What's wrong, Mama? Why are you crying?
Why am I crying? Why am I crying, my dear? What's wrong with my brother? He's fine and perfectly healthy,
and today is the
anniversary of his death.
Of course he's fine, but you're worried sick. Your brother isn't fine at
all. He refuses to hit his father or hit you,
or participate in the city's killing competitions. He's
his death.
Yes, my brother, it's the anniversary of his death. What other
anniversary is it? Last year I got
him a machine gun, a big machine gun, but he refused to shoot his father with it or
you. Why, my son? I'm the one who's being disobedient. But never mind,
Mama, I hope he grows up and loves evil, and that he'll
truly die. I even got him a gift
he'll love, show him this gift.
gift.
Look what you got him! This
gun will eat bits off his face, won't it?
Look how handsome my son is! Death suits him. I don't
understand, but why does the boy love life?
Mama, we don't say that. This house is unclean and
will remain unclean forever.
Wait, brother, wait, wait, I didn't mean it. Wait,
brother, your hand is really heavy. [Music]
[Music]
On the anniversary of his death, I'm sorry,
the boy is driving me crazy. I mean, I'm a woman, you're well-mannered, I don't
say things like that. And then, your hand is really heavy, is
n't it? Give me that salt, brother,
or I'll go make you some poison to drink. You hit me
hard. I'm not forgiving you.
Good evening.
Good evening.
Good evening, uncle. It's the
anniversary of his death.
How are you? It seems I came early
today, uncle, or what? Isn't today also the anniversary of
his death?
Early? What? Didn't I tell you to come at
5:00 to help me with the decorations?
Sorry, the traffic was really bad. At
the fountain at the beginning of the street. Oh,
there's Adel, he's coming down. Hello? Yes. Okay, excuse me, just a
moment. Excuse me, can I have
the address here for the cake delivery?

Death and Doom Street.
Death and Doom Street,
near Ragab's Dead Supermarket.
Near Ragab's Dead Supermarket,
near the Delicious Murder Square.
Delicious Murder Square,
7th floor underground.
7th floor underground. Island of the Dead.
Yes, exactly. Okay, thank you,
brother. You're getting him an official extract? Of
course, it's the Island of the Dead. Are we on another planet?
No, no, no, no, no. Right now, especially, you have to
make sure you're inside the Island of the Dead. Didn't you
hear what Did it happen?
No, I didn't hear what happened, oh my God!
He's saying there's a guy who
takes people from the Island of the Dead to the
other island, the Island of the Living. Um, never mind, never mind, come here. It seems
you're listening, uncle. Come on over. Look, he's
saying, uncle, they call it "The Living One."
Uncle, what country of the living? What nonsense? You
believe in this stuff,
son? This isn't nonsense, believe me. They call it "The
Living One." He's saying that now he's making
passports for people and taking them from the Island of the Dead
to the other island.
Oh, but, but I understand. You're
talking nonsense. You must have had too much soup yesterday or something, uncle. Believe me, I didn't drink anything. It was just a little hashish with a very small amount of alcohol and some drugs and marijuana, so there's nothing wrong. Then why are you saying such nonsense this
good evening, everyone. How are you all doing? Every
year, my name is dead. How are you?
Dalia, how are you doing?
Dalia, how are you? How are
you, Sami? Happy birthday,
and name Maryam, Bassem. It's a shame, Bassem. It's a
holiday, and your death is over. [Music] How are you,
[Music] How are you,
Dalia? I want
to tell you something, would you like me to help you with anything? No, no, not at
all. The decorations are finished, and the cake is on its way,
and Mama has finished all the food. Yes,
[Music]
Malak, my brother, did you see one alive? No, one alive? Don't
alive? Don't
say that, Mama. What is this? Don't stuff me with
food. Wait.
No, no, my brother, not in front of the children. No, my brother,
brother,
promise. He died. I'm
sorry. Come here, my brother. You gather the young men. Why are
you hitting me in front of them? I'm being polite. So,
what did you get him?
Oh, I got him the gift he's been wanting for
years, a suicide belt! He
was dying for it, but it's
so expensive, Dalia. Why are you doing this to yourself?
