occupation, it's getting difficult.

I need documents and permissions

to cross checkpoints.

I can't get to villages

where I need to pick up orphans.

Near Bethlehem, Ramallah,

Jericho, Nabulus.

Let me try to fix that.

I always thought it was great

the way your family returned

the Christmas tree to the ground.

We always did.

After all, what was the use in

celebrating Christmas if we let it die?

- You never married?

- No.

But I have 2,000 daughters.

The big ones take care of

the small ones, that's my technique.

- Hi, Jamal.

- Hello, Miss Hind.

This baby was left

in the doorway to the mosque.

Thank you.

Eddie, this is Jamal Shahin.

One of our imams of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Nice to meet you. It's a pleasure.

- Please.

- OK. Pleased to meet you.

He helped in this garden too.

- You did a fine job.

- Thank you.

Miss Hind.

You like Hidiyah as a name?

Beautiful.

That's a fine name.

I want my girls to maintain

their Palestinian identity.

I want them to know

where they came from.

And be proud of it.

Those cactuses and stones are beautiful.

They are.

The stones used to be houses.

And the cactus were fences

to separate homes.

This was actually a village.

I know you're busy with the school.

But don't be a stranger and...

uh, write to me?

- Keep me informed.

- I will.

Thank you, Eddie.

I will never forget your help.

We have

to get out of here, come on.

I promise, I can find a job,

I can take care of us.

- What are you doing?

- I'm leaving out of here.

- What are you talking about?

- I'm leaving this sh*t.

You know what I'm talking about.

You know what your husband has been

doing to me all that time.

I didn't know anything,

we can figure this out.

Figure what out?

- Just stop him, because she is next.

- Let her go. Let her go.

B*tch.

- I... beg of you, stay.

- Go, b*tch, go to hell.

Shut up!

- Let her go.

- You could have protected me.

Nadia! Nadia.

Take this. Go.

Hey, beautiful.

Can I buy you a drink?

Huh?

- I don't drink.

- Oh!

Your Hebrew's great.

Where you from?

What are you, stupid?

I don't want to talk to you.

Get lost.

Go sit down or get out.

She your woman?

Out!

Why do you let her dance?

You OK?

Eat something.

I'm not hungry.

What are you staring at?

A whore. An Arab whore.

Sh...

It's OK.

Thank you.

Sh.

It's OK. You'll be OK.

You rest a few days

and then it will pass, OK?

How long have you been drinking?

What makes you think that?

I'm a nurse and you smell like alcohol.

I don't know when I started.

I know why.

My name is Fatima.

- What's yours?

- Nadia.

Where are you from, Nadia?

Jaffa.

And what are you doing here?

Six months for hitting

a woman in the nose.
