-
- God forgive me, I've sinned
- God forgive me, I've sinned
-
King of peace, give us your peace
bring your peace upon us
-
- Forgive our sins
- Heal the sick
-
- Console the sad
- God, help those in pain
-
Peace be upon you
peace be upon you
-
God, make me benefit from your teachings
and teach me what is good to me
-
Give me more knowledge
-
God, I ask your love, your work's
love and bring me closer to you
-
There is no god but you
Almighty Most Merciful God
-
Any man who looks at a woman
in desire, commits adultery
-
He commits adultery
-
A good woman
is more valuable than pearls
-
He commits adultery
-
- More valuable than pearls
- More valuable than pears
-
You've grown up, George
-
Finish your studies because
I found you a very unique girl
-
- Who, dad?
- Janet, daughter of William Shahata
-
- My God
- What? Is there a problem?
-
No, but she's a bit thin
-
George, my son
marriage is a sacred bond
-
What God bring together
cannot be separated by man
-
You will feel at ease with Janet
all your life and the thin can fatten
-
and the fat can lose weight
and the beautiful will become ugly
-
The most important thing is that inner
peace and love between you remains
-
- She's also a bit cross-eyed
- You and your strange things
-
You think once you'll get married
you'll keep looking at her eyes forever
-
These things fade with time and
when you get married, you'll be one
-
She's stupid, dad
-
You didn't see your
mother when I married her
-
- Marriage will make her rational
- She has a big nose
-
What? You think
you'll put your nose on hers?
-
I am going to marry her, dad!
-
What does marriage
have to do with the nose?
-
You did not see your mother
when I married her, she had a trunk
-
But with time and love...
-
You think her nose will
shrink after marriage?
-
Good morning
-
"Spices, Sheikh Mahmud
Seif el-Din, I trust in God"
-
- Good morning, Sheikh Mahmud
- Good morning
-
I need the things on this list
-
God
-
Why don't you stop your nonsense
Abdel-Hadi? Take it easy
-
Nutmeg and firestone?
This is the fifth marriage, Abdel-Hadi?
-
Isn't that better than adultery?
-
- How old is the bride?
- 25 years
-
Then may God bless you and these
are two ounces of coffee for you
-
- What is that for?
- Your funeral
-
This way, you will die
right after your wedding day
-
- We want a word with you Sheikh Mahmud
- What is it, Muhsin?
-
- Where is your brother Usama?
- I don't know, sir
-
We know you are a good
respectable and peaceful man
-
But listen carefully, if your
brother contacts you in any way
-
tell him to stop what he's doing
-
Advise him and tell him
this is his last chance
-
Fine, sir, fine
-
Why don't you come in for a drink?
-
The 51st conference of the national
unity stresses on the friendly feelings
-
between Muslims and Christians on
the land of the Cross and the Crescent
-
Conferences?
What conferences, Lucas?
-
Even in a hundred years
we won't get our rights in this country
-
We cannot build a church
or even fix a bathroom in one
-
without waiting
a year for a permission
-
This is not all, can any of our people
reach a high post of authority?
-
Tell me, how many Christian ministers
are there in the government
-
Just kisses, hugs
decisions and conferences
-
but what in the heart is what counts
-
They are oppressed?
What do you mean, Sheikh Gahed
-
We are the oppressed ones
-
Each time we build a mosque
they build a church next to it
-
They have most of the funds is this country?
Is there a trade they don't work in?
-
You're right, bank managers and
chairmen of the big touristic companies
-
- They are all Christians
- That is right, Sheikh Gahed
-
- Have you ever seen a Christian beggar?
- You're right
-
And they say "we don't
have a day off on our holidays"
-
to the point that all their
holidays are days off now
-
With their holidays and ours, nobody
is working in this country anymore
-
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
-
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
-
Our True Religion urges us
to treat our fellow Christians well
-
And I see the feelings of love
and brotherhood between us...
-
have reached their
peaks and highest point
-
As for the extremists and terrorists
-
who harm with their actions
the Islamic nation and religion
-
They have nothing of Islam
and Islam is free from them
-
just as the wolf is free
from the son of Jacob's blood
-
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
-
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
-
Now, I give you my brother Paul
the famous preacher
-
and theology professor
-
In the name of the father
the son and the Holy Spirit, amen
-
We thank God for giving us this safe
country to live as good and unified brothers
-
Christians and Muslims
-
The seed in the ground
producing delicious fruits to eat
-
does not know if it was planted
by a Christian or a Muslim
-
Some Christians who sow dissensions
between the two elements of the nation
-
are not Christians or Egyptians, they are
the enemy of the Church and the country
-
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
-
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
- Long live the Crescent and the Cross!
-
Why did you say that, dad? You did it again
-
Didn't we agree that we want
nothing to do with these people?
-
- I said what I believed in, George
- Those against you are not peaceful
-
And they won't
overlook what you said
-
You don't know what they
are saying about you in the net
-
What can they do? Kill me?
You are worried about your father, George?
-
Don't worry, God will protect me
what is this sound?
-
I don't know
this is the first time I hear it in the car
-
Run, dad!
-
- Let's go
- Come on
-
"Immortality is only for God
funeral of Sheikh Usama Seif el-Din"
-
Immortality is only for God
brother Mahmud
-
Thank God for everything
-
I'm Sheikh Umar Sanad and
this is Sheikh Khalid Abdel-Gabbar
-
late brother was
a leader and teacher
-
God bless his soul
-
For God to have mercy upon him
-
you must continue the Jihad
launched by Sheikh Usama
-
and carry on with
his struggle for Islam
-
What do you mean?
-
Sheikh Usama was the Prince of the
group and he willed you his principality
-
Sheikh Umar
I am a true believer, I pray and fast
-
But I don't like to be
a member of a religious group
-
You don't like? This is your
religious duty, Sheikh Mahmud
-
There is no "like" or "don't like" here
-
Moreover, your refusal can sow dissension
between the brothers in the group
-
And we want the principality to be
conveyed peacefully without any trouble
-
I am not a member of the group
in the first place to be its Prince
-
I've always advised my late
brother but he chose this course
-
- And this was the result
- What about this result?
-
Is there anything better than that?
-
- He died a martyr
- Thank you for coming, brothers
-
"Say nothing will happen to us
except what Allah has decreed for us"
-
May God compensate you
Mahmud, you are a good man
-
You've never hurt anybody
-
Who do you think did it
Sheikh Mahmud?
-
Sufficient unto me is God
-
No, sir, we know very well
who did it, speak up, dad!
-
Don't say a word, not word, Fatma
-
Sir, we've been living
in terror for a month
-
We are in danger
do something, protect us
-
Tell me what happened exactly
Sheikh Mahmud
-
We leave the country
we go to America, Paul
-
I can't contain myself, if I hear
a firecracker in the street, I lose it
-
If a tire bursts
I get so scared, I die...
-
I feel I will be shot at any moment
any sound next to me confuses me
-
My God
-
Hello, William, thank God
William, I'm fine, it's alright
-
And George is also fine, he's alright
-
God is protecting us
William, thank you
-
Mom is right, dad
we must leave the country now
-
And we will get rid of Janet
William Shahata's daughter
-
You want to leave Egypt?
-
Virgin Mary and the Christ
when they fled, they came to Egypt
-
And you want us to leave Egypt?
-
Egypt is my nation
my country, if I leave it, I will die
-
If we stay in it, we will die, Paul
-
You think we'll be safe there
-
Don't you think that the danger we
are fleeing here can be worse there?
-
- My God!
- Who is it?
-
Open up, Father Paul, I am general
Mukhtar Salim from National Security
-
First of all, leaving to America is
a wrong decision at this particular time
-
You were listening to us
-
But you need to disappear
for 6 or 7 months in a very secure place
-
Let's go to Iraq, they have Sunni-Shiite
issues and we are out of that
-
- You need to leave your house now
- Where would we go?
