All the Colours of the World Are Between Black and White (2023) Movie Script
Raise your head.
- That?
- Raise your head.
Boss,
about what we talk about
last month...
I don't want to continue on the street.
He said that if I worked for a year,
I could become a manager.
One year ago today.
Do you have the documents?
And two passports.
It's all inside.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you, sir.
Some of your colleagues
They go to a party at Shasha.
- To a birthday party...
- I can't go.
Let me finish.
- You don't live there?
- Yes, but I have things to do.
I can't go.
Well...
Can't you afford to buy
normal matches?
Do you call this a house?
Is this the type of house
where your companions
do they bring in his wife and children?
Don't you have time to talk?
- Yes.
- Sure, what were you going to say?
I was a fool leaving
that my father would marry me to you.
If he had let me get married
with whoever I wanted...
With someone
to whoever I really wanted.
I wouldn't be here now
suffering with you.
I would be in a better place.
We fight every day.
We don't even have enough for matches!
Bambi,
good man
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
I'm sorry to bother you, but...
my husband
He's been sick for more than three days...
- He hasn't been able to work...
- How much do you need?
Whatever you can...
Whatever you can, no matter how little.
Thank you.
Oh!
My son...
I will return it to you
before the end of the month...
- Okay.
- I promise you.
The Bible says that to the one who gives
it is never lacking.
- No problem.
- Thank you, my son.
I just made 'ofe akwu' soup.
You call her 'banga',
But I call her 'ofe akwu'.
Shall I bring you a plate of 'fufu'?
No, thanks.
Very hot and spicy.
- I've already eaten.
- You'll like it.
Thank you.
I put cod in it.
You will like it.
Why don't you want
of my food, Bambi?
Not even if you were a stranger.
Well.
Thank you.
Good afternoon, madam
How are you?
The usual?
Yeah.
Look at this guy...
How tight are your pants?
Are you the one who gives
or the one who receives?
How can a guy
dress so feminine?
Please leave me!
- Are you wearing diapers?
- They broke his ass!
You are going too far!
Show us your ass!
Let's see those diapers!
One moment.
Brother.
Please,
can you put on your helmet?
If you would be so kind as to put it on.
Sorry.
Can you put yourself there?
How are you, brother?
They have brought the electricity bill...
- Okay.
- Can you cover me this month?
I will return your money
next month.
- That's what you said last month.
- But this time I'm serious.
This month will be good for me.
Haven't you seen
the new betting house on the street?
If I don't win big...
If I don't win big this month...
call me bastard
Don't you answer me?
Don't you work?
What are you doing, Ifeyinwa?
I am a prostitute...
I'm your prostitute.
Get dressed, please.
By the way,
as a prostitute you would be terrible...
Nobody would want to leave with you.
How do you know?
Have you been with a prostitute?
Well of course.
Have you been with women?
With any woman?
Yeah.
You have won.
But little...
And you can't collect it
until next week.
Hey, where's my money?
I said where is my money.
Are you trying to scam me?
You spend my money on women!
Let me ask you a question.
Have you left work
to come bother me?
to ask me
for the money you bet?
- Yes, why wouldn't I ask you?
- The money you bet!
Where is my money?
- Give me the money back!
- The money you bet?
Dude, is it here?
Hello.
What people...
Do you want to come to a house
betting and not lose money?
What do you want?
I brought you this.
Do you like them?
Do you think I'm a good photographer?
I couldn't tell you.
No. You can keep them.
They are yours.
But I have to ask you a favor.
You deliver around Lagos, right?
You must know the city.
I lost my father
in the Ikeja barracks attack.
Did the bomb kill him?
No.
He was one of the unlucky ones
who jumped into the channel
after the bomb exploded.
And your mother?
The same old story...
My uncles came,
they kicked everyone out
and they took everything.
End of story.
And you?
Well, my father didn't die.
My uncles didn't kick us out of the house.
So,
Are your parents alive?
Hmm...
No.
Yeah.
Yeah?
- No?
- Which?
Both.
My mother is dead.
And your father?
He left when I was little.
This is not worth arguing about.
