Free Men Page #3

Synopsis: Paris, occupied France, 1942. Younes, an uneducated Algerian immigrant, ekes out a very modest living on the black market. When the police catches him they set him free provided he infiltrates the Paris Mosque and spies on the rector. Si Kaddour Ben Ghabrit is indeed suspected not only of providing false papers to Jews but of harboring some of them as well. Once within the precincts of the Mosque, Younes proves a poor secret agent, which displeases the police inspector in charge of him. In fact, at the mosque, Younes becomes every day more alert to the great tragedy in progress because of the Nazis. He also develops a deep friendship with a singer named Salim Halali. To his amazement, he discovers that Salim is both Jewish and homosexual...

on behalf of the marshal and France ...

I congratulate you for your role

in our friendship.

Thank you very much, Minister.

To your health. Long live France.

Long live France.

Please be seated.

Excuse me ...

Can I talk in private,

Minister?

Come in.

Please be seated.

Minister ...

What is the meaning of this comedy?

What do you mean?

On the one hand you praise me,

on the other you distrust me.

Explain yourself further, friend.

The agents from the rue Lecomte ...

have sent a spy

to the mosque.

That is unacceptable

and I reget it very much.

It's nothing to do with me.

I'll take it up with the

Minister of the Interior.

Welcome, enjoy your meal.

Younes.

What is it?

What are you doing here? -Food.

Why don't you eat with us?

I have a request.

I need to take someone some documents.

But I can't go out during daylight.

What about at night?

By then it will be too late.

What papers?

False papers for a family

that's in danger.

I don't take risks for strangers.

You're the only one I

can ask. Do it for me.

lmbecile. You work for me.

Stop it. Understand?

The next time I'll have no pity.

Let him go.

Get out.

There's no-one home.

They were taken this morning.

Who are you?

I have something for them.

Are you family?

-No.

Would you like to come in?

Please?

Their parents left them here.

I can't keep them.

What can you do?

Nothing.

I have their papers.

They can't stay.

The police usually come back.

I'm finished if they find them here.

Don't ask me....

Who are these children?

Orphans.

Orphans?

Where are your parents?

What's your name?

Tell me, what's your name?

Sarah Bensoussan.

Sorry, they're not allowed inside.

They have no-one.

Not my problem.

We don't want trouble.

I'm also not a solution.

Take them back.

Off you go.

-What should I do?

Don't bring them back.

They're staying here.

Let them inside.

They are Jewish children.

They are our children.

Excuse me, it's not our business.

I know. That's enough about it.

Well, sir.

Carry on praying.

Come on, guys.

I'm proud of you.

I knew I could count on you.

Enter.

This is Francis.

A colleague from the factory.

We were both in the union.

He supports our fight for freedom.

Nice to meet you, Younes.

And?

You can speak freely. He's my cousin.

Not now, it's dangerous.

We'll talk about it later.

What is it?

A visit. They must go inside.

Come on, guys.

What is it, Sarah?

Nothing.

Major ...

To what do we owe the

honour of your visit?

If you've come ... Thank you.

for your honour, unfortunately I can not ...

-Sir ...

I want to discuss with you ...

in private.

-You can.

What is that?

A memo from the political director ...

Ministry of Police
