmed

400
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,480
that your brother, may he rest in peace,
left the entire house to Kamla

401
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,440
and his share of land in Qena.

402
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,720
That was five years ago,
before he got sick.

403
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,800
What do you mean? That's not allowed.
It goes against God's law.

404
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,080
If he believed in God, would he have let
his daughter live like this?

405
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,640
-Keep it down.
-I'm not shouting!

406
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,320
Sorry for leaving you all alone…

407
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,920
but I've been away from home
for a week already.

408
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,600
I have to sort things out.

409
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,320
Give me a couple of days,
and I'll be back, my niece.

410
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,040
Asmaa?

411
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,800
May he rest in peace.

412
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,560
I called to book my next session.

413
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,640
The secretary told me about your loss
and that the clinic is closed.

414
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,520
I mean,

415
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,480
did he die that day we were together?

416
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,600
Why didn't you tell me?

417
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,120
I could've been there for you.

418
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,400
Aren't we friends now?

419
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,320
All done.

420
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,200
The AC's fixed.

421
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,800
So I can finally get some sleep?

422
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,880
Don't worry. It's sorted now.

423
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,520
-Take this.
-No need.

424
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:56,760
I insist.

425
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,360
-Thanks.
-Thank you for your help.

426
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,480
Excuse me.

427
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:02,880
Who's this, Kamla?

428
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,440
How could you let a stranger in the house
while you're on your own?

429
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,040
And you even closed the door.

430
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:13,960
The door was already open.

431
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,000
-Secondly, I don't like your tone.
-My tone?

432
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,840
You're a fine one to talk.

433
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,280
You've crossed the line.

434
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,120
On my way up,
I asked the doorman about you.

435
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,120
He told me you always come home late.

436
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,640
Don't you dare!

437
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:32,440
Your father's death doesn't mean
you're free to do whatever you want.

438
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,640
You better watch your step.

439
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:37,200
Do not forget
your name is still Kamla Elwan.

440
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,560
Don't bring shame on the family.

441
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,800
Just like your mother,
your late father saw us as old-fashioned.

442
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,760
Why are you here?

443
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,920
I've come to keep my eye on you
for a couple of days.

444
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,840
I'll be passing by every other day.

445
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,320
That won't work, Auntie.

446
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,440
What won't work, my dear?

447
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:00,800
Your plan.

448
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,720
Don't treat me like a child.

449
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,680
Oh, and I'm not getting married.

450
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,840
You're not getting married, huh?

451
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,880
Why? Are you hiding something?

452
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,560
Oh, Lord.

453
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,200
I'm gonna cut to the chase. Do not worry.
Tell the rest of the family not to either.

454
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,440
I'm not getting married.

455
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,920
Your kids and grandkids will get
my inheritance when I'm gone.

456
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,840
There's no need to make a fuss.

457
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,920
I was with my friends yesterday.

458
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,840
Two of them are married.

459
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,120
It wasn't long before
they started talking about sex.

460
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,120
They were mentioning their experiences,

461
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,840
how they felt and what turned them on.

462
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,040
And despite all the men
who have slept with me,

463
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:46,920
I was just cold.

464
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,080
I feel like a lost cause,

465
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,560
like I'm trying to hold water in a sieve.

466
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,640
We agreed you will keep fighting, Asmaa.

467
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,040
We'll patch up the holes.

468
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,200
Is that the book by the writer
we bumped into at the restaurant?

469
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,680
-Yeah.
-You know I've never read a novel before?

470
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,320
Wanna read it?

471
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,400
Hello?

472
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,840
You look nice.

473
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,800
-Who's this?
-Turn around.

474
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,160
Thanks.

475
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,840
Can I ask you a question?

476
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,640
Sure.

477
00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:59,120
You doctors,

478
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,680
you're so proud of your titles.

479
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,040
That's the impression I get, anyway.

480
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,640
Doctors always introduce themselves
using their titles.

481
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,280
-But you didn't do that with me.
-I don't know.

482
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,600
Maybe because it was never
my dream to become a doctor.

483
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,720
What was your dream?

484
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:20,880
Ballerina.

485
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,040
So what happened?

486
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,160
My dad.

487
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:30,000
He was open-minded,
but only to a certain extent.

488
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,000
We have traditions, after all.

489
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,040
Now, tell me, how did you know I was here?

490
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,040
To be honest,

491
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,200
I've been here more than once
around this time,

492
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,360
looking for you,

493
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,800
but you weren't here.

