Mimosas (ميموزا)

Let's cut the distance short

through the mountains.

I want to get there as soon as possible.

Through the mountains?

There is no path to Sijilmasa through the mountains.

Why do you want to endanger us?

Let's take another way.

Trust in the Sheikh's word.

I trust him, but I don't trust the mountains.

Let's go. He protected us from bandits and death.

Fine.

Let's go.

But I warned you.

Come on, let's go!

Keep going on, muleskinners!

Let's go!

Move it!

The foreigners want to go through the mountains.

- Through the mountains? - Yes.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I think the Sheikh's wife has the money.

Be careful with the guides, they are keeping an eye on you.

It's not the season to go through the mountains.

I don't understand this decision.

Give me the list of drivers for today.

730, Ansiou!

Ansiou!

Come here!

Go!

Ikel al'Hassan, 676.

Come on, Hassan!

Who else?

608, Ajjaj Mohammed.

Consul, aren't we going to work?

384, Ouelali.

- Ouelali! - Go!

Same thing for three days.

Seddiq, 426.

We've been waiting all morning!

Let us finish with the first ones. Then it's your turn.

He worked yesterday and today again.

606, Taqi Raqibi.

Move it!

604, Madany!

Madany!

Here you are! Go!

Mohammed Shakib Ben Omar.

Shakib?

The little brat?

He can't even drive!

What are you doing?

He lacks experience.

He doesn't know anything.

But he is blessed.

We are blessed, too.

Shakib has no experience, he can't do it well.

I know he's inexperience, but he's a good co-driver.

Today I'm going to tell you a story.

A story about Earth, about its creation.

You'd better entertain us today, little brat.

Brats hang out with other brats...

But me, as you can see,

I'm a mustached and bearded man.

And the story I want to tell you,

you can tell it to others if you want.

God created our father Adam from dust.

From clay.

He called the angels to bow before Adam.

One of them was called Imlis.

You know who Imlis is?

Iblis, not Imlis.

It's the same. Iblis. Satan.

Iblis started to fool

human beings.

At that moment,

he observed how God breathed a soul into them.

He started bowing down...

With humility and obedience... Little by little...

What is this nonsense? The Devil doesn't prostrate.

He refused and was arrogant and became one of the disbelievers.

God's truth.

God's truth, indeed. But for whom?

For a man

that, at prayer time doesn't pray?

Think about what you say.

All these people around us are listening.

Let me finish the story,

and interpret it

as you want.

So the Devil started to bow down,

with his fellow angels.

He started to bow down like this,

little by little.

In the last moment, he stood up all of a sudden

and saw how God brought a soul into the human being.

Since then, the Devil has known the secret of humankind.

So he plays with it as he pleases.

Shakib!

Yes!

Come, I've got a job for you.

DON'T FORGET GOD

RUKU BOWING POSITION

Let's go, Shakib. Hurry up!

Get in.

The Sheikh wants to kill them all or what?

Making them go through this path...

He's got to have his own reasons.

What?

He's got to have his own reasons.

This way is not for horses.

It's a goat's way.

Do you think we can pass through?

Yes, we can.

Careful with the rocks!

Slowly!

Be careful, master. Lean on me.

Slowly.

Careful.

I'm fed up.

He doesn't want to stop.

He is stubborn.

We can't take it anymore.

We are all going to die.

Give me some water.

This path is too risky.

I won't go one step further if you want to go through the mountains.

- Ahmed, do you want to drink? - Later.

If we continue through the mountains, death will be certain.

That's what he wants.

That's what he wants.

He said the same thing I said.

What is my mission?

Why was I chosen?

You have to take care of a caravan.

Their Sheikh is about to die.

The caravan must arrive safely.

Got it?

Did you get it?

No, I didn't.

I'll tell you again, it's easy.

You're going to take care of a caravan. Their Sheikh is about to die.

The caravan must arrive safely.

That's it.

Why did you choose me?

It had to happen someday.

Do your best to make it through the mountains.

It is the Sheikh's will to die near his loved ones.

By the way,

in the caravan, there is somebody called Ahmed.

Take care of him.

Thanks.

That's a good place

for a nap.

Where is he going?

It seems he's going to die.

Alone? Like a dog?

These people are hard-hearted.

They haven't found the Sheikh yet.

We must tell his wife.

Why did you let him go?

Did you find something?

What?

When you were just next to the Sheikh's horse,

did you find anything?

I didn't.

They've found the Sheikh!

We are coming to help you!

Wait for us!

They've found the Sheikh!

Ahmed, they've found the Sheikh!

Wait, wait!

What's happening, Ahmed?

I think I've seen something.

I'm looking for the Sheikh.

Be careful with the belongings.

You can't do this to us.

His last will was to be buried next to his loved ones.

My deal with him was to take him to Sijilmasa.

Now that he's dead, the deal is broken.

Nobody will visit his grave here.

And the corpse won't be preserved if we don't go through the snow.

We are going back.

I am sorry.

We'll bury him in the nearest city.

Or find someone that can take the body to Sijilmasa.

You heard him? Let's go back!

Excuse me, madam.

Madam...

Madam...

I can take the body to Sijilmasa.

I know a way through the mountains.

You can leave peacefully.

I promise you we'll bury the Sheikh in Sijilmasa.

Why did you say you knew the way?

What kind of question is this? We got paid, didn't we?
