Outside the Law (2010)

Larbi Zekkal: Le caïd

Quotes 

• Le caïd : I have a court order. This land has been given to the colonist Mr Guérini.

  Le père : But Kaid, this land belongs to my father and my ancestors.

  Le caïd : Do you have the deeds?

  Le père : What deeds? We have no documents.

  Le caïd : Without the deeds, I can't help you. You must leave.

  Le père : That's impossible. I was born here. My father was born here, like all my ancestors! My children too!

  Le caïd : You have three days to leave.

  Le père : If we leave, how would I feed my family?

  Le caïd : It's the law. I can't help it.

  [walks away] 

  La mère : [agitatedly]  Are they crazy? We have to leave our land based on what a piece of paper says? I'll die here and be buried here!

  [running towards departed policemen, shouting] 

  La mère : It's not fair! You're committing a sin! May God curse you! May God curse you! May God curse you!