Are you kidding me?
When was the last time
that you came with a gift?
We are talking
from six years ago...
I was fine
before I marry you.
You are to blame
of my problems.
Fuck you and your problems!
You are not well!
I was already supporting myself when you came
to ask me to marry him.
Whatever it is, accept it!
You are useless.
I want you to be the first.
That?
I want you to be the first.
Ifeyinwa...
Your first time should be special.
It should be with someone who
- you want.
- But, I...
With someone who loves you.
How are you?
Good.
- Thief!
- Catch him!
Bring the gas, Ahmed!
He is a criminal!
My God,
They are pouring gasoline on it!
Hit him!
Haven't you eaten it?
I'm not hungry.
I have made it for you.
I don't know what happened to me.
Us...
We don't have to talk about it.
Sure?
Yeah.
Have you...
thought about it?
AND?
Just one thing.
The fact that?
I need you back
my spare key.
I thought you had already read that one.
Bambi.
It's me, Bambi
- Good night.
- Good night.
Do you need something?
I know you are a good person...
A good man.
I know you mean well
with us
and with Ifeyinwa.
But do you already know
to the man with whom Ifeyinwa...
are you going to get married?
People see...
how it comes and goes
from your apartment...
- Do you know that walls hear?
- Yeah.
- I'm just asking you...
- I don't think it's my problem.
Good night.
HOW TO KNOW IF I AM...
I don't know what's happening.
Come on, don't be afraid.
- How are you?
- Good.
I have bought food.
I see.
I haven't seen you around here.
You've been busy.
With your...
new friend
What do you mean?
You said you were there
taking photos.
- TRUE?
- Yes, yes.
See you.
If you are thinking
which one to put yourself in...
None.
So, to that...
party in your office,
can't you carry
to a companion?
No.
What kind of party is that?
So have you been working
three days just to...
a birthday party?
Yeah.
Mm!
Perfect.
Do you want to order now?
Yeah...
Basmati rice.
Two servings.
- Is the chicken tender?
- It's well done.
You know what?
Take it off.
Bring 'amala', two wraps
and two of goat meat and...
add beef
only if it is tender.
Very good, sir.
And for you?
Rice.
Fried rice and chicken.
Very good, sir.
Well...
I have something for you.
Because?
Why not?
Why are you giving me a gift?
It's what...
people do.
Open it.
Put it on.
Excuse me.
Take them away.
Can I ask for a bowl of water
to wash my hands?
Who eats 'amala' with cutlery?
Thank you.
Do you like it?
Thank you.
Do you think we...?
Do you think we're just...?
Do you think we are
wasting time?
What are you laughing at?
You can't waste time.
time is
eternal.
Whatever we do,
time always passes.
What we can lose is...
- our life.
- You know what I mean...
- How are you, brother?
- Good.
I don't know if you know, but...
They have brought the electricity bill
of this month.
Mister?
Can you bring me a bowl of water?
- Sure, sir.
- To wash my hands.
I'm sorry.
You don't really see me,
TRUE?
We're just friends.
Do you understand?
Why don't you send them
a CD with your photos?
I have already sent it.
He didn't meet the requirements.
And why are we here?
I just want to confirm if...
everything is true.
And why are you selling the store?
should be
in a studio or gallery,
or something like that,
Not in a betting house.
I'm tired of sitting
waiting for something
that may never happen.
But I understand...
I wanted to do it too
with a girl
Well...
I tried.
It hasn't been that difficult for you.
I'm just saying...
Yeah...
If you feel like this,
so good,
It must be good.
This is for the family.
Grade A.
And this is also for the family,
but...
It is grade B.
This is for friends
and acquaintances.
Three degrees.
You can choose the one you want
depending on what you can afford.
AND...
Yeah.
Ifeyinwa...
I'm sorry.
Don't you like any?
Are you seriously doing this?
Look,
I'm here
only because my mother insisted.
You don't have to come
to my engagement party.
We're sorry.
we have found out
of what has happened.
We're sorry.
Are you going to take the medications
now or later?
You've been lucky, you know?
The doctor said that...
I had the accident,
not the doctor!