-
We found you an apartment
temporarily in Al-Minyah
-
- Where?
- Where?
-
Of course, Mr. Paul, you will not stay
in Al-Minyah as Paul or as a religious man
-
- What will be then, sir?
- You will shortly know
-
They are making identity
cards with your new names
-
- And we'll keep in touch with you
- Why did this happened to us, Paul?
-
Don't worry, Matilda
God is protecting us
-
- My God!
- Sir, who is it now?
-
- Hassan Abdel-Hamid al-Attar
- Who?
-
You, your name is Hassan
Abdel-Hamid al-Attar
-
I think we better
leave the country, Matilda
-
- Yes
- Yes
-
And your wife is Zinat Siliman Abdel-Ati
-
Abdel-Ati? Yes
-
- And what about this fellow here?
- Imad
-
Imad goes for both
-
But why are you doing all this?
If you can't protect us, tell us
-
I will not change my name
-
No one said you're going to change anything
brother Paul, this is temporary
-
You are famous and
hiding you is very difficult
-
If you stay with any Christian
you'll be found
-
So we thought it's best for you to spend
the next few months in a Muslim's house
-
He's a peaceful guy who does
not know you and you don't know him
-
And if you don't like it there, we won't
leave you, we're with you and to your side
-
Everything is under control
-
Welcome, welcome, welcome
it's an honor to have you
-
How are you, old lady?
Welcome, welcome, Sheikh Hassan
-
It's a great honor
-
Yesterday, Hajji Umran
came to see me
-
and said Sheikh Hassan would
come stay with me, I told him "Sure"
-
He spent all night asking
me to take care of you
-
Hajji Umran seems to appreciate
you so much, Sheikh Hassan
-
- Who is Hajji Umran?
- Hajji Umran
-
- Who is Hajji Umran?
- Hajji Umran, son
-
- God, this is your son, Sheikh Hassan?
- Yes, my son, Geor...
-
- Imad, Imad, Imad Paul...
- Imad Hassan al-Attar, George...
-
- Imad...
- Imad George, let's go
-
- Let's go
- Come in, come in
-
Welcome, welcome, it is a great honor
-
- You're welcome, Sheikh Hassan, welcome
- God bless you, Sheikh Bilal
-
God bless, you're welcome
I will leave you now to rest and change
-
I will come take you and Imad
to pray the afternoon in the mosque
-
Fine, excuse me
-
- You will go to the mosque, Paul?
- I won't go to the mosque, father
-
And I don't care what happens
-
if these people know we're Christians
they will cut us to pieces
-
- My God!
- And if they know my name is George
-
Calm down, don't worry
God is protecting us
-
- My God!
- Who is it?
-
Open up, Sheikh Hassan!
-
God, excuse me
Sheikh Hassan, this is nothing
-
Mrs. Um Islam send her best wishes to
Mrs. Um Imad and will come see her soon
-
- You shouldn't have, Sheikh Bilal
- Nonsense
-
The Prophet commands us
to take care of our neighbors
-
Let's go, it's time
for the afternoon prayer
-
Did you wash up or will
you do it in the mosque, Imad?
-
In the name of Allah
what happened to him? What is wrong?
-
- No, he had a fit
- Fit?
-
- Yes
- We need to read some verses to him...
-
- Let me do it
- No, no, no, no, no, no...
-
Me and his mother
know how to wake him up
-
Fine, I will go pray and
come back to check on him
-
- Goodbye
- Goodbye, Sheikh Bilal, goodbye
-
Get up, get up, George, the man left
-
You will do that each
time there is a prayer?
-
They pray 5 times a day
not to mention the nightly prayers
-
Are you sure, Sheikh Bilal?
Sheikh Hassan al-Attar himself?
-
- You know him Sheikh?
- Of course
-
Everybody knows
Sheikh Hassan al-Attar
-
He's a great scholar
a big Muslim figure
-
I loved him the first time I saw him
his face is bright and his eyes shine
-
Why didn't he come to pray
the afternoon with us, Sheikh Bilal?
-
He was washed up and ready
to come pray with us but... God help us
-
- His son had a fit
- A fit?
-
Yes, that's it so I told him to stay
with his son and God will forgive him
-
Allah is great, Allah is great
Allah is great, Allah is great
-
Sorry, Sheikh, it's not my fault, Sheikh
-
But the brothers in the mosque when
they knew you were staying with me
-
swore that no one but you would
give the lesson in the mosque, Sheikh
-
They want me to give
them the lesson in the mosque
-
Sheikh, I didn't know who you were
and who but you will give them the lesson?
-
- How is Imad? How is he?
- Imad who?
-
Imad, your son
Sheikh... God, another fit?
-
Don't worry, Sheikh
we'll take him with us to the mosque
-
We'll read him some verses
and he'll be good again, God willing
-
Let's go, let's go, Sheikh Hassan
-
Allah is great, Allah is great
Allah is great, Allah is great
-
Allah is great, Allah is great
Allah is great, Allah is great
-
Allah is great, Allah is great
Allah is great, Allah is great
-
Allah is great, Allah is great
Allah is great, Allah is great
-
May God protect you, Paul, my God
be with you, George, Christ is with you
-
May the Christ protect you
-
Sheikh Hassan, what is the rule on a guy
in Saudi Arabia who fasted for 30 days
-
then comes back to Egypt
and finds Ramadan is not over yet
-
So he fasts for 31 days then goes to Libya
and Ramadan is not over yet there?
-
What can he do?
Shall he fast or not?
-
- What does the religion say?
- The Prophet, peace be upon him, said
-
"Fast for Him and break the fast for Him"
-
"and if it becomes complicated
fast for 30 days"
-
This is clear enough
-
Allah is great, Allah is great
Allah is great, Allah is great
-
What does religion say about
an old man who lost all his teeth
-
and is having a new set like me
but doesn't use the tooth cleanser?
-
People say this is not allowed
and that we must use the tooth cleanser
-
because this cleanser was used as
a rule by the Prophet, peace be upon him
-
Peace be upon him
-
- What does religion say?
- The Prophet, peace be upon him, said
-
"If I didn't think it would be
difficult for my nation..."
-
"I would have asked them to use
the tooth cleanser with every prayer"
-
I am a barber, Sheikh
-
some people came and told me
that was forbidden to shave the beard
-
So I hung a sign in my shop "No beard
shaving" but no clients come in anymore
-
I used to make 20 or 30 Egyptian pounds
per day, now it'll be great if I make 10
-
Was I right or wrong?
-
What does religion say?
-
The Shafi'ites say
that shaving the beard off is a rule
-
Who commit to that, gets a reward
and it is not a sin if you don't
-
Sheikh, there is a man
who cannot control his wife
-
because God forbid, he's married
to strong and fierce woman
-
He wants to teach her discipline
what shall he do?
-
What does religion say?
-
- "Admonish them"
- She won't listen
-
- "Refuse to share their beds"
- She likes that the most
-
- "Beat them"
- No, she's so strong
-
If I beat her
she'll beat me with her slipper
-
Listen, son, such woman does not
need a religious opinion but the prison
-
Allah is great, Allah is great
Sheikh Hassan
-
Allah is great, Sheikh Hassan
this is great...
-
What does religion say about a person
like me who is too old to get married
-
and has nothing at all
-
Sometimes they come to me at night
and the devil plays games with my mind
-
You were a young man
and you know how it is, sir
-
- No, no, Sheikh Imad will answer this
- Sheikh Imad who?
-
Yes, Sheikh Imad is your age
and can answer this correctly
-
Go ahead, Sheikh Imad
-
- What is religion say?
- "Seek help with patience and prayer"
-
- It is clear
- God bless you, Sheikh Imad
-
God bless you
God bless you, Sheikh...
-
- Good evening
- What is it, Sheikh Bilal?
