I don't know how to deal

with children.

I know nothing about children!

Di you have children in Sri Lanka?

Brothers, sisters?

Two younger brothers.

Did you get along with them?

Yes.

Then, do the same with me.

In January, government forces

were involved

in a small conflict zone,

killing thousands of Tamil civilians.

Independent reporters and

observers were not

allowed to reach the

combat zone.

Rumours circulated that

atrocities were committed.

It was a war without witnesses.

It least, it's what

we initially thought.

We now know that a soldier

had a mobile phone

and today, 8 months later,

his recordings were found.

Come in.

Is there some more left?

It's very good.

Do you understand Chinese now?

I'm sorry.

Take this.

Can you bring some more water?

This is a little too spicy

for the old man.

- How are you, Brahim?

- All right! What about you?

- It's so good to be free, right?

- Of course!

- It's nicer outside, isn't it?

- Yes!

Listen, if you see Tifa,

tell him to come up!

How do you feel living here

with your husband?

You, happy here?

Yes.

Were are you from?

India, Pakistn?

Sri Lanka.

- Where is that?

- Eh...

India, here...

Sri Lanka, eh...

here.

- It's like India.

- No, it's below India.

Forget it.

- Want a drag?

- No.

Looks like your husband is

doing good work. He's doing good.

Thank you.

If you need anything, help

you tell me.

Or if Youssouf is bothering

you too much.

All right.

I'm leaving.

I'll leave this for the meal.

What you cook is very tasty.

Thank you.

Turn it on!

- What?

- Turn it on!

- OK!

- Push the button!

- Done!

Push the button!

Any floor!

Sh*t.

Can I ask you a question?

Do you think people here are funny?

I don't know.

Why?

Sometimes, they say thing and laugh.

I understand all the words

but they don't sound funny.

It has nothing to do with the language.

What is it, then?

It has to do with humor.

French humor?

Just humor.

You're not funny.

Even in Tamil, you're not funny.

Ever?

What?

This, it's OK.

What?

That we talk like this, it's good.

We're not from Pr.

We're from Sermaise, Marcheval.

We get paid by the day.

To hide the junk, protect and secure

the business.

They prefer to hire people from the outside,

that are not connected to those living here.

If you live here and know all the people,

you're likely to talk or hear something.

In the end, they screw you.

But if you're from other parts,

you don't give a sh*t about their lives.

You get your dough and

apply the rules.

You don't relax.

Still, it's a sh*t job.

- Do you want to eat?

- Yes, of course.

Can you serve it here, please?

Yes.

Thanks.

- Are you finished?
