01
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
He spent the en7re night watching the Russian 
bombing of Aleppo on Al Jazeera Channel


02
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
As usual, He lit one cigarette aCer another


03
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Then he went to sleep and never woke up


04
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
I thought that he stopped watching the news ...


05
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Since he left Syria for Jordan


06
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
he resumed watching the news
even more frequently than before


07
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Now, what are we gonna do ?


08
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
No solution. I don't have a residence card,
so I can't travel to Jordan,


09
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
but you can get a visa easily; 
you could be in Jordan by tomorrow morning


09
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
How can I get the body transferred 
from Jordan to Syria ?


10
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
There is a Syrian military brigade that I trust


11
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
It takes one day : they help you to enter 
and bury the body in Syria, then you leave afterwards


12
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
What brigade are you talking about? 
I trust no one in Syria


13
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Do you really want me to trust 
an armed military brigade ?


14
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
What else can we do ?


15
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Do you want me to enter Syria 
and give up my asylum demande ?


16
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
No, that’s not what I mean .. but I ...


17
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I’ve new responsibilities


18
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
I’m pregnant


19
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Congratulations !


20
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Tomorrow I’m gonna cancel
my asylum demande, 


21
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
get back my Syrian passport, 
and travel to Jordan in order to bury him


22
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
You stay here,


23
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
found a family, 
and live safely and happily ever aCer !


24
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
May you stop talking to us like that ?


25
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Do you find it reasonable
that he would leave for Syria,


26
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
and risk his life when his daughter 
hasn't even been born yet ?


27
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Do you find it reasonable that he abandoned his
mother, father and brother ?


28
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Can we try to find a solution 
instead of talking about the past ?


29
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
You’re right ! Talking about the past 
will open old wounds


30
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Can we focus on the main topic ?


31
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
You're putting a lot of pressure on me !


32
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
It's been 10 years since I last visited 
the Middle East


33
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
How am I supposed to communicate with these people ?


34
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
During these ten years 
I was detained in a single cell,


35
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
and look at us now ! 
we can understand each other


36
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
No, you can't grasp his point nor mine !


37
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Since you arrived in Europe, 
you haven't even accepted to talk to us


38
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
I think we can bury him in Jordan ! 


39
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
We are not obliged to execute his will


40
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
By the way, you promised him 
to execute his will


41
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
when we were 
in the Aaboun demonstration


42
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Right, but that was at 
the beginning of the revolution ...


43
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
12 years ago


44
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Do wills have expiration date ?


44
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
They tell me that ...


45
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
What ?


46
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
They postponed the burial of the body 
for a week,


47
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
and will keep the body in a hospital 
in Irbid, Jordan


48
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Problem of Jordanian documents


49
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Had I known, I wouldn't have come 
and ruined your vaca7on


50
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
No problem, but how did you know 
about our place ?


51
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
- Your neighbor told me.
- Our neighbor ?


52
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000
I asked her to send us a cake
with the name 'An7gone' wriBen on the surface


53
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
I wanted to surprise you


54
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
You’ll name her An7gone ...


55
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Yeah ! it can be pronounced correctly 
by europeans unlike a lot of arabic names


56
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Hello aunt. Yes, I can hear you ... hello ?
Yes, I can hear you now


57
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Did you choose the name : « An7gone » for her ?



58
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Yes


59
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
In 22/6/2006


60
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
we walked, you and me, from Sarouja cafe 
towards Damascus Cinema


61
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
We saw the poster of Adel Imam’s new film 
«The Embassy in the Building »


62
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
You said to me : 
« I invite you to watch this film tomorrow »


63!
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Then we walked to Alhamra theatre,


64
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
where we saw the poster of « Baghdadi Bath » 
a play directed by Jawad Alassadi


65
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
I said to you 
« And I invite you to aBend this play aCer tomorrow »


66
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Then we headed towards Al-Kabbani theatre


67
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
and aBended a play directed by Jihad Saad 
titled « An7gone », 


68
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
it was a great play


69
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Once we got out of theatre,
we went to Aladaoui neighborhood,


70
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
on the way, you took my hand, 
and told me:


71
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,000
that our daughter’s name would be 
« An7gone »


72
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
They told us that you died under torture


73
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000
We asked other people and they confirmed that


74
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
So you decided to marry my brother !


75
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,000
The officer whom I bribed to let me out of jail, 
told me that you died under torture


76
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
He spared me only one week to leave 
the country otherwise he'd arrest me again


77
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,000
When I arrived to Lebanon with your brother, 
the easiest way to get a visa was to apply as a family


78
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
That’s why we signed a marriage contract


79
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
When we arrived here, we had only each other


80
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Stop playing the victim and making us the executioner


81
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
You don’t know what we went through


82
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
I don’t know and I don’t want to


83
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
The truth is that aCer ten years of prison,


84
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000
I found out that my brother 
got married to my girlfriend


85
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000
During these 10 years, the banlieue of Damascus 
was completely destroyed


86
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
All houses and buldings turned to ruines


87
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
People who lost their houses, 
left the country to live in camps


88
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
How dare anyone blame them 
for leaving their homes ?


88
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
That’s exactly what you are doing to me


89
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Stop blaming me, do you understand ?


90
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
No, I don’t want to understand,


91
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
No, I don’t want to understand,


92
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
and you don’t have the right to tell me 
how to think or what to say


93
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,000
You never smoked before. 
Smoking is bad for your health


94
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000
You inherited this habit from Dad


95
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Which one ?


96 
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000
The fresh mint in the glass


97 
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,000
You also love picking mint leaves to eat them


98
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Oh my god!do you know?
I forgot that Dad used to do that too