-
Nothing, Sheikh, they are just the
neighbors, they seek your blessings
-
They are poor people and I know
your have a good heart, Sheikh Hassan
-
- Get in, Um Ibrahim
- Um Ibrahim who?
-
She's a poor lady, Sheikh
she cannot have children
-
But who is Ibrahim then?
-
She vowed if she gave birth
to a child, she'll call him Ibrahim
-
- What do you want me to do?
- Read some verses or make her amulet
-
for God to grant her what she wants
-
- Kiss our Sheikh's hand
- Don't kiss or approach me
-
Fine, I'll leave you
with her to assist her
-
Where are you going? Stay here
I will do that while you're here
-
Don't move... come here
-
After this, God will grant you
everything, go ahead, leave
-
I want to hear your
joyful chant while leaving
-
Go ahead
-
- Come in, Inayat
- Who is this Inayat too?
-
Um Ibrahim is enough
have mercy, Sheikh Bilal
-
This is Inayat
Sheikh, her husband is tied up
-
- Tied up?
- Yes, he was enchanted
-
Every time he comes in to sleep with her
he pictures her as a monkey
-
- Monkey?
- Yes
-
- We need something to stop that
- Yes
-
She also does not have
kids like Um Ibrahim
-
- No, Sheikh, she has seven children
- Seven?
-
How does he see
her as a monkey then?
-
I looked everywhere, sir
I consulted doctors, sheikhs and saints
-
- I even went to the priest
- The priest?
-
- Yes
- And he did nothing
-
I think you will cure me
God willing, Sheikh Hassan
-
- Your blessings, Sheikh
- God is the healer
-
Allah is great, the prophet is the best
-
Go away, go away from me
I will get you in, one by one, order!
-
What is this? One by one, leave me alone
I'll get you in, one after another
-
One by one
this is not acceptable...
-
People, calm down
this is unacceptable
-
If Sheikh Hassan sees this
he won't come out, one by one
-
Just take these to him
-
Hajji... Sheikh Hassan doesn't take birds
or anything, he does this for God's sake
-
Please, Sheikh Imad, my wife only
give birth to girls and I want a boy
-
You think the goose and
the two eggs will give you the boy?
-
- Next, Sheikh Imad
- Number 18
-
God willing, Sheikh Hassan, I will run
for elections of the People's Council
-
and that is just to serve the people
-
I won the last session and the one
before with the overwhelming majority
-
This year, I have against me an unpleasant
man with a lot of connections
-
He has all the people by his side
-
- What do you want me to do?
- Maybe a charm or amulet
-
For the people to gather around me
see only me and vote in my favor
-
- What is your party?
- The national party
-
The national party and
you need an amulet or charm?
-
Leave, you'll surely win, leave
-
Our Father in heaven
hallowed be your name
-
your kingdom come
your will be done on earth as in heaven
-
Give us today our daily bread
-
Forgive us our sins as we
forgive those who sin against us
-
- Are you Hassan al-Attar?
- Yes
-
- Come with us?
- Where are you taking him?
-
- Wait, sir, he's not Hassan al-Attar
- Enough, enough...
-
What is with you, Um Imad?
-
Imad? Imad, why are you standing
like that? Take care of Zinat
-
- Zinat who?
- Your mother, Imad
-
- Imad your mother, Zinat is your mother
- Okay, okay
-
I won't be for long
-
What is wrong, sir?
Where are you taking, Sheikh Hassan?
-
He's a good and honest man
and the entire region loves him
-
- Don't interfere, Sheikh Bilal
- What? I'm coming with you
-
- Stay here, Sheikh Zinat... Bilal
- What are you saying, Sheikh?
-
I will not leave you
we are all coming with you
-
- There is no god but Allah
- There is no god but Allah...
-
- We will die for you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
- We will die for you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
-
- There is no god but Allah
- There is no god but Allah...
-
- We are with you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
- We are with you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
-
- There is no god but Allah
- There is no god but Allah...
-
- We will die for you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
- We will die for you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
-
- There is no god but Allah
- There is no god but Allah...
-
- We will die for you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
- We will die for you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
-
- There is no god but Allah
- There is no god but Allah...
-
- We will die for you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
- We will die for you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
-
- There is no god but Allah
- What you're doing isn't in your favor
-
Leave now, we will talk a bit with
Sheikh Hassan and release him soon
-
Sheikh Hassan, what they
are doing is not in your favor
-
- You are responsible for that
- What did I do?
-
Did I tell them to come?
-
- There is no god but Allah
- There is no god but Allah...
-
- We are with you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
- We are with you, Sheikh Al-Attar!
-
- Hassan Abdel-Hamid al-Attar
- If you don't mind, please...
-
- I want to talk to general Mukhtar Salim
- You can talk to anybody
-
But first, don't you want to know
why we brought you here?
-
I didn't do anything, sir
-
If you think you'll do here in
Minyah what you did in Asyut, no
-
- Forget about it
- Asyut?
-
- What is your relation with Al-Qaeda?
- Al-Qaeda? This is not permissible
-
Listen, Hassan
I believe in discussion, dialogue
-
and violence
and severity are not my style
-
But if I feel that the person
before me is lying to me
-
I have ways and methods
that make you confess everything
-
What is wrong with you?
You were good, what happened?
-
I'm good, nice and cool as long
as you are honest with me
-
- But...
- It's this "but" that makes you angry
-
Let's get rid of it
-
How much time did you spend
in Afghanistan, Hassan al-Attar?
-
Afghanistan?
-
Please, call general
Mukhtar Salim for me now!
-
Yes, sir, the entire city
is out there demonstrating
-
And they refuse to leave
without Sheikh Hassan
-
So you were able to establish
a popular basis this quickly?
-
Since the first day? What will you do
if you stay here for 2 or 3 years then?
-
If you don't mind, I want
to talk with general Mukhtar Salim
-
Okay, we will call general
Mukhtar Salim for you
-
Why didn't the Interior
Minister issue yet a statement
-
with the casualties
of the explosion's incident?
-
Thankfully, there are no casualties
-
It's just some cars and shops that were
ruined, 3 injured people and 75 dead
-
But not because of the explosion
because of the pushing afterwards
-
And thankfully, they are
all Egyptians with no foreigners
-
- Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar!
- What is it, Fawzi?
-
- A phone call for you, sir
- Give me that... yes
-
Who? Hassan al-Attar who?
I don't know anybody with this name
-
Yes, sir, yes, Mr. Mukhtar
I'm Hassan al-Attar
-
The Christian Sheikh Hassan al-Attar
-
You sent me to Al-Minyah
with my wife and son George
-
who is Imad the Christian Muslim
-
- Focus with me a bit
- Yes, yes, how are you brother Paul?
-
Did Egypt become
an international terrorism region
-
- Because of the repeated explosions?
- I want you to rest assured
-
You see our men
are they doing their job or not?
-
They are doing their job
but more than necessary
-
I'm talking with you from the police
station, what am I doing there?
-
- They knew I work with Al-Qaeda
- Al-Qaeda organization?
-
True, sir, this kind of explosions in the
vital areas is the method of Al-Qaeda
-
- Who said this nonsense?
- How should I know?
-
Why don't you tell the officer that?
-
Yes sir
-
Did any side claim
responsibility for the incident?
-
- No, but it's surely a disturbed person
- Disturbed person?
-
Yes, yes, I'm with you, sir
whatever you want, sir, goodbye
-
Sheikh Hassan, we're sorry
-
It seems you have the same name
as a wanted person, you can leave
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Brothers, from this day on, Sheikh
Hassan al-Attar is the Imam of the mosque
-
- Imam?
- Yes
-
And on Friday, he'll give hopefully
the sermon in spite of the government
-
Allah is great
Allah is great, Allah is great...
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
Government, leave, leave
all oppression will end today!
-
We're not safe here anymore, Matilda
-
You should have seen people
in the front of the station
-
They spoke against the government
and want me to be the mosque's Imam
-
- Where will we go, Paul?
