Zaytoun

Lebanon, 1982 political, military, and religious factions...

Fight for control of the war-torn country while Israel, under rocket attacks...

Launched by the PLO, prepares to invade.

Cigarettes! Gum! Only one lira! Who wants gum?

Want gum?

Gum, one lira, everything for one lira!

Who wants gum? One lira! One lira only!

All gum, just one lira.

Everything for one lira!

Everything for one lira! Come and buy.

Everything for one lira - cars, toys, wallets.

Come closer.

Everything for one lira! Gum! Cigarettes! Only one lira!

Only one lira!

Hey!

- Go back to your filthy camp! - Leave me alone!

Get out of our city!

Don't come here again! We don't want you here.

Stay out of this, you son of a bitch!

Get out of here. Police! Police!

Go fuck yourselves!

Fahed! Ahmed! Wait for us!

Zico has the ball... he's attacking!

Zico, pass the ball!

Get out of here! Go back to your camp. Dogs!

All you bring is trouble.

Pass it to me.

Go home, you rotten Palestinians.

Zico has the ball...

He attacks...

Gets closer and closer... And shoots!

Goal! God! Goal!

A goal for Brazil!

The Israelis! The Israelis!

Screw your mothers...

Come on, guys!

There they are... Pull over!

- Come here! - Gotcha.

What are you doing outside the camp?

Move it! You're late for training.

Get in.

Come on, Ali, Ahmed!

- Come back here! - We'll get them later.

I'll give you 10 liras if you cross it.

I'll give you 20 liras if you won't.

Those Lebanese whores couldn't hit a hill

if they were standing on it.

Hold it.

Hey Palestinians! I'll shoot you in the head.

To the camp!

Last one back is a rotten Israeli!

What took you so long?

Meet us at the yard.

Churchill, come here! Where are you going?

Congratulations!

Where? Where are you going?

I'm sorry...

Go away... lousy kids!

Churchill!

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

Churchill!

What about Churchill? Why did you stop?

Don't worry, it's ok.

Ask her.

What's up, rooster woman?

We are waiting for bus 271 to balad El-sheikh.

There is no bus today. It broke down.

There's no bus today? How will we get home?

They got us. Let's go!

My country, my home.

My country, my land, land of my ancestors.

Warrior, warrior,

I fight for you, my eternal people.

The return! The return!

With spirit, with blood, we will redeem you, oh Palestine!

- Don't miss training tomorrow. - I won't.

- What are you doing with him? - Training...

To liberate Palestine.

Liberate Palestine?

That idiot couldn't liberate a fart from his ass.

That's not true. He farts all the time.

Let's go in.

- Welcome, sir! - Hi, dad!

- I scored the winning goal today. - Bravo, zico!

Tell me...

Why wasn't my son fahed in school today?

I went. I swear!

- Come here. - Gotta piss.

You change the soil more often than he goes to school.

Come here.

What did I tell you?

What did your mother always tell you?

Don't you listen?

Listen.

You don't go outside the camp!

Understand?

Promise me!

You promise?

Dad, I see work in your future.

From your mouth to god's ears.

I think I'll see Palestine before you see work.

Gently. First warm the water and then...

Plant that damn thing!

Only when we're back on our land!

Take the ammunition trucks away!

- Don't run, be careful. - Dad, I want to help.

Stay back.

- Save yourself. - Where is my husband?

- Keep the kid away. - I want to help.

- Go to grandfather. I'll go help. - Let me come.

Go home, I'll be right back.

Dad!

Dad...

Dad...

May you never know sorrow.

God bless you.

The martyrs

dad

fahed, the teacher...

Fahed,

you're an idiot!

Why smoke in class? Do it in the bathroom like everybody.

Good job, guys. Give it all you got.

We want to return to Palestine.

Well done, fahed, you're a real man.

When do we go?

Soon, be patient.

I don't want to be patient, I want to throw the Israelis into the sea.

Everyone... I want you fast and accurate.

Khaled!

Goal! I shot him down.

- Fahed, how did you do that? - Zico can do anything.

Quick, let's go and get him.

- Careful. - He's heavy as hell.

Keep your eyes open.

- Is he here? - Yes.

- Hello, my friends. - Welcome, commander.

This is Rami.

What's happening?

He's kissing everybody.

- This is Mustafa. - God bless you, sir!

Let's see the prisoner.

What is he saying?

He wants to see the prisoner.

Open the gate.

- Where's the prisoner? - Go ahead.

- Leave it alone. - It's mine. Give it back.

- Now it's mine. - It's not fair. Rami, tell him.

Relax, fahed.

- Your turn. - What about the Israeli?

- Take a look at him. - Fahed, go look but be careful.

I think the bastard woke up.

Alona?

Water...

Water!

What is it, fahed?

Out, we'll take care of him.

- What's the kid doing? - Give him a minute.

Leave him alone.

- Hood him and get out. - But how will he breathe?

Why do you care about the enemy?

Don't drive me crazy. Let's play backgammon.

Will they really destroy this place?

Come with me.

Son of a bitch.

- Not a word! - Not a word?

Rami, he's important for us.

- Be careful! - Don't worry.

- In a few days we'll move him. - Where to?

North to Badawi. The Israelis won't find him there. It's safer.

Let's go, guys.

Don't waste your time.

When are our olives harvested?

First the apricots...

No, first the kumquats, then the plums?

First is the apricot,

then the peaches

and then plums.

And only after - the apples, figs...

Dad said the stars in balad El-sheikh are a thousand times brighter.

I don't remember.

Let's go to sleep.

Hello, guys!

Where's Rami?

Didn't he come with you?

- Did you bring me some food? - Do we look like waiters?

- Hang the map. - Sure.

I'm starving.

So who's stopping you? Go eat!

Take it.

It's your responsibility now.

Keep an eye on him. He's worth 1000 prisoners.

Why is he worth 1000 of us?

Let's find balad El-sheikh.

I can't find it.

- Is it near Haifa? - I don't know.

It should be near the Carmel.

Do you know where it is?

Hey, prisoner...