Yesterday I was in Yaba.
Most of the delivery people
They looked like you.
Why were you there?
It has come out to me
a job offer there.
To the owner of the studio
He likes the photos you...
The photos we took together.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
do you mean
that you won't be here anymore?
I'll be here until the end of the month,
when I run out
the rental contract.
I will go back there to work
next month.
Tell me a story.
Because?
my mother said
to talk about things
help carry the pain.
What happened to you here?
It's what my mother says
about the pain...
She was always angry.
Always.
After my father left...
things got worse.
I understand
that she was sad.
But she didn't understand
that my father
He had abandoned me too.
When I was seven years old,
I don't remember exactly
what I did, but...
I know I was very angry
for something unimportant.
He pushed me against the wall.
I remember that wall
because that's where I was
your wedding photo.
He picked up the iron
and pressed it against my back.
Then he said he didn't know
that was hot.
Can you turn around a little?
Wait.
Look above.
So.
Stay like this.
When will you let me take photos of you?
full body?
But if you have already made me
many photos.
You know what I mean.
Because?
Why, what?
Why did you bring me food?
Don't you want to eat?
What will the neighbors say?
What difference does it make?
Go away.
Get out of my house.
Get out of my house!
Get out of my house!
We shouldn't see each other anymore.
You've chosen the girl, right?
You are a coward.
You are worse than a coward.
I'm not like that.
Go away!
you make me...
- It's your fault!
- What is my fault?
Is it my fault?
Have I made you who you are?
Go away.
I told you to go!
Go away!
Go away.
Go away.
I told you to go!
I don't like men.
I'm not gay!
Go away!
Get out of my store!
I'm not gay! Go away!
Get out of here right now!
Go away!
Go away!
Our people say
that, normally, to a girl
They ask him who his father is...
But there comes an age
in which they begin to ask him
Who is her husband?
Look what a woman! My daughter!
A beautiful girl.
You just have to see how pretty she is.
Please! Listen everyone!
Please, I have something to say.
What does this mean?
I have accepted
take you as a husband.
And I promise to be the best wife
that a man could desire.
For that to happen,
for me to convert
in your wife,
I only put one condition.
- What is this lack of respect?
- Calm down, mother-in-law.
- Ifeyinwa!
- Mom, it's okay.
Why are you disrespecting
to your in-laws?
No problem!
- Okay, okay.
- Alright.
I say this now,
in the presence of everyone:
my family, my in-laws,
and my friends
so that they can
bear witness in the future.
I will be your wife.
I will marry you here today.
- I will have children for you.
- By the grace of God!
But,
before you will allow me,
go to study
That's all.
Are you leaving?
You've been away for three days,
you come back, you pack your bags
and you say you're leaving again.
Where are you going?
Idiot, do you want to know the truth?
The biggest problem in my life is you.
I know who I was before I met you.
But now you disrespect me.
You make a fight about anything.
I have no peace in my own house.
Despite everything I have not left you.
I'm staying!
In good times and in bad times.
Isn't that what we signed?
Is that why you want to kill me?
Go if you want.
Do you think I'm going to beg you?
The men will queue
to marry me.
Bamidele, are you really leaving?
Bamidele,
After ten years are you leaving?
- That?
- Raise your head.
Boss,

in the presence of everyone:
my family, my in-laws,
and my friends
so that they can
bear witness in the future.
I will be your wife.
I will marry you here today.
- I will have children for you.
- By the grace of God!
But,
before you will allow me,
go to study
That's all.
Are you leaving?
You've been away for three days,
you come back, you pack your bags
and you say you're leaving again.
Where are you going?
Idiot, do you want to know the truth?
The biggest problem in my life is you.
I know who I was before I met you.
But now you disrespect me.
You make a fight about anything.
I have no peace in my own house.
Despite everything I have not left you.
I'm staying!
In good times and in bad times.
Isn't that what we signed?
Is that why you want to kill me?
Go if you want.
Do you think I'm going to beg you?
The men will queue
to marry me.
Bamidele, are you really leaving?
Bamidele,
After ten years are you leaving?