- William Shahata's house
-
Isn't there anybody
but William Shahata to stay with?
-
What is wrong with William Shahata?
He's a good man and a real Christian
-
He was so happy when
I told him we're staying with him
-
I also told him everything
absolutely everything
-
- I'm fine with that but Janet...
- Aunt Theresa, his wife...
-
She loves you so much
-
I know what he means
what is wrong with Janet?
-
- Is Janet ugly, Matilda?
- It's not the right time, Paul
-
Suppose someone sees you there
what would be the use then?
-
Qaba Market
-
George Jewellery
-
- God help us, God help us
- What? What's wrong?
-
- Janet
- Who's Janet?
-
- William Shahata's daughter
- Right, William Shahata's daughter
-
- She's so nice
- What? Al-Minyah is better
-
Come on, don't worry, come on
-
- God help me
- Janet is beautiful
-
You're fleeing from
people wanting to kill you
-
- What does that have to do with me?
- But Janet is so beautiful
-
Welcome, welcome, it's a great
honor, welcome, welcome...
-
- Welcome, welcome, Mr. Hassan
- I missed you, Theresa
-
Welcome, Mrs. Zinat
how are you, Imad?
-
- Quickly, the bags of the Hajji
- Okay
-
Come in, come in, it's an honor, Hajji
-
Come in, come in
welcome, welcome, welcome...
-
Welcome, welcome
come in, come in...
-
- Who are those, Hani?
- New residents in the building
-
- Uncle William is calling him Hajji
- Hajji?
-
Don't make mistakes, William, don't
let anything slip or we'll get in trouble
-
Nobody in the building
should know a thing, please
-
Don't worry, don't worry, brother Paul
-
- George? Come in
- Come in
-
Come in, come in, come, come...
-
Come in, Hajji, come in
-
- Welcome
- This is our new neighbor
-
- Hajji Hassan al-Attar
- Who?
-
- Hassan al-Attar
- Nice meeting you, Mr. Hassan
-
I am Marcos Abdel-Shahid
if you need anything, just ask me
-
- God bless you, Mr. Marcos
- You honored the building, Mr. Hassan
-
- You're so kind, Mr. Marcos
- Fine, go in
-
- Go in
- Go in
-
- No, go in
- Go in
-
- Please, you go in
- Get in, Hajji Hassan
-
It's not right to leave the man...
-
You're going to do that
all day or what? Go in, Marcos
-
- Come in, come in, Hajji
- Come in
-
Come in, welcome, welcome, come in
-
Come on, my dear Paul
this is your place
-
You see? You see how nice
and clear the apartment is?
-
Janet sweeps and wipes it every week
-
This is the apartment
where she'll get married
-
Hope so, Theresa
-
Come on, George, take the bag
to your room and unpack it
-
Come on, dear
-
Believe me, George, dad was so happy
when he knew you're staying with us
-
It seems your father
will get us in trouble
-
By the way, George
the beard fits you so much
-
I'm shaving it off now
-
Did you hear the last
tape of Tamir Husani?
-
Where could I among
all the troubles we're in?
-
- Are you stupid or something?
- What is wrong, George? You seem upset
-
Upset? My father is in danger
and we left our house
-
What do you want me to do? Dance?
-
Get out
-
This Marcos Abdel-Shahid living
next to me, what does he do, William?
-
I don't know but he asked
to lease the shop downstairs
-
He wants to start a business
he's been in America for 20 years
-
He returned less
then two months ago
-
He seems to be a good and pious guy
-
Mr. Paul, since he came here
-
we've never seen him, his wife
or his daughter, go to church
-
Maybe he does not know
ask the church to check on him
-
enlighten and tell him
what to do exactly
-
Many Christians have the religion
in their heart but they don't know the way
-
This is great, Zinab, Sheikh Hassan
al-Attar is going to live next to us
-
I've heard about him
he's a very pious and religious man
-
And he's full of faith
and a major Islamic figure
-
Zinab, he's the most famous religious
Islamic propagandist in the Sa'id
-
But William, the owner of the house
only lease the house to Christians
-
How can he take
Sheikh Hassan al-Attar in?
-
Guys, guys, this man
made me a favor 15 years ago
-
His house fell and he asked me
to help him with his wife and son
-
Should I leave him in the street?
No, I'm not ungrateful
-
I asked you for that apartment
William, but you didn't give to me
-
However, you gave it
to Hassan al-Attar
-
You don't give it to a Christian
like you but to a Muslim
-
This is Janet's apartment, George
and he's not going to stay forever
-
In a few months, his matters
will be settled and he'll leave
-
- Where to, Hani?
- Mary...
-
Good day, Mary
-
How are you, Hani?
And who is uncle George?
-
- We're fine, I wanted to...
- What is it, Hani?
-
- Will you accept this?
- What is this?
-
I noticed you weren't wearing
a cross so I thought of offering you one
-
- No, Hani, I...
- This is a gift, it's free
-
I'm not used to take gifts from anybody
-
- You want to refuse my gift?
- Sorry, Hani
-
- Good evening
- Good evening
-
Dad, it seems someone
leased the next apartment, right?
-
- Yes, Sheikh Hassan al-Attar
- What? Hassan al-Attar?
-
How can that happen?
There must be something wrong
-
Enough now, your mother
is reading the Koran
-
Come on, get inside, get inside
-
- Good evening, Mr. Marcos
- Good evening
-
I am Father Peter Hanna
priest of the Saint George Church
-
- And those are priests in the church
- Welcome
-
- We came to talk to you
- Come in, come in
-
It's a honor, it's a honor
have a seat, have a seat
-
Actually, William said you
were in America, welcome back
-
Thank you
-
So we decided to come check
on you, meet you and pray for you
-
God willing, you'll join us
in a trip organized by the church
-
We will visit the Mary's Monastery
get the blessing of Father Musa al-Aswad
-
We'll get to the Syriac Mary's monastery
and Saint George's church
-
- And hopefully, you'll pray with us
- I've just came back, Father
-
I've yet to settle my things
-
When was the last time
you take Communion?
-
- Actually, I've never took it
- How is that?
-
What do you mean? I didn't
eat anything since this morning
-
- When was the last time you confessed?
- Confess what? I'm an honest man
-
Obviously, Mr. Marcos, you were
living a worldly life in America
-
You neglected your God
and your religion
-
Yes, yes, actually, the busy
live abroad distract the person
-
Therefore, we came
to give you a blessing prayer
-
We'll bless your house
your wife and your children
-
- Peace be upon you
- Peace be upon you
-
Excuse us, Mr. Hassan
we came here without previous notice
-
What for? Come in
-
Come in, have a seat
-
We're neighbors
living in the same block
-
And the Prophet (PBUH) commanded
us to take care of our neighbors
-
- Thank you
- Especially in your current condition
-
- What do you mean?
- You're Muslim...
-
living in a building
with Christian residents only
-
We don't want you to feel alone
we're with you, we're your people
-
But I haven't complained
-
William Shahata is good man
and he's an old acquaintance
-
Fine but for the Muslims'
blessing to get in your house
-
we need to read
you some verses and prayers
-
protecting you from the evil of earth
heaven and the enemies of Islam
-
I've get back to the shop now
the Sheikhs will do, goodbye
-
Allow us to continue this holy day
and all our days peacefully in your fear
-
God, pray, bless and care for our Prophet
Muhammad among the ancients
-
Amen
-
Because you gave us the authority
to step on snakes, scorpions and enemies
-
Pray and bless our Prophet Muhammad
-
in the exalted assembly forever
-
Amen
-
God, have mercy upon us
because you are Merciful
-
Amen
-
And don't torment up
because you are Capable
-
God, we ask you the best
of matters and prayers, God
-
God
-
...the best of life and death
and give us reason, God
-
God
-
...God
- God
-
...God
- God
-
Our Father in heaven
hallowed be your name
-
your kingdom come, your will
be done on earth as in heaven
-
Give us today our daily bread
-
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those...
