-There's broken glass there!

-I see it!

Go on!

-Can't you do a single circuit?

-You're doing my head in!

Hold the handlebars right.

I'm okay, don't touch me!

It's all your fault.

-Why did you say you could?

-Because I can!

-Yeah?

-Yeah!

See you!

Yeah, see what you made me do?

Where are you going?

I'm late. I'll be in trouble.

You can't just leave me!

It won't even start now!

Whose fault is that?

I've done it!

Why keep trying?

You'll never get the hang of it!

I do better when you're not here!

About time! I could get raped here!

"Eleven o'clock, on the dot."

Yeah, okay.

My foot!

That way.

Over here.

Here.

Quiet!

It's to keep the jinns away.

I can feel them around us.

They hide everywhere.

In rats, dogs, snakes...

They don't like being disturbed.

A jinn.

A jinn.

What you talking about?

It's got into you.

Shut up!

The jinns don't like the full moon.

It makes them mad.

Doesn't it look like a face?

It's God watching us.

Like he's got nothing better to do!

Insha'Allah.

He could tell my dad everything.

Don't worry.

We're dust in the cosmos.

To him, we're microbes.

But when you're God,

you have to watch over your children.

It's written.

Yeah, but he hasn't acknowledged us.

Yes, he has.

He talks to me all the time.

When?

In my dreams.

He gives me weird dreams.

Don't you have weird dreams?

Mine are always the same.

I dream that I'm falling.

I try hard to wake up...

but I can't.

I just keep falling.

The further I fall, the more it burns.

In the end,

I'm no longer in pain or afraid.

I just want to crash so it'll end.

But it never does.

What about me?

I'm always here to catch you.

-Here.

-Thanks.

I put everything in the cellar.

Keep them.

You're in charge of the petrol now.

Where do you and your mum live?

The Roma camp, with my aunt.

By the A3 motorway?

You'll catch tetanus there.

So I can find you there?

I'm putting you and Maimouna

in action.

You'll take Samir's patch.

Use this.

If there's any problem,

destroy the SIM card.

It's got fake names,

my number and Samir's.

But don't call me. I'll call you.

Here.

A present.

No way, it's an iPhone 6 Plus!

See you tomorrow.

Why're you spoiling her?

And so...

-Which ones?

-Supras, they're essential.

I'll get Supras,

I'll get Gazelles,

I'll get Reeboks...

I'm gonna get

the two Adidas there...

That's for sure.

Navy blue and grey.

Maybe some Reeboks, just for home.

Let's go and eat

at the supermarket.

-It's the monkey.

-Our pal!

Where are you going?

Why are you stopping us

from coming in?

You're not coming in.

I saved your life

and this is how you thank me?

Okay... Noted.

Djigui...

Where's your tutu?

-And your tights?
