00:00I don't know what I'm doing with my life, but I'm going to have to do it anyway.
00:30I don't know what I'm doing with my life, but I'm going to have to do it anyway.
01:01Mom.
01:02What?
01:03Mom, I want 10 riyals.
01:05God willing.
01:06Now, you sit with your sister, Bedour, and I'll take it from you and give it to you.
01:0910 riyals?
01:10Yes. Yes.
01:12Bedour?
01:13Who is Bedour?
01:14Bedour!
01:15Bedour!
01:24Girls! Girls!
01:27Get up!
01:29We prayed Maghrib prayer and you're still sleeping.
01:33Get up!
01:37May God end the night and the work of the night.
01:42And may He cut off the needy and enrich us with His grace.
01:46And may He restrain you and comfort you, O Lord.
01:50Don't worry about your sister. Pray for the Prophet.
01:58I will pray.
01:59Don't worry. God will help you.
02:02Don't worry. God will help you.
02:04Bedour!
02:07Call me Mom.
02:08God bless you.
02:10Give Ahmed 10 riyals.
02:12God willing. God willing, Mom.
02:21Ahmed! Ahmed!
02:28Ahmed, listen. This is 50 riyals.
02:31But listen, don't buy planes with it.
02:34I won't buy planes. I won't.
02:37You won't buy them, huh?
02:38And listen to me. This plane thing, get it out of your head.
02:51Ahmed!
02:53Call me Mom.
02:57Don't be late.
03:00I won't be late?
03:01No.
03:02God willing.
03:09God bless you, Abu Ahmed.
03:12If you come and see how we are after you.
03:16I don't know how it happened.
03:18Only God knows.
03:23Our father passed away.
03:25He left us with our children.
03:28And the rent was 3,500 riyals.
03:32And it was our secret.
03:35Until the children grew up.
03:38And our story began.
03:41People are happy to have a son.
03:46And we were sad when he graduated.
03:52Mom! Mom!
03:54Come here, son. We're here.
03:56Mom, congratulations.
03:57I passed, Mom. I passed.
03:59Congratulations, son. Congratulations.
04:01Come, sit down. Sit down.
04:02Teach us about your grades.
04:03Congratulations, brother.
04:04Congratulations. Congratulations.
04:06But the most important thing is appreciation.
04:08I came very high.
04:10And I intend, God willing, to enter one of these academic colleges.
04:12God bless you, son.
04:14I've been a graduate for three years.
04:16And I have a high degree.
04:18And they accepted me.
04:20Yes, and how are you?
04:26Hello?
04:27My aunt?
04:28Mom, it's my aunt.
04:32What is it?
04:34Hello?
04:35Hello?
04:37Hello?
04:39Thank God.
04:44This is my sister.
04:46Her husband is an Arab.
04:48He beats her for a reason.
04:50And for another reason.
04:52Catch him, sister. Catch him.
04:54Don't catch me, sister. Don't catch me, sister.
04:56I'm a man. I know my place.
04:58I come early. I come late. I'm free.
05:00That's enough, man. That's enough.
05:02I don't want to hear your voice again. That's enough.
05:04I don't want to hear your voice again.
05:06How many times have I told you?
05:08I don't want to hear your voice again.
05:10I've told you more than once.
05:13I don't want to hear your voice again.
05:15I don't want to hear your voice again.
05:20That's enough. That's enough.
05:22I've told you before.
05:24Get rid of this man.
05:26And leave us alone.
05:28He's a criminal, aunt. A criminal.
05:30You shouldn't be with him.
05:34I was patient with him because of the children.
05:37Thank God you came to this.
05:39And this is not the first time he's done this.
05:42You have to go to court tomorrow.
05:45And ask for a divorce.
05:47Divorce?
05:48Divorce just like that?
05:50Who's going to make it up to him?
05:53The court.
05:55And my sister's story with the court began.
06:00We had wounds.
06:02And they opened up to us.
06:04And I have witnesses for everything you said, Sheikh.
06:08You don't need witnesses, my sister.
06:10Witnesses are enough.
06:12Sheikh, I only have God and Sharia.
06:15I'm in your debt, Sheikh.
06:17Salim, since things have gotten so bad between you and your wife,
06:23I think you should make amends.
06:26Sheikh, why should I make amends, Sheikh?
06:31I want my wife to go home and go back to her children, Sheikh.
06:35And what you're saying is not entirely true, Sheikh.
06:39It doesn't matter how she goes back with you.
06:41You don't have anyone to take care of you.
06:43If you'll excuse me,
06:45no one in this room will speak except for me.
06:49Go back, Salim, and I'll tell you
06:51either you make amends with Ihsan,
06:53or you leave if she asks you to.