-
- How are you, Mrs.?
- Welcome, welcome, Mr. Marcos
-
Come in
-
- Come in
- I want to talk to Sheikh Hassan, please
-
- Peace be upon you, peace be upon you
- May God accept your prayer, Sheikh
-
Welcome, welcome, Mr. Marcos
welcome, come in, come in
-
Have a sit, Mr. Marcos
welcome, it's an honor
-
Sheikh Hassan, the first moment
I saw you, I knew who you were
-
and why you're here
-
- Don't worry, I won't say anything
- I had to do it, dear Marcos
-
I feel for you, you were in danger
and the police forced you to leave
-
Demonstrations in Al-Minyah calling
for the return of Hassan al-Attar
-
- Am I right?
- Right, Marcos
-
- Right
- You are a good Christian, Marcos
-
Tea, Um Imad
-
Aren't you fasting
Sheikh Hassan? It's mid Sha'ban
-
Yes, mid Sha'ban, of course
I am fasting, what do you think?
-
- The tea is for you, Marcos
- Both cups?
-
Yes, this is our custom
we offer our guest two cups
-
One with extra sugar
and the other with no sugar
-
- Go ahead and drink
- No, no...
-
- Tea raises my blood pressure, please
- Fine, juice, Um Imad
-
No, no, no, juice raises my blood sugar
-
- Water, Um Imad
- No, no, my stomach is upset
-
Leave till after sunset
I will come eat with you, goodbye
-
Goodbye
-
- Marcos is a good Christian
- Do something for your son
-
- What is the matter?
- He sleeps till the afternoon everyday
-
He'll waste his future, here
ask general Mukhtar to do something
-
He'll move him to Cairo's university
for him not to miss this year
-
TNT bomb, very explosive
-
- Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar!
- What is it, Fawzi?
-
A phone call for you
sir, he says it's urgent
-
- What? It's not the right time
- His name is Hassan al-Attar
-
- Who is Hassan al-Attar?
- Yes, Mr. Hassan
-
Tell him we want to move my son George
who is Imad... to Cairo's university
-
- Let me talk to him, please
- Okay, fine
-
- He is insisting, sir
- Yes
-
Ask him how the boy will go
to college, we're back to Cairo
-
- We left Al-Minyah
- Yes
-
- We must find a solution
- Okay
-
Let him go meet the dean on Sunday
he'll find his papers there
-
He'll go to the dean and present
himself as Imad or George?
-
Because there is a difference, if there
are exams and George doesn't have them
-
And Imad does and succeeds
then it will be as if we've done nothing
-
I know that Imad is George
and George is Imad
-
Listen to me
where are you talking from?
-
Let him attend the courses in whatever
name and I'll handle everything
-
Sorry for bothering you
-
For your information, I don't call
because I know you're so busy
-
Enough, Mr. Paul
hear me! I said enough!
-
But I thought of calling now because
you might be free and could help me
-
- Let me talk to him
- My wife wants to talk to you
-
Yes, yes... fine
don't worry, rest assured!
-
Our son woke up
sir, he's sleeping all day long
-
- Here, thank general Mukhtar
- Enough, enough
-
Brother Paul, understand, I said enough
-
I swear I will do everything you want
-
- Hey, George
- Who is this?
-
- Who is this?
- Don't worry dear
-
Don't worry, everything will be alright
-
Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar!
-
Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar!
Mr. Mukhtar! Congratulations
-
The bomb has successively
exploded and we're all fine
-
It's just that we cannot find
the head of the bomb's expert
-
Mary, you are Mary
Mr. Marcos's daughter, right?
-
- And you Imad, right?
- Right
-
- Come and sit in my please
- No, don't bother
-
No, sit down
-
- It's English literature, right?
- Yes, how did you know?
-
- My dad told me
- And you, pharmacy, right?
-
- Actually, dad told me too
- Fathers, these days, talk much
-
Here, I photocopied
all the papers you missed
-
- Thank you very much, Ahmad
- Don't worry, you're my friend
-
Anyway, there are a lot of papers
but not a mood for studying
-
- As you say
- Ahmad...
-
- How are you?
- Hey, Nancy
-
- What's up?
- I'll introduce you
-
Imad Hassan al-Attar, he moved
here from the university of Ain Shams
-
Welcome, nice to meet you
-
Nice to meet you too
-
Call the Church to send you some
money, they know your condition
-
The money goes to people
that need it, they deserve it more
-
And I also can't take money
that I've not worked for
-
Then what? What will we do, Paul?
-
My God punish the person
responsible for this mess
-
I'll work, Matilda, I'll do anything
working is not a shame
-
Here, Paul, sell those
-
Who can wear gold
in these circumstances?
-
You know, George, I leased the shop
next to yours from William Shahata
-
and in order to get everything
ready and open it, I need money
-
You should tell me you need money
I would give you some
-
- At least, we'll be partners
- Actually, I don't like partnership
-
As you want, do as you like
-
- How much is the gram of gold today?
- 195
-
- Isn't that too cheap?
- Believe me, Marcus...
-
This is a special price for you
-
God knows
I did not count the factory bill
-
- What is that? A Koran?
- Koran?
-
Oh, yes, I took it as a debt payment
-
- Good day
- Welcome, Sheikh Hassan, go ahead
-
- What can I do for you, Sheikh Hassan?
- I want to sell these gold pieces
-
- Fine, after I finish with Mr. Marcos
- Absolutely not, Sheikh Hassan first
-
- I have nothing else to do
- You can't do that, Marcos
-
Let me see what you have
-
- What is this, Sheikh Hassan? A cross?
- Yes, a cross, it was a debt payment
-
- How much is the gram of gold today?
- 155
-
I've counted the factory bill
-
- What is it?
- Don't interfere, Imad
-
You've something going on with Nancy?
-
We loved each other since first year
-
Since first year? How can you?
Isn't she a Christian and you a Muslim?
-
- Yes
- Yes, what? This is forbidden
-
- I mean, how will this end?
- With marriage, hopefully, pray for me
-
Listen to me, what prayer or marriage?
God cannot accept that, Ahmad
-
You got to hell while I am standing here
our religion allows that, Imad
-
No, religion would never allow that
-
How can she do something like that?
Did she lose her mind or what?
-
You think her parents
or the Church will accept this?
-
The Copts would make a fuss
-
God, I fasted for you and
with your food, I break my fast
-
May God accept your fasting, Mahmud
-
Dad, isn't it enough to fast all
Ramadan and half of Sha'ban?
-
You want to fast Monday and
Thursday too? You can't do all that
-
"Fast, you'll be sound", Fatma
do you think I am old now or what?
-
If we were in different circumstances
I would have married again
-
- Good evening, Mr. Marcos
- Welcome, welcome
-
How are you, Mr. William?
Nice to see you, Sheikh Hassan
-
What a nice surprise, come in
-
Come in, Sheikh Hassan
-
You didn't have lunch yet, Mr. Marcos?
-
- Come and join me
- Thank you
-
I am fasting, Marcos
you know, it's the Lent
-
- You, Sheikh Hassan?
- No, I will eat with my family
-
I'll eat with the sunset
-
May God accept your fasting
Sheikh Hassan
-
- Come in...
- Come in
-
Listen, Marcos, I noticed
since you took the shop on lease
-
- You didn't do anything with it
- It's a rough time, Mr. William
-
Why? If you need money
that can be settled
-
- We'll find you a partner
- George, the jeweler...
-
He talked to me
about this and I said "no"
-
What George? I brought you another
partner, your neighbor, this good man
-
- Sheikh Hassan
- With your consent, Marcos, of course
-
This is great, will I ever find
someone better than you?
