Dheepan Page #6

Synopsis: Dheepan is a Tamil freedom fighter, a Tiger. In Sri Lanka, the Civil War is reaching its end, and defeat is near. Dheepan decides to flee, taking with him two strangers - a woman and a little girl - hoping that they will make it easier for him to claim asylum in Europe. Arriving in Paris, the 'family' moves from one temporary home to another until Dheepan finds work as the caretaker of a run-down housing block in the suburbs. He works to build a new life and a real home for his 'wife' and his 'daughter', but the daily violence he confronts quickly reopens his war wounds, and Dheepan is forced to reconnect with his warrior's instincts to protect the people he hopes will become his true family.

When you get hurt, you smile.

Here

if you smile too much

or that you're making fun of them.

How are you?.

The weather is nice today.

It's ideal for a couple.

It's 22 karat gold.

You can appreciate the fine finish.

Don't you remember anything?

It's not the same.

Why not?

Because over there, it was

you shooting?

Whose is this?

How did you get your passport?

What do you think?

What can you do to stop me?

I'll go anyway!

I'll go to England.

I'm the housekeeper.

Wait, can I check your purse?

Don't frisk my wife, please.

Are you fooling around, guys?

Let him go.

She's the housekeepers wife.

Come on, relax.

Stop fussing, I don't give a sh*t

if he's the housekeeper!

- Do your job.

- Let them through.

- I'm gonna f*** up that housekeeper.

- Don't say that.

We're gonna kill you!

What's wrong with you?

Let me go or I'll scream!

Would you leave Illayaal behind?

Yes.

Can you abandon her?

What did you think?

You finally ended believing the whole fairytale?

You think I'm her mother?

You think that she thinks

I'm her mother?

You're not my husband, Dheepan.

I'm not your wife.

And she's not our daughter.

Speak.

Say something!

What?

I won't move out of here.

Hey, housekeeper!

Do you think this is a football field?

What are you doing, sir?

You could make a highway

for all I care!