06:56I'm asking you to divorce me, Sheikh.
06:59I only have God and you protect me from Him.
07:02Sheikh, I want my wife and my children.
07:06And you?
07:08I want a divorce.
07:14The hearing is postponed for a month from today
07:20to give the two defendants time to review themselves.
07:29What's going on, mother?
07:31You're supposed to teach them how to fly
07:33and graduate with a commercial pilot's license
07:35within two years.
07:37And it's not more than 50,000 riyals.
07:40Okay, but where is this school?
07:42In Riyadh or Jeddah?
07:44It's not in the whole country.
07:46The school is in Jordan.
07:48And you want to study in this school?
07:50Of course, mother.
07:52And I love flying.
07:54And the job is guaranteed after graduation.
07:56And the country needs pilots
07:58maybe ten years ahead.
08:00But, son, where do we get the 50,000 riyals?
08:03Don't worry, mother.
08:05We can borrow money from a bank
08:07at the minimum wage we have.
08:09And when I graduate and get a job,
08:11God willing, I'll give it back to you and my sisters.
08:14Consider it an investment.
08:16What do you think, son?
08:18I agree with what Ahmed said.
08:21Thank God.
08:24Tomorrow, we'll go to a bank
08:26and borrow money from them
08:28before we miss our chance.
08:35We went to more than one bank.
08:38And they all told us,
08:40your salary is 3,500 riyals.
08:42We can't give you more than 30,000 riyals.
08:49And the door closed in front of my sons
08:52after we thought it was open.
08:54Mother, mother!
08:56What is it, son?
08:58Look, mother.
09:00This is an easy-to-use investment.
09:02And we can borrow the money we need.
09:04Let's call them.
09:06Don't call them.
09:08It's not our fault.
09:10We deal according to the Islamic law.
09:13Thank God.
09:15That's why the money you borrow
09:17from us is lawful.
09:19Thank God.
09:21And that's why God gives us blessings.
09:23Thank God.
09:25It's like banks.
09:27They're all fake.
09:29We buy a car.
09:31For example,
09:33for 50,000 riyals.
09:35And we sell it for 68,000 riyals.
09:38And we sell it for three years.
09:41Each month, we sell it for 1,900 riyals.
09:44What do you think?
09:46You're saying we're not like banks.
09:49You're the one who takes more money like banks.
09:52Yes, sister.
09:54We give you cash.
09:56We give you goods.
09:58In addition to the hard work
10:00and advertising.
10:02Get up, son.
10:04Get up.
10:06It's no use.
10:08Don't worry.
10:10You came on your own.
10:12No one forced you.
10:14But before you leave,
10:16take these papers.
10:18They have all the necessary conditions.
10:20You might need them.
10:22They're yours.
10:26They want me to get 1,900 riyals for three years.
10:30What's left of the salary?
10:321,600 riyals?
10:34For food, water, or rent?
10:36No, mom. That's not fair.
10:38What can we do, son?
10:40We only have this solution.
10:42Don't forget that your sister's salary
10:45is 1,000 riyals.
10:48That means we'll have 2,600 riyals.
10:52That's a lot of money.
10:55Don't worry, mom.
10:57I'll graduate in two years.
10:59I'll get a job.
11:01My minimum salary will be 4,000 riyals.
11:04Don't forget, Ahmed.
11:06I'm graduating next year.
11:08I'm going to college.
11:10I'll get 1,000 riyals like my sister.
11:12Ahmed, I'm your aunt.
11:14Your mom and I have some gold.
11:16We built it ourselves.
11:18Go on, son.
11:20Leave it to God.
11:41After we got the money
11:43and prepared Ahmed himself for the trip,
11:46we had a court hearing.
11:49We all hoped that the sheikh
11:51would take care of my poor sister's condition
11:54and protect her from her cruel husband
11:57and sentence her to divorce.
12:14Hi, Nila.
12:16Did you think about it?
12:18I just want you to know
12:20that I hate divorce.
12:23And you, Salim,
12:26you promised me
12:28that you'd treat her well.
12:31I always treat her well.
12:34You're a liar.
12:36I told you I was ready to bring witnesses
12:39and testimonies from the lawyer
12:41who treated me more than 10 times
12:43because of his beating.
12:45That's enough.
12:47I don't want to hear any more stories.
12:49Do you want him or do you want me to leave him?
12:52I want my wife to come home with me
12:54so she doesn't leave the family.
12:56I don't want to go back to him.
12:58If I agree to go back to him,
13:00I'll be risking my life.
13:02I want you to divorce me, sheikh.
13:04I'm the one who decides
13:06whether to divorce or leave him.
13:08You have to give me back a portion of the money.
13:11I said no, sheikh.