-
And it is my honor too, Marcos
-
Put your hands together
my God bless you
-
Our Father in heaven
hallowed be your name
-
Master of the day of judgment, we worship
you and seek your aid and thine aid
-
Forgive us our sins as we
forgive those who sin against us
-
Loyalty Bakery, Hassan and Marcos
-
Come on, here you go, come...
-
Move away, move away... move away
-
- Hi, Rizq, good morning, Rizq
- Listen to me, Badawi
-
Just leave me alone, I've been upset
since yesterday and I can't take anything
-
Man, the owners of the bakery
are so good with you
-
You spend your day making dough
-
Why all this talk?
Where is this goodness?
-
Man, your uncle Marcos is enough
-
Even if you did something very wrong
he'll keep you in, you are both Christians
-
Marcos? What if I tell you that
everyday Marcos throws me out
-
and Sheikh Hassan brings me back?
-
Really?
-
Good morning
-
- Marcos, good morning, Mr. Marcos
- Good morning, George
-
If you needed a partner in the
bakery, why didn't you ask me
-
- Instead off Hassan al-Attar?
- What is wrong with Hassan al-Attar?
-
How can you trust him? You leave
the Christian, one of your confession
-
- And become the partner of a Muslim?
- Mind your own business, George
-
I do but I've warned you
watch out for him, Marcos
-
Sheikh Hassan, Sheikh Hassan...
-
You couldn't find someone but Marcos
to be your partner? He's Christian
-
Find out how much he paid and
give it to him and I'll be your partner
-
for God to bless
the money you'll earn
-
Are we dealing with forbidden things
Sheikh Mustafa? It's bread
-
- Is it a beer bakery what we opened?
- It's your decision, I warned you
-
Watch out for him
-
I'm so confused, Badawi, there's something
strange happening daily before me
-
What?
-
I don't know of Marcos
is a Muslim or a Christian
-
Are you stupid? His name is Marcos
what will he be? Nigerian?
-
Everyday, he reads over the dough
I hear Koran verses...
-
Uncle Marcos citing Koran verses
you must have lost it
-
Because you are upset with him
you want to make him a Muslim?
-
- The other trouble is Sheikh Hassan
- What is with him too? He's a Jew?
-
I entered once and saw him making
the sign of the cross over the dough
-
When he saw me
he pretended to wipe his sweat
-
You're in a really bad shape
you should stop the pills you're taking
-
You can't distinguish between
the Koran and the Cross
-
- Good day, Marcos
- Welcome, George
-
Come in, come in
-
How are you, uncle?
-
Excuse us for coming without previous
notice but we think we're family
-
This is your house, George
why did you bother? Come in
-
We did not congratulate
you for the bakery
-
- We're not treating you right, Marcos
- Don't say that, George
-
- How are you Hani?
- How are you, uncle?
-
- God, we want to see him married
- Actually, we came today for that
-
Mr. Marcos, I am honored to ask
your daughter Mary's hand in marriage
-
- What? My daughter?
- I know she's still in college
-
It'll just be an engagement and Hani
will wait till she finishes her studies
-
- What engagement?
- Calm down, Marcos
-
It's just an engagement, they will wear
rings and the girl will take her dowry
-
Two weeks later, we will have
a half ceremony in the church
-
Afterwards, Hani will wait for her
and she can take her time till she finishes
-
- Then they will marry in church
- Not half, quarter nor engagement
-
- My daughter will not married now
- Why are you doing this, Marcos?
-
- What is wrong with my son, Hani?
- It's not possible, it's not, George
-
Don't even think about it!
-
What is the matter, people? Why are
you shouting? Why all this shouting for?
-
Sheikh Hassan, Mr. Hani came
asking my daughter's hand in marriage
-
- My daughter
- What is wrong with that, Marcos?
-
We came to you directly, man
-
If you want the girl to finish her studies
why don't you have an engagement?
-
- It's that engagement once again!
- I don't know why he's doing that
-
Leave it to me, George
Marcos isn't alright these days
-
- The issues of the bakery are endless
- Thank you very much, thank you
-
- Let's go, Hani
- You'll take those with you
-
Yes
-
What did the man say? He wants
to have an engagement in church
-
- What engagement, Sheikh Hassan?
- I don't know why you're upset, Marcos
-
I've never seen anybody like him before
I thank God that this didn't happen
-
How can we think of being
related by marriage to him?
-
I know why he did it dad...
-
The girl is in relation
she has someone in mind
-
If there was somebody else
her father would have told us
-
- But he refused immediately
- He cannot say
-
Why is that?
-
Because she loves Imad
Sheikh Hassan's son
-
Imad, Sheikh Hassan's son?
But she's Christian and he's Muslim
-
Have you lost it?
-
When uncle Marcos wanted a partner?
Who did he choose?
-
Didn't he choose Sheikh
Hassan over you, dad?
-
What you are saying in very serious
Hani, don't inflame the matter
-
Fine but time will prove me right
-
- Come on, George
- I'm ready, dad
-
- I want to go with you to the Mass
- Stay here, Matilda
-
Me and George will pray for you
-
I can't hear the call
for prayer from here, Zinab
-
Pray here at home and God
will accept your prayer, Mahmud
-
I miss praying in the Mosque
and especially the morning prayer
-
Don't let anybody see you
Paul, God bless you
-
Don't let anybody see you
getting in the mosque
-
God is the helper, Zinab
-
- Good morning, Marcos
- How are you, Sheikh Hassan?
-
- Where are you going this early?
- To pray
-
- So are we
- Go ahead then
-
- Go ahead
- You go ahead
-
Go ahead, go ahead
-
- Where will pray, Sheikh Hassan?
- In the mosque
-
- Yes, in which one?
- I don't know, I'm still new here
-
- Don't you know where the mosque is?
- To the left at the end of this street
-
- Fine, right, facing the church?
- Yes
-
So we're going the same way
-
- Go ahead
- Go ahead
-
- Go ahead, Sheikh Hassan
- Go ahead, Marcos
-
- No, you go ahead
- Go ahead
-
- Go ahead, Sheikh Hassan
- Go ahead
-
- Go ahead, Sheik Hassan
- You go ahead, we'll see each other
-
- Let's go
- Where?
-
Come on
-
- Go ahead, Sheikh Hassan
- Go ahead
-
- Go ahead
- Go ahead, go ahead, Marcos
-
Go ahead
-
And nearest among them
in love to the believers
-
those who say, we're Christians
-
because amongst
there are priests and monks
-
and they are not arrogant
-
Allah is great
-
May God hear who praises
-
- God, guide us
- Amen
-
- Give us health
- Amen
-
- Take care of us
- Amen
-
- Bless what you've given us

-
- Establish our ethics
- Amen
-
- Help us to defeat the unbelievers
- Amen
-
God of everywhere, master of everywhere
who can't be contained anywhere
-
Don't let down our
defeated and humble hearts
-
- Be merciful upon us, forgive our sins
- Amen
-
For God to be merciful and tender
with us, to show his face upon us
-
and bless us with prayers and
implorations bore by our Saint Mary
-
Leave in peace
God's peace is upon you
-
And upon you
-
God, bring our hearts closer, settle
our enmity, guide us to peaceful ways
-
and save us of the darkness, God
-
Listen, Sheikh Hassan
I have a question to ask you
-
- Go ahead, Marcos
- Suppose you're Christian just like me
-
- What?
- Supposedly, I mean
-
And the circumstances made pray in
the mosque, do God accept your prayer?
-
Listen, Marcos, you have
a verse in the bible saying
-
"If two or three people gather
in my name, I'll be in the middle"
-
This means God is everywhere
God is in our heart, Marcos
-
It's a great movie, listen to me
can we go see it from 3 to 6?
-
I've already made arrangement
with Ahmad and Nancy
-
Fine, I'll finish this
course and meet you
-
Fine
-
- Bye
- Bye
-
Peace on you...
-

Al-lkhlass bakery, Hassan and Marcos
-
Who is in charge here?
