The Last Resort (2026) Movie Script
Hello, excuse me?
Away.
- Wow, wow! - So nice.
This is the most beautiful
place we have ever been to.
- You can see the sea. - Can you?
Oh. Wake me up in a week.
- Mom, I want to take a bath. - No...
-I want to swim, I want to swim.
-Yes, you do.
Come and see. Come!
- Come on, hurry up! - Yes, yes.
- Wow. Look at that. - Isn't that nice?
- Come and take a look. - Can I touch?
Oh, how beautiful it is.
- What is this pose called? - The dog pose.
A dog lifting its leg.
Woof, woof. If I were a dog...
So... I'm not a donkey. Or a draft animal.
It's full speed ahead.
-Have you seen the girls?
-Out of sight, out of mind.
It wasn't fun.
Give me your hand.
Lie down.
And close your eyes.
- So stupid. - Close your eyes.
And then you imagine...
that it's just the two of us.
Is that a bit too much?
Okay...
I've been forced to work
50 hours a week all summer.
They got to choose the
location, everything. And food.
Yes, there's been a bit of...
demand for mom from all sides.
I have really grown fond
of this type of vacation.
Yes, since I became alone.
It's a simple and straightforward
way to meet new people.
- Yes. - Yes. Cheers.
Cheers to that.
-Why do you have so many glasses?
-You don't ask that.
You might think it's because I like wine.
But that's actually just what
the doctor ordered, I'll tell you.
And the doctor, it's me!
Are you ready? Thank you.
- Thank you very much. - What is your name?
- Pedro. What's your name? - Ella.
- Ella. And you? - Herring.
-Beautiful name. Do you speak Spanish?
-No.
No? It's easy. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Did you see that?
Go on sleeping, you.
- Herring? - I have to pee.
Sure, honey.
Will.
Will!
I'm coming.
I'm coming!
- Look, an animal. - A crab.
Don't you think she's gotten a little thin?
No. You would also
need a little more depth.
Does she even seem happy?
And?
Is it a mother full of guilty
conscience that I hear?
Don't you think you just
need to relax properly?
What do you think, honey?
Here? I can sense that you're all tense.
They are sleeping.
What is happening?
I'm so sorry. I didn't see you.
- How bad is it? - It's bleeding.
-Do we have any clean paper or water?
-I don't think so.
- Did we hit him? - Just sit still, okay?
- I have to go to camp? - Where is it?
-Behind the mountain, they said.
-We'll help you.
We'll help you get to the hospital first.
Okay.
Can you check where it is located?
There are 17 minutes left.
- Ahmad, where are you from? - Afghanistan.
It must have been a long journey.
- Okay, hands...? - Beaver.
Sorry, I don't know about Kunduz.
-He smells. Do you feel it too?
-No, Ella!
We come from Denmark.
Do you know Denmark?
Yes. You were in ISAF.
In Afghanistan. With NATO.
Yeah. Yes. Of course.
Are you okay?
I don't know if you're hungry?
Here are some meatballs.
If you're hungry, we'll leave them here.
As far as I understand, there
is a five-hour waiting time.
The girls are completely exhausted.
They are about to fall asleep.
Yes... But if I stay here,
you can go home with them.
I can stay too. I would... like to stay.
It makes the most sense for me to stay.
Ahmad, Louise is taking the kids
back to the hotel. I'll stay with you.
- Don't stop. - It's okay...
Go, please.
Do we have anything to write with?
Tack.
This is our hotel, and here is my number.
We will do everything we can to help you.
I'm really sorry. If you want to
report it, the police will find me...
No police. Just go.
Do you have any cash on
you? Do you have anything?
I haven't had time to
take anything out yet.
Take them, please.
Let me know if you need any help, okay?
Hello there.
Has he broken his leg?
We don't know. We hope not.
Can I have the last meatballs?
-They gave them to that Ahmad.
-But I'm hungry.
-Okay, Louise. What is it?
-Sorry. It's not funny, girls.
Mom is just a little tired.
Do you think it's funny? Honestly?
The best.
No, no.
- It's not funny. - No, it's not funny.
- I didn't like him. - No.
He has been on a long and tough journey.
-All the way from Afghanistan to here.
-He was ugly too.
Ella, you can't say
that about other people.
You actually don't get that.
Or what, darling?
No, no, no.
I really need it. Just tonight.
No screens on vacation.
That's what we said.
-But why are we bringing it with us then?
-Now you're going to sleep, friends.
-Why are we bringing it then?
-It's too late.
Sleep well.
Hello!
Hey, sweetie.
- Hello. - Hello.
Look, it's Pedro.
He has a girlfriend!
Pedro!
Hello.
Come on. Get on the bus, everyone.
Where are they going?
I actually don't know, friend.
Do you need anything?
Is the baby okay? Okay.
There is no system to accommodate
everyone. Just us volunteers.
Yeah, that must be... pretty brutal?
It is actually also an amazing experience.
They have left everything they have.
They are dehydrated and exhausted.
Some have infections and trauma.
But when they get off the boats...
They are so happy and
relieved and full of hope.
Being able to stand there and say:
"Welcome to Europe" feels good.
Relax your facial muscles.
Please look upwards.
Look up if you can. You can do it.
Yes, enjoy it. Find the balance.
A little to one side.
And then a little on
the other side. Slowly.
Slow down. Stay in control.
I'm thinking about how he's doing.
-Ella, don't take any more now.
-Yes, but, look at him.
It's probably because his
parents aren't watching.
Mom says I can have as
much ice cream as I want.
No, Ella, honey. That's enough, huh?