13:13You pay me 60,000 and I'll divorce you.
13:16No, no, no.
13:17Not all the money.
13:18I'll pay you a portion of the money.
13:2040,000 riyals.
13:22Is sheikh telling you that she has witnesses
13:24and is ready to bring you medical reports
13:26about whether he left her or not?
13:28And that you can judge him in court instead of divorcing him?
13:34We left the court.
13:36We're waiting for the next hearing in two months.
13:51Ahmed wants to change his mind about traveling
13:55so he can settle his aunt's case.
13:58But I, his aunt, and his sister
14:01convince him to travel.
14:03Especially since sheikh is preventing him from going to court.
14:08And we need him to graduate as soon as possible.
14:33I want to give you time for the next hearing in two months.
14:38You'll get yourself back.
14:40And you'll get rid of the devil.
14:42And you'll go back to your wife.
14:44Or you can get 40,000 riyals from sheikh
14:46so I can divorce you.
15:04Two weeks later
15:12A week after the hearing,
15:14we had to pay the rent.
15:16We sold my poor son's car, Ahmed.
15:19We sold the roof of the house.
15:21And we paid the rent.
15:23We moved to a cheap apartment.
15:25We ran away from the problems.
15:27But he chased us away.
15:30And the problems piled up on our heads.
15:32One after the other.
15:34The cruel Salim, who is not afraid of God
15:37or who said he wanted to leave his people.
15:39He stole my sister's children from school.
15:42And he took them and left them with his new wife.
15:45And my sister called him.
15:48I beg you, I beg you, Salim.
15:50Give me back my children and I'll give you whatever you want.
15:52Look,
15:53if you want to close the deal,
15:55give 40,000 riyals to the sheikh.
16:00From where?
16:01If I had it, I'd give it to you, but I don't have it.
16:04Listen to me.
16:05I want to get married to a new wife.
16:08And I'll get her a job.
16:10Instead of spending money,
16:12getting a visa,
16:14paying the money,
16:16you come and work for us
16:18with the money you want.
16:28And this is the sheikh.
16:30Mom,
16:31I have an idea.
16:33What is it?
16:34What do you think I should bring for the next semester?
16:37So that the reward will continue
16:39in the summer and the next semester.
16:41How?
16:42Yes, mom.
16:43All the girls whose families live on rewards
16:46do this.
16:48No, no, no.
16:49No, my daughter, no.
16:50Leave it to God and graduate from the university.
16:53And you'll get a job.
16:55And then don't forget
16:56that my sister Kareem
16:58will enter the university next year.
17:00And she'll compensate us with your reward
17:02if you don't get a job.
17:05Mom, but...
17:07But I'm scared.
17:11And months and years passed.
17:14Bedour graduated from the university
17:16and Reem from high school.
17:19Bedour didn't get a job
17:21as she had expected.
17:23And Reem didn't get accepted at the university.
17:26And they stayed at home.
17:28All they did was sleep and be bored.
17:31When we got our rent,
17:33I called the rental company.
17:36They didn't tell me the rent.
17:38And they took a cheque.
17:40Each cheque was 1,000 riyals.
17:42And we started receiving
17:44less than 500 riyals
17:45from the rent.
17:47We disconnected the phones.
17:49We turned off the lights,
17:50which were not necessary.
17:52And we turned off the air conditioners.
17:54And we started living on one meal a day.
17:58And we never left the house.
18:24And one night,
18:26my daughter Bedour
18:28went out with her friend Najwa.
18:31And she was late.
18:33And we were worried about her.
18:35And suddenly, she came in.
18:42Peace be upon you.
18:44Where have you been?
18:46I've been looking for you.
18:48Where have you been?
18:50I've been looking for you.
18:52Peace be upon you.
18:54Where have you been all this time?
18:56I've been looking for you.
18:58Mom, I told you not to go out with my friend Najwa.
19:00That's right.
19:01But have you been late all this time?
19:03No.
19:04Don't think that there's no man in the house.
19:06And we're going out to have fun.
19:08No.
19:09That's not going to happen.
19:11And why didn't you call?
19:12And how can I call when you know
19:13that our phone is disconnected?
19:15Guys, let her rest first.
19:18I'm not comfortable with this Najwa.
19:21And this Najwa that you're not comfortable with,
19:23she got me a job.
19:26Really?
19:28She got you a job?
19:30Congratulations.
19:31Congratulations, my daughter.
19:33And what kind of job is this?
19:35It's a DJ job.
19:37For weddings and parties.
19:39So your job is at night?
19:40Yes, at night.
19:41And then what do you do?
19:43Get up.
19:44Get up, open the fridge and see what's in it.
19:45It's been a whole week and it's empty.
19:47There's nothing in it.
