Vichy to the Minister.

The occupation ... suspects

That the Mosque of Paris ...

Provides false papers

to persons of the Jewish race ...

We will hold you ...

directly responsible next time.

Have you seen Salim?

-No.

You okay?

I need eggs. At least twelve.

I've stopped the black market.

Thanks for the book.

If you want.

You're doing it well.

-You too.

You have to, as a bachelor.

How did you come in Paris?

-Through my cousin Ali.

He's lived here for ten years. I

worked with him in a factory.

I stayed two years.

Now I'm unemployed but healthy.

And you?

I'm here for family reasons.

Do you have family in Paris?

I have a brother in Germany.

What's he doing?

He's in a camp.

Soon he will be liberated.

Perhaps we can see each other?

Hello?

Can you give us a minute?
