Does she suffer from migraines?

No.

- Memory loss?

- No.

Loss of balance?

No.

Absent-minded?

She's always absent.

No, she was never absent.

Wahab, come.

Just get out of my sister's way.

Son of refugees, where do you

think you're going?

Nicolas, stop!

Go back to your country.

Wahab!

We'll leave your hide

in your camps, believe me.

Give me.

- I want to kill her.

- It's mine to do.

You have sullied the

family honor.

- Enough!

Go home!

Go home!

Outside.

What have you done!

You have humilliated us!

You have sullied the

name of our family!

Why God have you plunged

us in the dark?

My God, what have you done?

Why did you do that?

What will I do with you!

You want me to kill you?

I'm pregnant, grandma.

- My God, everything is black.

Why?

Why have you done this?

Do I have to kill you?

What will I do with you?

Come.

Eat if you want your

child safe.

Listen to me.

There's nothing here for you.

I'll help after the birth.

I want you to go away.

You'll go to live with

your uncle Charbel.

There, you'll go to school.

To learn to read,

to learn to think

out of this misery.

Promise me and I'll help you.

Promise me you'll go to school.

I promise you, grandmother.

I promise.

Shh.

Shh.

Look carefully at your mother.

You'll have to recognize her.

I'll find you one day.

I promise you, my heart.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Come on, it's time

for you to go.

I feel that something terrible

is coming ...

One day I'll find you, my son.

I received a message

from my friend Niv Cohen

but I can't help you

because at the time,

I taught

History of Mathematics

in Paris.

Specifically, the period

where Euler had

succeeded

to give the first

formal mathematical resolution

to the problem of the seven bridges

of Konigsberg, yes.

Diderot defied the Court

saying:

"Gentlemen ..."

I-ft plus

Equals zero.

So, God exists!"

Niv, Niv, Niv ...

Hello! Do you speak French?

- Yes, of course!

- Can I help you?

Uh, yes, I am looking for someone

who would have known this woman.

She studied here maybe

Are you kidding me?

I wasn't even born.

Well, you're in the wrong

place...

I'm not kidding.

I'm sure you know someone

who can help me.

I have come from far away.

Please. Her name is Nawal Marwan.

You are very kind.

I'm not nice, I want

to get rid of you.

Najat, that's me.

You have time to waste?

That tells me something.

She may have worked in the

campus newspaper.

It's been a long time.

People who leave usually

change identities.

It is striking nonetheless.

Your mother was photographed

in Kfar Ryat.

Look here.

This is a sign of Kfar Ryat.

It is a prison in the south.

You do not know Kfar Ryat?