19:48There's no electricity.
19:49Did you forget the landlord?
19:50He comes every day with the rent.
19:51And we haven't paid him anything yet.
19:53What did they say?
19:54He has to be fired.
20:04My son, Ahmed, graduated from business school.
20:07And I said, thank God,
20:09he's getting better.
20:11Thank God you're safe, my son.
20:13God bless you, Mom.
20:14I hope you didn't have a hard time on the road.
20:16How are you?
20:17I saw you, Mom.
20:18I'm exhausted.
20:19Tell me, how are you?
20:20How's your mother?
20:21We're fine.
20:22God bless you.
20:23We're tired because of you.
20:25And you, auntie.
20:26I hope your problem is solved.
20:29Not yet.
20:30My dear,
20:31get up first, change your clothes,
20:33put on the house clothes,
20:35and your auntie will tell you the story.
20:41Hello?
20:42Hello, Najwa.
20:45Now?
20:48Okay, I'm coming.
20:50Goodbye.
20:53I'm sorry,
20:54I have work to do.
20:57Work?
20:58What work do you have to do tonight?
21:00Did you work as a doctor?
21:01No, son.
21:02It's just a job.
21:04Don't worry, sister.
21:05I hope you'll get a job tomorrow
21:07and you won't have to work tonight.
21:09If I work, I won't be late.
21:14Ahmad started looking for a job.
21:17But all the doors were closed in front of him.
21:32Excuse me,
21:33400 planes have submitted their files.
21:35Wait, I'll call you.
21:38400?
21:44400.
21:50And he sat at home,
21:52waiting for someone to call him
21:54and tell him what happened.
22:11My son,
22:12get used to the devil.
22:14And go to the one you submitted to for the first time.
22:17Maybe it's your turn.
22:19Or it's just a matter of time
22:20and they won't be able to call you.
22:22Call me?
22:25Right now, mom,
22:26I have more than six months
22:28and I go to them every day.
22:30Look at my face.
22:31But they don't want me.
22:32No one calls me, mom.
22:34Six months.
22:35My son, my dear.
22:38Don't let your heart be broken by Elias.
22:41I hope he doesn't quit his job.
22:43Honestly, I'm starting to worry about you.
22:47Where can I go, mom?
22:48Tell me what to do.
22:50Do you know about the flight, mom?
22:52I went to the flight
22:54and told them
22:55that I'm the only one who can't kill the cockroach
22:57and the ants in our neighborhood.
22:59But they don't want me.
23:00No one wants me, mom.
23:04In the name of God, my dear.
23:06May God protect you.
23:08Oh God.
23:09May God protect you.
23:19Are you riding with me, mom?
23:21I'm going to fly.
23:22In the name of God.
23:23In the name of God, my dear.
23:27There is no power or strength except with God, the Almighty.
23:31What's wrong with her?
23:33She's been ringing the bell all day.
23:36Poor thing.
23:37I saw her coming in the morning.
23:38She's tired and exhausted.
23:39And her eyes are red from the heart.
23:43Bedour.
23:45Bedour.
23:46Wake up, girl.
23:47You're late for bed.
23:50May God help her.
23:52They say that DJs
23:54are always tired.
23:56Lights, noisy sounds, and loud.
24:04Good morning.
24:05Good morning.
24:06Good evening.
24:08What should I do, sister?
24:10I'm exhausted.
24:11Don't worry.
24:12I'll get you some tomatoes and coffee.
24:21Ahmed, where are you going?
24:22Ahmed, what's wrong with you?
24:24Ahmed?
24:28Leave him alone, girl.
24:30Maybe he's busy.
24:33Yes, mom.
24:34I talked to some people.
24:35They said they're ready to hire us.
24:38Thank God.
24:39I hope they'll hire a pilot.
24:42A pilot?
24:43What kind of pilot?
24:45Do you think he can fly?
24:48I hope he can walk on the ground.
24:50What's the job they promised you?
24:53Security.
24:55Security?
24:56No problem.
24:57But in the east.
24:58In the airport.
24:59So that if there's no pilot,
25:01or an earthquake,
25:02he can go to the city.
25:03Wow!
25:13Here you go.
25:14Thank you, auntie.
25:17What about me?
25:20Don't worry, auntie.
25:21I'll take care of you.
25:24And this is our story.
25:28And we don't know
25:30if it's going to make us happy
25:32or make us sad.
25:35And every time it made us happy,
25:38it made us sad.
25:42Until we got up,
25:44and became like my son, Ahmed.
25:47A bird
25:49without wings.
25:51And we
25:53became birds
25:55without wings.
26:00Auntie,
26:02I have a surprise for you.
26:04I paid them
26:06and brought you your divorce papers.
26:09Auntie?