-
- Me
- Me
-
Close this bakery and seal it
and bring me the manager
-
Who is the manager?
-
- Me
- Me
-
- I'm the manager, sir
- I'm in charge
-
Don't fight over it, it's a lawsuit
with a fine, prison and everything
-
Arrest them
-
- Go ahead, Sheikh Hassan, no please
- Go ahead
-
Go ahead, come on, go ahead
all of you, we will all got together
-
Hello, please, is Mukhtar there?
-
Mukhtar? General Mukhtar
-
Tell him it's Hassan...
Hassan, Hassan al-Attar
-
This is not a life, Mukhtar
I don't feel like a married woman
-
It's all work for you, you're either
in a mission, meeting or in the ministry
-
Enough, enough, Amina
we're out eating together
-
- Mukhtar, you have another woman
- What?
-
Do I find time for you in the first
place to find time for another?
-
My love, my dear
here I am with you, we're alone
-
My phone is off, my radio is off
and nobody knows where I am
-
Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar!
Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar!
-
Mr. Mukhtar! A phone call for you, sir
-
Didn't I tell I was not available? Who is it?
-
I don't know, sir, one time
he's Hassan, the other he's Paul
-
- As you want
- She's called Paul now, Mukhtar?
-
Amina, please don't
misunderstand me, calm down
-
- Hello, yes, Paul
- We're in the police car
-
Heading towards
the station of Bab el-Faraj
-
I know you're a busy man
and my God help you
-
But I hope you'd call the station
and ask them to release us
-
No, no, no, don't worry
I'll call them, the matter will be over
-
The matter that will be over is us
Mukhtar, I can never be with you again
-
Amina, Amina
wait a minute, Amina, wait
-
Hello
-
- Whom do I say this is?
- Tell him Marcos
-
Marcos Abdel-Shahid, he knows me
-
Amina, listen to me, listen to me
you don't understand, let me explain
-
Mr. Mukhtar! Mr. Mukhtar!
Mr. Mukhtar!
-
- What is it?
- Another call for you, sir
-
This time his name is Marcos
but he said to tell you "it's Mahmud"
-
- Mahmud also?
- Amina...
-
Amina, wait
-
Yes, Mr. Marcos, tell Mr. Mahmud
to tell Mr. Paul that the boss is busy now
-
and work it out together
-
Put these two in prison
because they will face the prosecution
-
Yes, sir, as you wish
-
Come on you two
you're going to prison
-
Come on both of you
-
- It's a great movie
- Was it just the movie?
-
What do you mean?
-
I mean it is allowed for you to do
it but not us, is it, Imad or what?
-
- What do you mean?
- Mary
-
- What about her?
- Isn't she Christian too?
-
- She is but, Ahmad...
- Don't say but, congratulations
-
No, Ahmad, no, this is different
-
- Actually, Nancy... what do you want?
- Let's go, Imad
-
Enough both of you!
What? Is it a band or what?
-
You drive me crazy
I can't sleep, I can't sleep
-
I didn't feel anything
-
I was talking to you
when you suddenly fell asleep
-
I had a very strange dream
Sheikh Hassan
-
- What was it?
- I was looking at myself in the mirror
-
and I saw someone else
not me, a stranger
-
All those around me didn't recognize me
I didn't even recognize myself
-
Strange, Marcos
I had the same dream
-
They seem to distribute the same
dream to all the prisoners here
-
It's him not me
-
Hassan and Marcos
the officer wants to see you
-
Enough, enough
don't do this, it's nothing
-
Enough, enough crying
-
"Nothing will happen to us except
what Allah has decreed for us"
-
Don't they say
that in your holy Koran?
-
May God strengthen your faith, Marcos
-
Yes, sir, whatever you say
general, as you wish
-
Hassan and Marcos? Yes, sir, right
-
Hassan and Marcos, you are free to go
-
Where were you and where was I
and where did you come from?
-
Where were these days?
-
Where were you and where was I
and where did you come from?
-
Where were these days?
-
One look and she took my heart
-
She is so beautifull
that I wished I had two hearts
-
Where were you? Where were you?
-
I chose Al-Fishawi restaurant
because this is my favorite place
-
Actually, my dear Marcos
our stay in prison was the best time ever
-
No, no, may that never
happens again, Sheikh Hassan
-
- It was a nightmare
- We're here to celebrate your release
-
Let's stop talking about it
-
George, my dear, how are you, man?
I missed you so much
-
- Take care of this
- What?
-
- Take care of this
- Who is this?
-
- This
- Yes, who is George?
-
What is it, George?
You don't want to talk to me?
-
- You're looking the other side?
- Who is George?
-
I'm telling you, this is not George
-
- What is it, George?
- He told you, I'm not George
-
- How can that be?
- It's like that
-
You want him to be George
by force? It's for sure
-
- Come on, leave
- He's George
-
- Come on, leave
- He's...
-
Strange, people
are becoming awkward
-
A man on the street sees another man and
thinks he looks like somebody he knows
-
He rushes towards him
takes him in his arms
-
and starts asking about Shawqi, Khalil
Ibrahim, Shawqi al-Sukari and that...
-
all day long, he doesn't
let him go, this happens a lot
-
It happened to me once, I was walking
and suddenly a man comes hugging me
-
He was sweating with an ugly smell
"how are you? What's up?"
-
"How is Al-Sukari?"
It's that Al-Sukari again
-
You don't know what his story is
"How is this and how is that?"
-
His was stinking, so I told him
"you're confusing me with someone else"
-
- Paul, Paul, my dear
- Who is Paul? I'm not Paul
-
You see? I was just telling you
-
- How are you, brother Paul?
- I'm not Paul, sir
-
- Isn't that brother Paul?
- I'm not talking to him
-
- Why?
- Because of things
-
- How are you, brother Paul?
- I told you, I'm not Paul
-
I'm not Paul, is it by force?
-
- I'm not Paul
- Not Paul? He's Paul
-
And the other is George
-
No, no, no, no, I swear, God Almighty
loves me so much, Sheikh Hassan?
-
- Give me a hug, Sheikh Bilal
- My dear
-
- Come, Sheikh Bilal
- My dear
-
- My dear Sheikh Hassan
- How are you, Sheikh Bilal?
-
How could leave the town suddenly
like this without saying goodbye?
-
- How are you, Imad?
- How are you, Sheikh Bilal?
-
Welcome all of you
how are you, Um Imad?
-
- Nice to see you, Sheikh Bilal
- I swear to God, Sheikh Hassan
-
Since you left town, it became
deserted and people are sad
-
So I decided to visit our Lord Husayn's
sanctuary for God may bring us together
-
And this is what happened
-
I'll leave you for 5 minutes
with this good man, Sheikh Hassan?
-
- Where are you going?
- I'll visit a dear friend of mine
-
It's been a long time
and I miss him so much
-
Who is this good man?
-
My brother, friend
and dear Marcos Abdel-Shahid
-
- Marcos?
- Yes, Marcos
-
In the name of God
Most Beneficent, Most Merciful
-
Praise be to God, the Lord of the Universe
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
-
Master of Judgment Day, you alone we
worship and you alone we ask for help
-
Guide us to the straight path. The path
of those whom you have favoured
-
not of those who have deserved
your anger, nor of those who stray
-
Amen
-
God almighty, you see? You see, Um Islam
how Sheikh Hassan is full of blessing?
-
He made Marcos the Christian enter
the sanctuary of our Lord Husayn
-
and read Al-Fatiha
you see his strength and power
-
This is it, you seem uncle William?
You see it all of you?
-
You see it, dad? You should have
believed me, you should all believe me
-
I'm not wrongly accusing anybody
they go out together all the time
-
- And fooling all of us
- Don't say that, Hani
-
Nobody says a word about Mr. Hassan
and his son, they are above suspicions
-
This man called Hassan al-Attar
must leave the building, William
-
- He's corrupted
- I can't do that, people
-
He's done me a lot of good
-
You will throw his furniture
out and he'll leave the building
-
Whose furniture you'll throw out?