494
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,520
I just happened to be passing by,
and I saw your car outside.

495
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,080
And here we are.

496
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,040
Why do you look surprised?

497
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,840
I'm not just surprised.

498
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:09,240
I can't believe it.

499
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,120
Shall we eat?

500
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,080
Congratulations are in order!

501
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,400
For what, silly?

502
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,240
He needed to meet with a psychologist
for his new novel. Period.

503
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,200
Yeah, that's how it starts.

504
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,560
Oh, please.

505
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,360
If you were into reading,
I'd recommend a book of his.

506
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,120
You'd see how much he values friendship
between a man and woman.

507
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,920
True friendship, not what
you're thinking of, you smart-ass.

508
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,640
What do you think?

509
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:26,640
This is my creative space.

510
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,720
Do you write here?

511
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:30,840
Not really.

512
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,080
But it's my favorite place

513
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,200
for when I want to get away
and come up with ideas,

514
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,880
like the title
or the ending of a new novel.

515
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:42,520
I'm always here.

516
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,600
Sometimes I get a mental block,

517
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,920
when I can't come up with anything.

518
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,400
And I find myself here,
at this very table.

519
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,040
You seem like a pro.

520
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,560
-I've never played pool before.
-Wanna learn?

521
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,080
Let's do it.

522
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,160
My dad really was a great man.

523
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,240
He started with nothing, worked his way up
to become Judge Ragheb Elwan.

524
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,200
-He was at the top of his game.
-Amazing.

525
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,920
I even told him about my first crush.

526
00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:59,920
-Really?
-Yeah.

527
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,880
-You weren't scared?
-Nope.

528
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,080
He was something else.

529
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,960
Maybe that's why I rejected
everyone who proposed to me.

530
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,440
No man could compare to him.

531
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,160
It seems like you loved him
more than your mother.

532
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:18,880
You think so?

533
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:24,080
Well, you're always talking about him.

534
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,640
Probably because
I have more memories with him.

535
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,800
Mom died when I was in high school.

536
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,960
I wish she'd been around longer.

537
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,760
You wouldn't believe how smart
and well educated she was.

538
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,800
My parents' love story is better
than the ones in your novels.

539
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,160
So tell me,

540
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,360
was she from Upper Egypt too?

541
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,560
No, Alexandria.

542
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,360
Maybe that's why my father's family

543
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,160
would always pick on her and her quirks.

544
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:56,320
They pick on me now instead.

545
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:06,240
Thanks.

546
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,280
They say wine helps people open up.

547
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,680
Do you think you need wine?

548
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:17,280
Maybe.

549
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,480
I don't know how you broke down my walls.

550
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,560
-Can I be honest with you?
-Sure.

551
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,760
I'll tell you a small secret.

552
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,000
Remember when we met at the restaurant,
and you came over and said hi?

553
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,600
It wasn't a coincidence.

554
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,320
I was waiting for you.

555
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:46,640
Honestly,

556
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,680
ever since I saw you at that event,

557
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,960
and you asked me those questions, Kamla,

558
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,720
you've been on my mind.

559
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,360
And as you know, when a novelist wants

560
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,440
to get to know someone,
they learn everything they can about them.

561
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,880
See? You don't need wine.

562
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,040
What about you?

563
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,120
What?

564
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,480
Your turn. Tell me a secret.

565
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,080
If you need it, there's the wine.

566
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:29,320
From the first novel of yours I read,
I felt like I knew you.

567
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,040
Or that I'd get to know you.

568
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,880
What do you think?

569
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,840
Why are you laughing? I'm serious.

570
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,600
A novel about me? Really?

571
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,720
-Yeah.
-Am I really that rare?

572
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,200
Not rare, but very rich and deep.
With character.

573
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,440
Someone who deserves to be written about.

574
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,240
You face your challenges like a hero.

575
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,440
-A hero?
-Kamla,

576
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,680
any woman in your shoes would have
accepted the first proposal she received

577
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,600
just to avoid being called a spinster.

578
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,680
Even if the marriage was at the expense
of her happiness or self-fulfillment.

579
00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:16,240
What about you?

580
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,400
Do you consider yourself a hero
for not getting married yet?

581
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,360
That's a long story.

582
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,640
I'm sure you know

583
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:27,000
that any unmarried man my age

584
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,280
is called one of three things.

585
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,680
Either he's a womanizer

586
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,120
or, pardon me,

587
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:36,840
impotent.

588
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,000
He can't get it up.

589
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,360
Or he's gay.

