that our girls are too modern.

They may want to go out for a while

and find out things for themselves.

But I think our girls always find it

best to stay at home in the end.

Doesn't Amina

work anymore then?

Only now and then.

- But what about the caf--

- Why isn't anybody eating?

Things have been so busy

at the garage lately.

I don't have time to stop

for one minute.

Sometimes I wish

Amina was helping me again.

And how many children

would you like, Amina?

Oh, I don't know... I suppose

two or three would be nice.

Do you want only boys?

What would make you think

I'd want boys at all?

What a rubbish!

Everybody wants a boy.

Everybody!

Well, I'm not everybody.

And I wouldn't care

if I had a boy or a girl

as long as the child was

healthy and happy.

Nothing else really matters, does it?

I think she's right.

I think it's time for desert.

We're going to Cape Town

on the weekend.

All of us?

Do you remember

when this came?

Two weeks ago.

It's from my sister, Rehmat.

The one in Paris?

Who told you that?

Farah.

She's coming with her husband.

I'm going to go to sleep.

You watch the shop.

Farah, come and help me here!

They'll be here

any minute now.

And you know

how particular Omar is.

Not as much

as he likes to think.

They're here!

I'm cooking!

Well, where is she?

She's gone to the hotel

to meet James.

That's a stupid thing to do.

Are they trying to get caught?

They shouldn't even be here.

- He's father's dying.

- So what?!

He'll be dead in a week and

they'll be in jail.

Do they think

the police care?

Which hotel is he staying at?

At "The Royal".

If you can believe it.

I don't know who they

think they are.

And this is my other

sister-in-law.

This is Miriam.

Hello.

It took me a while

to get used to it.

Paris must be such a nightmare

to get used to.

I meant that it

wasn't home, at first,

for either of us.

But then I realised that

there were no gossiping neighbours,

no list of rules,

no need to stay home

if I wanted to work.

We were very sorry to hear

about your father's illness.

He gave us

his blessing, finally.

I suppose death can give you

a different perspective

on what's important.

And now eating here

with all of you and

at the time

that seemed impossible.

Aren't you afraid?

Of what could happen

if you get caught?

My husband is an idealist.

We have no time for idealists

these days.

We have to be practical.

Get what we can

whenever we can.

You know, my husband and you,

you could be twins.

We are twins.

Why couldn't you tell me?

Men never tell you anything.

Miriam, why don't we

get my brother

to take us

to the "Location Caf"?

I used to sneak out and go
