00:00A film by René Chouard
00:12Is that your day's work?
00:14I've got a rather complicated day.
00:18What's so funny?
00:20Who drew this?
00:21It's not the first time.
00:22Yeah, but this time, I feel it's different.
00:26It's not a Muslim!
00:28For the umpteenth time, Alain has nothing to do with my class!
00:31It's just a quarrel between classmates.
00:33What I can tell you is that it was isolated and exceptional.
00:36You talk about him as if he was four and a half years old.
00:38It's okay.
00:39We're still talking about a girl who was physically assaulted,
00:41who was threatened, harassed,
00:43all that in the space of three days.
00:45You're going to make me a tumor.
00:48Today, you're going to discover a new author.
00:51Abu Nawaz.
00:53He's Muslim.
00:54And he loves men as much as he loves women.
00:59You have to stop, Amal.
01:00Just do your job and go home.
01:04The students came to see me.
01:06They're furious.
01:07What you made my son read is unacceptable.
01:09I came across the wrong person, sir.
01:11It's just going to put the fire out.
01:12That's the problem.
01:13Find him an exorcism to cure his lesbian thing.
01:15What?
01:16Oh, Rachida!
01:21Baba, I didn't do anything.
01:22I didn't insult anyone.
01:23I didn't insult religion.
01:26You and your shitty teacher came to pervert us.
01:28You're both going to pay for it, okay?
01:30I can't take it anymore, Abu.
01:32You're talking to me about the threats you received on the internet.
01:34You know I don't see Mounia anymore in my religion classes.
01:36You should tell her to come back.
01:37It would be better for you.
01:39What I'm asking you is not to be vague,
01:41to try to make it work.
01:42I'm really scared for you.
01:44For us.
01:46It's not a game, Amal.
01:47They have our address.
01:48It's serious.
01:49It's because of an asshole like him
01:51that we have to apologize every day for being Muslim.