Who will you throw him out, George?
-
- Mind your business, Sheikh Mustafa
- How can I?
-
Am I not a resident of this street?
Touch Sheikh Hassan and you'll die
-
What? You think you bought us?
-
Sheikh Hassan will stay
in the building in spite of you all
-
- Watch your language, uncle Mustafa
- Shut up, you kid
-
When the adults talk
the children shut up
-
- You are an indecent man
- Me? You dirty little rat
-
- Come here!
- This is not right, people
-
Here they are
-
Here they are, together before you
people, they are friendly with each other
-
The entire street is inflamed
and they went out together
-
Gather your things
and leave, Mr. Hassan
-
In what capacity are you talking, George?
I'm not living in your apartment?
-
This is not right, George
this is not right, people
-
Sheikh Hassan, go to your apartment
and if anybody harasses you...
-
What is the matter, people?
What happened?
-
- Ask your daughter, uncle Marcos
- What's with my daughter, Hani?
-
What's with her?
-
She refuses my son who asked her
hand in marriage and loves a Muslim?
-
Shut your mouth
don't talk about my daughter!
-
- Take your hands off me!
- Take you hands off!
-
People, people, this is wrong
-
My son!
-
No!
-
- Thank God he's good
- Thank you
-
Thank you, doctor
-
We've almost lost him, he kept
on bleeding and his blood type is rare
-
if not for Mr. Marcos
who has the same blood type
-
- Marcos, I'll never forget this favor
- Imad is like my son, Sheikh Hassan
-
- Will we keep moving forever, Paul?
- No use, Matilda
-
We can't stay here
after what happened
-
We must thank God for saving our son
I'm only sorry for the good man Marcos
-
What did he do? He saves our son
and we soil his daughter's reputation
-
I'll miss Um Mary
I love her like a sister
-
It's George, the jeweler
and his son's fault
-
They inflamed the matter
and made a fuss of it
-
So we'll leave without
even saying goodbye?
-
I'll miss Um Imad so much, I swear
Mahmud, she's the best neighbor ever
-
It's all the fault of the Sunni
Mustafa, owner of the supermarket
-
What did Sheikh Hassan do, Zinab?
He's a good and pious man
-
They want to throw him and his
family out, they almost killed his son
-
His only son
-
- Where will we go, Sheikh Hassan?
- I don't know, Marcos
-
Our destiny seems to be one
-
God's land is so vast
God never forget his servants
-
Call general Mukhtar
and let him handle this
-
I called him, Zinab
he's not answering
-
- What is it, dear?
- It's the happiest time of my life
-
How can that be?
-
Because we left Janet
William shahata's daughter
-
It's settled, Sheikh Hassan, I talked
to a friend of mine who is a broker
-
He found you an apartment in Muharam
street with two rooms and a hall
-
at 1500 Egyptian pounds per month
-
What about us, Badawi?
Did you find us an apartment?
-
Uncle Marcos, why don't you stay together
the next few days till we find you one?
-
We were lucky to find this one
-
Come on now, taste my mallow
-
and since we're in Alexandria
I made it with shrimps
-
Um Mary's mallow
is a registered trademark
-
You think we can accept that?
Give them your okra, Um Imad
-
Here is the okra
-
My mother is merciless
she makes great okra
-
Please, there is nothing
like my mother's mallow
-
It was the reason I married Um Mary
-
Her father invited me to lunch and once
I reached out my hand to the plate
-
and tasted it, I asked him
"who made this great mallow?"
-
He said, "My daughter" so I said
"You daughter? Let's have an engagement"
-
They were engaged
they were engaged after the mallow
-
- Engagement?
- Yes
-
You're laughing?
You've seen nothing yet
-
I've seen it before
-
Every time I see this movie
I can't stop laughing
-
This man is impossible, he's great
-
Once you see him, you start laughing
without him saying a word even
-
Najib al-Rihani had a great
writer called Badi Khayri
-
- He's Christian
- That's what Al-Rihani thought
-
Badi Khayri's mother died so Najib
al-Rahani went to offer condolences to him
-
He found Koran
and people consoling him
-
He asked him, "What is this, Badi?
Are you a Muslim?"
-
He answered "Yes" so he asked him
"Why didn't you tell me?"
-
He said, "You've never asked me"
those were beautiful days
-
- Najib al-Rihani was Christian?
- Yes
-
Mary, I've never loved anyone
I've always focused on my studies, prayers
-
and my relation with God
-
I've never tried to talk to a girl
-
- I was...
- What is it, Imad? Speak up
-
I love you, Mary, I love you so much
-
You're fine with that?
-
You rejected George's son
because of me
-
Not just because of you
actually, I... I can't marry him
-
Even though he has
more money than me
-
Nobody is better than
you in this entire world
-
- Imad, I need to tell you something
- No, I need to tell you something
-
And you'll be so happy when
you know it, my name is not Imad
-
My name is George
I'm a Christian like you, Mary
-
- What is it, Mary?
- This is horrible!
-
This is forbidden
-
My name is Fatma
I am a Muslim... a Muslim
-
Listen, Paul, we cannot stay
with these people another night
-
- Eat Matilda
- Eat, Zinab
-
I can't, I can't take it anymore
-
I can't live in this house, you have
to find us an apartment quickly
-
Those people were good to us
we spent together the best times of our life
-
Why did we become enemies?
-
Where is the friendless?
What happened?
-
If the names changed
should the feeling be different too?
-
- It's not our fault
- It's not their fault either
-
- They didn't tell us the truth
- We didn't tell them either
-
We did not say the truth
-
Where is safety?
Where is safety in the country?
-
If I can't guarantee the safety
of my house, honor or money?
-
They say our women
and money are a gain
-
Muslims, if a Muslim worker
works in a Christian house
-
the wage they give him is forbidden
and his property is also forbidden
-
Actually, they hate us
you are still young and know nothing
-
No, mom, you are wrong for once
we loved these people and they loved us too
-
They loved us because they
thought we were Muslims like them
-
They thought we were
Christians like them
-
When they knew we were Muslims
they've shown the other face
-
Shut up, shut up
I know why you are saying this
-
I wish we've never met them
-
God said, "whoever slaps you on your
right cheek, turn the other to him also"
-
But not while you're weak
but while you are strong
-
Long live the Cross! Long live...
-
And you must show
him that you can retaliate
-
- Long live...
- We break his hands first
-
- Long live the Cross!
- And then turn the other cheek
-
Don't let your children be friend with them
play with them nor eat with them
-
This is forbidden, forbidden, forbidden
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- If you have a Christian neighbor...
-
And he's celebrating a holiday
it's forbidden you go visit him
-
And felicitate him for a holiday
that our religion does not acknowledge
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- To smile in their faces is forbidden
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- Saluting them is forbidden!
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- Long live the Cross!
-
- Long live the Cross!
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- Long live the Cross!
-
- Long live...
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- Long live the Cross!
-
I wish we've never met them
I wish we've never did
-
We must leave
this house immediately!
-
George, go find a car
to take us back to Cairo
-
I'll go back to my house in Abassiah
and I don't care what happens
-
Come on!
-
- Why not wait till the morning, mom?
- No, not in the morning, now
-
Find us a car to take back
to Egypt and I don't care what happens
-
Allah is great! Allah is great!
Allah is great! Allah is great!
-
Long live the Cross!
Long live the Cross!
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- Long live the Cross!
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- Long live the Cross!
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- Long live the Cross!
-
- Allah is great! Allah is great...
- Long live the Cross!
-
Dad!
-
Open the door!
-
Come on, Paul, fire is everywhere!
-
Dad!
-
- Dad!
- Help!
-
My daughter? My wife?
-
- What is it? Where is Dad?
- Inside, George, inside!
-
God...
-
Be merciful upon us, God