590
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,040
Thankfully,
I don't fit into any of those labels.

591
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,400
I feel like a lost cause,

592
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:02,000
like I'm trying to hold water in a sieve.

593
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,920
Hoping to feel something after all.

594
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,080
I can't stop thinking about it.

595
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,240
Like a hungry person
with food in front of them…

596
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,920
but their hands are tied,
and their lips are sealed.

597
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,440
SUICIDE CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM,
ASMAA

598
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,080
Her brother visited the day before,

599
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,840
accompanied by a guy he owed money to.

600
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,640
He wanted her to marry the guy
to settle the debt.

601
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:48,520
Again.

602
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,000
They wanted to sell her again.

603
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:55,960
How could you agree?

604
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,040
I had no say in it.

605
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,760
Her father controlled everything.

606
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:04,680
And since his passing,

607
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,080
her brother's taken over.

608
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,400
He orders me around more than his sisters.

609
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,840
Anyway, he did nothing wrong.

610
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:15,960
He wanted her to settle down.

611
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,880
Instead of hustling for pennies
or sleeping around.

612
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,800
He wanted to save her reputation.

613
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,120
And now that she's done this,

614
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,880
people will never stop talking.

615
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,040
My daughter.

616
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,280
I'm heartbroken.

617
00:53:37,240 --> 00:53:38,920
I wish I could cry and scream.

618
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,160
I pray she enters heaven, but they said
it's forbidden, and she's doomed to hell.

619
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,160
Can she go to heaven
after what she's done?

620
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,080
I'd like to see her room.

621
00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:14,280
Wanna read it?

622
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:55,400
-What's your name, dear?
-My name is Israa.

623
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,680
That's a lovely doll, Israa.

624
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:14,560
I'll see you out.

625
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:21,160
Are you her brother?

626
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,560
Are you the one who made her an infidel?

627
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:26,560
Asmaa was not an infidel.

628
00:57:58,320 --> 00:57:59,520
When they circumcised me,

629
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,320
my father got angry
because my screams woke him up.

630
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,440
So my mom covered my mouth with a pillow.

631
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,400
I'm numb.

632
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,760
I don't know what came over me.

633
00:58:58,320 --> 00:58:59,600
I was getting better.

634
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,000
I even started taking the bus again.

635
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:07,920
I don't know why. Once I saw her,

636
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,680
the dirty thoughts came back.

637
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,000
Maybe because she was wearing--

638
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:16,320
That's pathetic.

639
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,400
If you think their clothing justifies
your actions, you'll never change.

640
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:27,680
Sorry, Omar.

641
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,080
I'm going to end this session.

642
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,280
I'm a little stressed.

643
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,000
I do apologize.

644
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,200
Behave.

645
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,640
-I'll hit you if you do it again.
-Keep it down.

646
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,760
-Behave yourself.
-I didn't do anything.

647
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,120
-You're so naughty.
-I'm really not.

648
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,800
Don't take me for a fool because
I let you see your fiancé here last time.

649
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,400
What's wrong with you?
Don't you have any self-control?

650
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,040
I can't sleep at all.

651
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,920
I see her in my dreams.

652
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,560
I even see her when I'm awake.

653
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,120
I know it's my fault.

654
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,760
I shouldn't have gotten involved
in her feelings.

655
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,800
I knew she was a patient, not a friend.

656
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,640
Although I admit it wasn't professional…

657
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,000
I can't help but feel guilty.

658
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,240
I feel I let her down
when she needed me most.

659
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:01,640
Listen, Kamla.

660
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,400
Let me tell you something.

661
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,480
I'm sure you already know…

662
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,280
but we're not responsible
for people's lives.

663
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,080
You're not responsible for anyone's life.

664
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,280
I'm confused.

665
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,040
All my life, I thought I was strong,

666
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,120
but it turns out
I was running blindfolded.

667
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,640
When I removed the blindfold,
I found I'd been running in circles…

668
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:37,920
until I was gasping for breath.

669
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,000
I think you need to take a break.

670
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:48,160
Stay away from anything work-related.

671
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,040
Even your thesis. Put it on hold.

672
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,720
I'll prescribe you something
to help you sleep.

673
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,160
I'm sure you'll feel better.

674
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:00,480
I'm optimistic.

675
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:37,680
Why did you turn your phone off?

676
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,120
I'm sure this isn't the first suicide case
that you've dealt with.

677
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,640
I can't take it anymore.

678
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,760
She haunts me in everything I do
and everywhere I go.

679
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:14,680
Calm down.

