That's too expensive.

I don't have enough money..

Come on, let's go..

Oh, those Germans... I've never seen men like them.

They are well-mannered.

Quite frankly, if one approaches me, I won't let him go.

Nothing.

She's been expelled!

As if me being fired wasn't enough!

She picked a bad day for it!

-You've got nothing to teach me? -You know all you need.

You can sew and cook. Khaled will be happy with that.

-My mother drives me mad. -So does mine.

Say... I've wanted to ask for a year now

But I don't dare.

Go on. Say it!

Why did your mother lose her job?

Because of the French...

Why?

I don't know. They don't like us anymore.

May God forgive me!

What are they doing?

They're laughing. Really?

You haven't turned the radio on for us this morning?

Come on.

Come with me.

Come let Tita cuddle you.

Ah, Nour, the world is cruel.

Wait here, I'lll get you some Molokheya.

What's wrong?

I need your help. I have to see Khaled.

Can you help me?

What's that red dress?

Try it on for the synagogue. I prefer the blue one.

No, it makes you look pale.

It doesn't. -Enough!

-Heed my advice to attract Raoul. -I don't want to.

You'll have to after what you did at school.

Is this a time to sing songs against Marshall Petain?.

Please Nour, tell her to try it on.

It isn't sewn yet!

You can finish it tomorrow.

No time. I have to work with Nour.

As if the Germans will let you go back to school?

The Allies will.

Sew away while you wait for them.

Our concert today was brought

to you by the Galeries Barbes

and we hope that you enjoyed it.

Your satisfaction is the goal of our store.

For you, we hire the top music hall stars.

For you,

we have developed our quick-dry wax polish,

the polish with the instant shine Free catalogue.

I'm the little wooden man from the Galeries Barbes...

Anglo-American bombs again fell on our dear Tunisia yesterday.

Since it is a war of Jewish origin,

especially the invasion of North Africa

organized by international Jewry,

we thank the German authorities for compensating the bombs' victims

by giving the Jewish community a hefty fine.

Try to understand the huge threat

that the Jews represent wherever they live.

The fine is set at the fair sum of 20 million francs,

to be paid immediately to avoid bloody reprisals.

May God destroy them!

Jewry as a whole

is the greatest and staunchest enemy

of our cause and the Third Reich.

Wait in the living room

Thank you.

Do you know Paris?

I studied medicine there.

I stayed until the occupation, when I had to come back here.

And you,

tell me things.

-What do you like to do? -Nothing.

Do you like my house?

Not very talkative.

You were more outspoken at school!

How do you know about that? -The entire city knows.

Go back and see him.

Be nice to him.

I don't want to marry him.

When you're poor, you can't be choosy.

You eat and stay quiet.

You want me to die in poverty?

This man was sent by God.

He'll bring you fame and joy.

And he'll help us pay the fine.

At first, I too thought I didn't love your father.

And then...

I got to know him.

there's a war on.

Now ask your god about the fine.

"Almighty God,"

"give Myriam 20 million francs to pay the fine."

We'll See.

If it doesn't work, you'll have to ask Raoul.

You'll end up liking him one day.

No chance of that.

And he lives far away!

We won't be able to see each other?

First...

First of all...

Have you finished it?

-And the Arabian book? -That too.

That's good

Have you found work?

Not yet.

You have to, Khaled!

I know.

Why did you want to see me?

My father wants to call off the marriage.

Don't worry.