No, no, I've been saving up for three years to get
it for him. But do you think he'll love it?
Come on, let me show you some things I got from
Black Friday. Come on, show me. [Music]
[Music]
What's this? What are you doing here?
Sami, how are you?
We've got a surprise for you for your anniversary. Yes,
Yes,
but it's so strange. Your sister said you'd be here at 6:00.
6:00.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
What's this? Hey, you, what's wrong? You look
so upset. Is something wrong?
Oh, I understand. Yes, he's upset. No, no, no.
Anyway, she's inside.
What? He says Dalia's inside. Really?
Really? Yes, yes. Sami's here.
Yes, yes. Sami's here.
Dad, help!
Sami! Sami! Dalia! Sami! Dalia!
Sami! Dalia! Come here, come here. I
Dalia! Come here, come here. I
want to tell you something, Dalia.
You know I've been feeling very uncomfortable and
unhappy in this house and in this country for a long time, Sami.
Sami.
I know that I really want to
do something different.
Like what, Sami? I do
n't know, but I always feel like
something's missing. But finally,
finally,
I know, Dalia, what exactly I'm missing.
What is it, Sami?
After I met someone who changed my life and turned my world upside down,
who is it, Sami?
Dalia? It's me.
I decided that I'm
happy, always to you, happy, always to you,
Sami. I decided that
I'm going to live.
Yes, my brother,
what did you decide?
You couldn't possibly have said that.
Why, just like that, Sami?
No, no, I disown you. Happy
Eid, and may your life be blessed. Okay,
everyone, we're born dead, and since the day we
were born, we don't even know what we were born for.
Maybe we were born for life? Of course not.
What stupidity! If we're dead, then we were created for death. They
danced and danced, clear as day.
Oh, wow! And if we, sir, are created for
life, the One who created us didn't make it easy for us and created us to
live forever, why does the living say that
life... It's not imposed on anyone, and everyone who is
currently in the Land of the Living chose, of
their own volition and by their own decision, to go there.
Okay, let's assume that what you're
saying is true.
Why didn't He make it easier for us? Why didn't He make the island of the Living
closer to us so we could reach it?
The living one also told me that this was the situation a long time ago,
before our ancestors decided to move away and
migrate to the farthest island from the Land of the Living.
He wants people to decide for themselves that they are the ones who
choose. He wants us to choose life.
Yes, he wants us to choose life.
Okay, I'll ask you a question: What, man? Would a
dead person go and choose life for themselves?
Exactly, my son, can you imagine the amount of things you'll
miss if you go to the Island of the Living? All of this does
n't matter to me because I know and I'm sure that there are much
better and more things in Hitani
there. Well, my son, who else would feed you
poisoned food but me? Who else would care for you? Who else would look after you? Who else would you spend your sad days with but me? Who else would you push, hate, and
cheat with but me? That's the
point. I don't want to spend sad days. Oh my God, my
son wants to be happy! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my
God! Well, aren't you afraid of missing out on the gifts I get you, whether for a special occasion or not, just like you missed out on all of that? I really don't care, Sami. Even I don't matter to you, Talia.
Talia.
I love you. Don't finish,
Sami. If you really loved me, you would have
stayed with us on the Island of the Dead.
Come with me. Come with me to the Land of
the Living, and we'll live together there
too. You're cursing me, aren't you? What did I do to you,
brother, to deserve all this?
No, my dear, he doesn't mean it. He's cursing Dalia.
Lady Dalia is a beautiful girl. He doesn't mean it, my dear, he doesn't mean it.
My brother is weak, Mama. That's enough.
No, don't say that. No, no.
You've lost your mind, you're not the Sami I know,
know,
Sami. Okay, so you've forgotten about mood in the land of
the living. There's no mood, you'll have to stop everything
you love doing.
Exactly, you're free here. If you want to hurt yourself, no
one will say anything. If you want to harm yourself, 100
millimeters in your back,
none of that matters to me, none of it has any value
to me. Go crazy, Sami. Don't, don't do this cleanliness
that will lead you to this. Brother, you
need to stay in the dark to see things as they truly are, Sami.
Sami.
Don't try, guys, I've already made my decision