680
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:16,840
It's fine.

681
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:18,960
It's our fault, both of us.

682
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:24,840
How come?

683
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:27,720
The first time we met here,

684
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:30,080
she was with me.

685
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,120
She asked about you.

686
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,080
I told her about your recent novel,

687
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:36,960
and she took it home.

688
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,720
Once she'd finished reading it,
she told me suicide was brave.

689
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:46,840
Kamla.

690
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,360
Although we haven't known
each other very long…

691
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,480
I know you're stronger than that.

692
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,240
-I appreciate that what happened--
-Let's just leave it.

693
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,880
Hi, Kamla. Is everything okay?

694
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,040
Were you asleep? Sorry if I woke you.

695
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,960
No, no. I just got home.

696
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,680
I just wanted to thank you
for your support.

697
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,840
Also, I wanted to apologize.

698
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,120
I was a bit rude.

699
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,360
Kamla, please don't apologize.

700
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:41,920
I should be thanking you.

701
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,360
Thanks for letting me be there for you.

702
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:48,920
Listen,

703
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,960
if you're free tomorrow,
I wanna take you out.

704
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:55,120
I know just the place.

705
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,320
You'll love it.

706
01:04:58,200 --> 01:04:59,320
Trust me.

707
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,080
I'm the only uncircumcised girl
in my family.

708
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,440
My parents insisted against it,

709
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,520
even though the family pressured my dad.

710
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,760
He told them, "I named her Kamla,
and she'll stay as she is."

711
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,040
However, Asmaa and I share
the same problem.

712
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,720
Society defines women by their bodies.

713
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,600
They mutilated her
to protect their own reputation.

714
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:42,440
And my family is always watching me
to ensure their reputation remains intact.

715
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,440
They're all wondering the same thing:

716
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,320
How come I avoid temptation
while being uncircumcised?

717
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,000
If looks could kill,
I'd be dead right now.

718
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,160
Their stares mutilate me.

719
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:41,040
-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

720
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:47,160
My auntie would kill me if she knew
I was thinking of getting married.

721
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:48,600
That's weird.

722
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,720
Isn't that what she's always wanted?

723
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:52,400
She used to, yeah.

724
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,720
But all that's changed
since my father passed.

725
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,400
They thought they were entitled
to his inheritance,

726
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:00,240
but when they found out--

727
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:04,160
What's on your mind?

728
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:07,440
Nothing.

729
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:09,960
I'm just surprised.

730
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:12,120
Why?

731
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:15,640
Kamla…

732
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,520
ever since the first time I saw you,
I knew there'd be

733
01:08:22,279 --> 01:08:24,000
something between us.

734
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:25,680
I didn't know what.

735
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,680
It could've been anything, even a fight.

736
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:28,760
Oh, please.

737
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,319
But I never thought…

738
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:36,640
I'd fall in love this quickly.

739
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,160
I won the bet. You owe me one.

740
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,359
Don't be silly. Not so fast.

741
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,399
What are you waiting for?
Didn't he say it?

742
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,399
It's not that easy, Marilyn.

743
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,760
Don't you know
how my dad's family will react?

744
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,120
You owe them nothing.
Do whatever you want.

745
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:07,920
I'm not afraid of them.

746
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:10,960
I just don't want Yousif
to get caught up in it.

747
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:15,279
You know what my auntie's like.
She's not going to give up.

748
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:25,720
I can't go home.

749
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,160
I don't wanna go home.

750
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:35,680
I miss you.

751
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,480
Sorry, the number
you have dialed is not in service.

752
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,880
Sorry, the number
you have dialed is not in service.

753
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,720
Please try again later.

754
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:24,800
You left while I was asleep.

755
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:29,880
Yeah, sorry.

756
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,560
I didn't want to wake you.

757
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,160
I called you several times,
but you didn't answer.

758
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,240
I'm sorry.

759
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:42,040
I had work to do.

760
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:43,880
A new novel?

761
01:13:51,440 --> 01:13:52,800
What's wrong, Kamla?

762
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:08,400
What's wrong with you?

763
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,320
You should have told me you were a virgin.

764
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,120
I told you I've never been married.

765
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,560
That doesn't necessarily mean
you're a virgin.

766
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:30,280
What do you mean?

767
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,920
Why did you think I wouldn't be a virgin?

768
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:36,880
Because it doesn't make sense.

769
01:14:37,480 --> 01:14:40,040
A woman like you, at your age,

770
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:42,600
and still a virgin.

