Angels are
created from light and the evil Djinns from smokeless fire. Luckily not all
Djinns are evil. If a curious Djinn catches the Divine light, a falling star
will be sent upon him. |

I’m making the

Fatma reaches up to her hair |
00:05:51 |
Fatma |
I told you to
make it with this part only and leave the rest loose. |
Fatma reaches higher |
00:05:59 |
Mother |
Okay, one moment. Just a minute. I’ll join in this last wisp. Hello? Hello? Yes? My huysband woke up and
started shouting at the kids. He kept yelling and swearing until the woke up.
He yelled at me and the kids: Damn you. I went to him and gave him his
clothes and socks, then we had coffee. Yes. |

Who’s the one who should be mad? I was 20 years old when I first put
lipstick on. |
Mother pats Fatma’s forehead |
00:07:40 |
Fatma |
I’m 13 years old, girls my age not only put lipstick on, they wear
full make up. |
Fatma lifts right

00:07:47 |
Mother |
Well, well, look how proud I am with you. Like what your dad usually
says. Do you know what he says? Do you? ‘This is how you’ve raised her.’ Hey. Stand up. Get up. |

Fatma |
The closest
friend to me is Rooster. Only Rooster won’t let my secrets out. It always
happens when I take one of his chickens. He tries to follow me and pecks me.
Eat your food. |

Mother |
Once upon a
time, there were three sisters. Unfortunately their mother and father died.
They were left with a house. And a chicken. The youngest sister lived in the
small room, next to her chicken. The older sisters became very jealous. One
day they threw the beloved chicken in the cave of the Man-eater. The youngest
sister came home from work and she couldn’t find the chicken. She kept
searching, but she couldn’t find it. ‘Perhaps it fell over the edge into the
Man-eaters cave?’ She looked into the Man-eaters cave, and there she saw her ckicken. The Man-eater was huge and dangerous and ate
every living creature on his path. |

So she asked
her sisters: ‘Tie a rope around my waist, then lower me to the chicken. I
will take it and then you pull me up again.’ But as soon as she reached the
ground, they pulled the rope and threw it away. Now she thought: ‘Where will
I hide from the Man-eater?’ The man-eater came in and said: ‘Do I smell
mankind or a Djinn?’ She shivered… |

00:14:12 |
Fatma |
Rooster was
out…eating. You know how animals like to eat the plants and vegetables. So it
was out eating. My father came in while I was still at school… When he saw
Rooster was out, he asked my brother Mohamed to take it to a neighbour here
who owns a traditional Hammam. He had a water
fountain, so he slaughtered Rooster. When I came home I asked: ‘Where is
Rooster?’ When my dad came home, he gave Rooster to my mom and asked her to
cook it. I remained silent. |

Hold this. |
Mother holds out yellow lid |
00:18:25 |
Teacher |
Today I came to you, instead of coming to the clinic. Okay, we’ll do
a quick revision. One of the things we used to discuss is that Fatma should live her age. To not intervene in issues
that are older than my age. Because in the end, according to this old saying:
‘He who interferes in things that have nothing to do with him, will face what
he doesn’t like to face.’ Right? Memorize it and repeat it for me. |
Fatma chews on
fingernail |

and Teacher together |
‘He who interferes in things that have nothing to do with him will
face what he doesn’t like to face.’ |

Okay, memorize it and repeat it one more time. One, two… |
Fatma puts her hand
to her face |
00:19:04 |
Fatma |
‘He who interferes…’ ‘He who interferes in things that have nothignt
to do with him, will face what he doesn’t like to face.’ |
She takes her hand away |
00:19:16 |
Teacher |
Okay, what did you get out of this proverb or famous saying? |
She leans to her right |
00:19:21 |
Fatma |
I shouldn’t interfere in things that don’t concern me. If mom and
dad are talking about something that doesn’t’t
concern me, for instance about going back to Syria.. |
Hand disappears from frame |
00:19:28 |
Teacher |
Exactly. Because this could go under the habit of being nosy. When
I’m curious about what mom and dad are talking about at night. This is out of
my authorities, why? Because it could get me into things that I don’t want
and make me face negative consequences. |
Open handed gesture |
00:20:34 |
Mother |
Why are you sad? |
Mother grabs Fatma’s hair |
00:20:38 |
Fatma |
Nothing. |
She lets go |
00:20:43 |
Mother |
Don’t cry. You know… The good Djinns make the leaves green. They
colour the plants green. Where is your mind? Smile, smile. If you smile at
the world, the world wll smile back. Okay? Don’t be
afraid. |
She wipes Fatma’s eyes |

It’s normal, they go out and come back again. I only have that big

up to find they put poison all around the neighbourhood. |

Shall I tell you a story? Once upon a time there was a small family. They
had three sons. One of them was called Oclatylispa.
Oclatylispa… He was very smart. The mother died and
the father remarried. But the new wife was evil. She wanted to get rid of the
children. The smart boy Oclatylispa secretly overheard her evil plan. 'Tomorrow I
will take them to the desert I will leave them there and go home alone.' |

then? |

How are you? How is your health? I've missed you. Is our house
still as beautiful as it used to be? I wanted to ask you about the swing we had at home. Is it still there or
did it fall down? What about the yellow flowers and the grape trees? And how are our white and red mulberry trees? And how are our white and red mulberry trees? I miss them. I miss the
green of trees. I haven't seen anything but the desert sand here. But I haven't lost hope. I've
planted some plants here to get a feel of Syria. I hope we meet soon in our little heaven. Goodbye. |
