in my pocket,

"give them to my daughter. "

She was dying, poor thing.

She said, "The money's

for my daughter", then she died.

What do we get out of it?

The houses, we can rebuild,

but all the lost souls?

They don't come back.

God bless you.

God willing,

you'll find them safe and sound.

You're back?

No, not yet.

I'm looking everywhere in vain.

My sister,

her phone's been dead for a week.

How would you get here?

It's been a nightmare.

You mean, "You want to be

with your son, not with me. "

Well, I have to go. Bye.

That's your "small errand"?

- I've looked for you everywhere...

- Where were you?

- Did you find them?

- Why did you disappear?

What do you want to do?

They told me about a convent,

with refugees.

- Where is that convent?

- In Marjeyoun.

According to the Israeli Army,

Hezbollah fighters launched about

ten rockets today

on Israeli positions in the South.

There are no casualties...

You're singing?

How can you sing and laugh?

I have to get there!

We'll get there, Madam.

- Calm down!

- Hands off!

I'm warning you,

if something's happened to them...

God help you!

We'll get there, Madam,

trust me.

Do you know Marjeyoun?

It's not exactly next door.

I thought we were sticking

to the coast road.

It was clear.

But if we have

to go up to Marjeyoun, why not?

What do you mean?

I know the area well.

I come from there.

Winding roads, potholes...

And the war hasn't improved things.

More petrol, more time...

It's not that simple!

We made a deal for a day.

Yes, for Saida and Tyre.

Not for other places.

I'm telling you in case I need...

to ask for a supplement.

One minute you disappear,

the next you want extra...

- It's going to last long?

- 50 dollars.

No more.

Better safe...

And if we need to go anywhere else?

For that price?

I'll take you to the moon.

The civil defence are recovering

bodies from under the rubble

in the villages of

Sifra and Halloussie.

More than 50 bodies

could still be buried

under the devastation.

Would you care for some music?

I have some Fayrouz,

Wadih Safi or Oum Koulsoum...

I even have some Boney M.

It's good Boney M.

Is it extra?

No, it's part of the package!

Sorry Madam, it's an old cassette.

That's where I'd like to go.

When I get some money.

I have a plan with my brother.

To open an oriental restaurant.

The Germans will love it.

They find our food exotic!

I'll be gone ten minutes, no more.

You'll find me easily.

Ask for Tony,

everybody knows me here.

Tony!

If I lose you,

I won't know where to go.

You're not going to lose me, Madam,

you won't.

They went without warning.

We didn't expect it.

They left.

Right after the ceasefire.