771
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:45,800
I told you that you're the first man
to enter my life.

772
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,120
I believed you.

773
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:50,840
I never thought--

774
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:52,520
I was a virgin. So what?

775
01:14:53,480 --> 01:14:54,680
What's the big deal?

776
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:11,080
I feel guilty.

777
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,160
I've felt so guilty since then.

778
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:17,440
I feel I'm the reason--

779
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,000
The reason for what?

780
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,920
The reason you lost
what you'd kept safe for so long.

781
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,520
I thought it happened out of love.

782
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,480
And we're getting married, right?

783
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:33,560
Yeah.

784
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,480
I love you, and I know you love me.

785
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:43,600
I'm sure you can appreciate that,
at my age, an unmarried man,

786
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:45,520
a man like me,

787
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,600
has fears and can't easily make
that kind of decision.

788
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:51,720
Having said that,

789
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:54,360
ever since I met you,

790
01:15:54,440 --> 01:15:56,520
I can't stop thinking about marriage.

791
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:02,600
But not like this.

792
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,120
So you thought I wasn't a virgin?

793
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,320
You wanted to have some fun
and then leave me?

794
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:19,640
Right?

795
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,360
Kamla, please just calm--

796
01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:24,360
-How dare you.
-"How dare I" what?

797
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:27,120
How dare you judge me.

798
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:30,120
You're just like them.

799
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,240
My auntie, my neighbors and my family.

800
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,560
You're nowhere near as nice
as the men in your novels.

801
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,200
-Kamla, I'm--
-You're selfish.

802
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:43,320
I mean nothing to you.

803
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:45,680
I'm just a character for your new novel.

804
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:54,520
You should've told me.

805
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:58,200
I had the right to know.

806
01:16:59,960 --> 01:17:02,040
Oh, don't worry, Yousif.

807
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,640
Even if you were the last man on earth,
I wouldn't marry you. You know why?

808
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:09,960
Because you're fake.

809
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:15,080
You're only nice in your novels.

810
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:20,440
But you think like they do.

811
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,000
You see me like they do.

812
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:30,920
I should've realized.

813
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:36,480
Kamla.

814
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:58,440
That dirty bastard. He pretends
he is an open-minded writer,

815
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,240
and that he is a feminist.

816
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,880
Fuck that bastard.

817
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,640
He doesn't deserve you. Forget him.

818
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:14,360
Hello?

819
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:17,560
Kamla, are you still there?

820
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:07,880
I missed you, my niece.

821
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,840
I promised myself
I'd never visit you again,

822
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:23,480
but my heart couldn't bear it.

823
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,200
My son Adel has decided
he wants to marry you.

824
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:31,400
What?

825
01:23:31,480 --> 01:23:32,720
You heard me.

826
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:36,560
Your cousin is better than a stranger.

827
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:38,360
Isn't your son married?

828
01:23:38,440 --> 01:23:39,640
Yeah. So what?

829
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,320
It's allowed in our religion.

830
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:42,560
Long story short,

831
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,440
the whole family's talking.

832
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:48,120
They don't like
that you live on your own, freely.

833
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:49,440
Auntie.

834
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,720
Who's that man who visits you, huh?

835
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:55,000
And why did you smash
your car window like a lunatic?

836
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:56,680
Listen, Kamla.

837
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,280
Your cousin is good for you.

838
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,520
And he's more deserving
of your money and inheritance.

839
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:17,640
What's the matter? What's wrong?

840
01:24:20,480 --> 01:24:21,880
Listen, Auntie.

841
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:23,760
Now is not the time.

842
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:25,840
My stomach is killing me.

843
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:27,880
Now's not the time? Fine.

844
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:30,360
I'm going to bed.

845
01:24:30,440 --> 01:24:34,320
If I wake up and you're still here,
consider I heard nothing of what you said.

846
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:11,120
What do you mean?

847
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:13,080
It means "not pregnant."

848
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:16,240
Are you sure?

849
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:18,120
Positive.

850
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:22,040
Maybe she has a stomach bug,
or her period is a bit late.

851
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:34,240
What was that?

852
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:41,120
Who's there?

853
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:03,520
Open up, Kamla.

854
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:04,600
Open the door, Kamla.

855
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,320
I should've done this long ago.
Kamla, open the door now!

856
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:12,000
I should've done this long ago.
Kamla, open the door now!

857
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,480
Open the door, Kamla!

858
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:24,920
Open the door, Kamla!

859
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:27,760
Open the door!

860
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:38,200