- Hello, my friends. - Good evening, Nico.
-Are you enjoying your vacation?
-Very much.
Nico, can you find us a
nice bottle of Rioja Alto?
-And a ros for the ladies?
-I'll see what I can do.
You're right. He's not himself.
We've been coming here for many
years and have never seen him so stressed.
Migrants are a big problem.
The island lives off tourism.
-There have been many cancellations.
-And then a recession on top of that.
People think that the Spanish are lazy
and swimming around in tourists' money.
- But they work hard. - Yes, of course.
We didn't know it was such a
big problem here on the island.
Nobody talks about it. They
get no help from the mainland.
- But now we're here on vacation. - Yes.
And you, Mikkel? What are you doing?
I am a high school teacher.
I teach English and history.
Lene might be able to
teach you some Spanish.
Well, yes... It's always good to know.
Louise, what are you doing?
I am an office manager
at the Ministry of Health.
Oh well. We're talking to one of
those who have power in Denmark.
Yes, be careful what you say.
-Ellamus, where are you going?
-I'm getting food for the cat.
Cats... We actually have
a cat problem in Norway.
They pee everywhere.
Fight. Kill small birds.
But I've found an ultrasonic device.
It makes a high-pitched sound.
Which keeps them away
and which people cannot hear.
Imagine if it worked on Africans.
You could place them around the island, and
then they would hurry home to Bongoland.
To...?
I'm sorry for his bad humor.
Oh, yes. Thank you.
Perfect.
-Thank you very much, Nico.
-It was so little.
That's good, thank you.
Imagine if we had to eat with
our Norwegian friends every night.
No, damn it. You thought he
was kind of funny, didn't you?
-Especially the racist joke.
-It wasn't funny that way.
Do you want a macho
man? Is that what you want?
- Maybe? - Dad?
- Who can... - Yes?
We are coming now.
What's wrong with you?
- What is it? - Are you waiting for us?
Hi, Ahmad.
- How are you? - We've been very worried.
-I need help.
-Why aren't you at the hospital?
Didn't you get help there?
Ouch, ouch. That's not good.
They did this... and sent
me out onto the street.
Can't Paul watch this?
I'll be right back.
Where are we going somewhere?
- Hey! - Stop it.
I'm waiting for my friend.
-Don't you understand...
-Listen, stop! What are you doing?
-His kind are not welcome here.
-He is my guest. He is injured.
-We could get fined.
-Nonsense. He's my patient.
-I'm a doctor, are you a doctor, perhaps?
-Paul.
I'll show him out myself, okay?
Okay. This way.
We'll find a bathroom
and look at your wound.
Excuse me?
- Excuse me? - Yes. Can I help you?
-The toilets are for guests only.
-Who would notice?
- Paul, come on. - That's ridiculous.
- I'm trying to help him. - We're leaving.
- Is he going to lose his leg? - Paul!
- Crazy. - We're leaving now.
- Go. - Yes, yes. We're going.
- Go. - You should be ashamed of yourself.
They should have given
him antibiotics. And crutches.
Our friend is a terribly bad driver.
We should teach him to drive.
Okay. Okay.
I'll be back. Damn...
He's a little drunk.
I apologize for what happened in there.
It's okay. It's normal. It's a
nice place for rich people.
So... I'm actually just a teacher.
You must be a good teacher.
In Denmark, many people
go on vacations like this.
- I'm also a teacher. - Okay?
Where do you want to
travel? What are your plans?
The accident was very bad for my plans.
I want to go to the mainland.
And then to Germany.
But I lack the papers to travel from
the island and seek asylum, it takes time.
- Do you have family in Germany? - No.
I'll travel first and find a job.
The family will come later.
- Gentlemen. - Finally, our Swedish doctor.
Here's my... medicine.
It may sting a little.
They're unlikely to give him any medicine.
No, exactly that.
- Can you print it out for me? - Yes, yes.
- No, no! - Why not?
It's illegal. The police.
- But we're going to the pharmacy... - No.
Fifty extra?
Hundred?
Michael!
-Where's our taxi?
-He threw me out and ran.
- What an idiot. - Yes.
-Can you get to the camp from here?
-Yes, no problem.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
-I'll come with you.
-Go home to your family.
Okay. I bought...
Disinfectant. For the leg.
Here's some gauze. Painkillers.
And antibiotics. Take the full
course and take one tablet every day...
I know.
Yes. Of course.
This is probably all you need to...
Well, then... Good luck on your journey.
Thank you, Michael.
Ahmad, wait.
Please, take this.
Please.
Tack.
We really want to help
him. It's actually our fault.
Don't let him get too close. And
don't give him money, we did.
It's a bottomless hole.
Isn't he Moroccan?
We've had Syrian refugees
here. But no Afghans.
He's not Moroccan. He's from Kunduz.
-He is definitely Afghan.
-Then he has the right to asylum.
Not like the Africans. They seek happiness.
Moroccan refugees do not sit next
to those from sub-Saharan Africa.
They are terribly racist.
Hello.
How did it go yesterday?
Were you out all night?
-Yes. It was a bit of an adventure.
-Was it?
But I arranged for him to get
medicine. And then I gave him 500 euros.
Okay.
- Was it too much? Too little? - No, it...
No, it's not... It's just... Yes.
I was just talking to
those... Malou and Tina.
Oh Ahmad?
They say you shouldn't
give the refugees money.
When did we agree to
talk to others about this?
Especially that saved mother-daughter duo.
"Saved", I don't know.
At least they're doing
something. We're doing nothing.
I would have gladly given him
asylum and a job in Germany.
No, but... It's not just
about Ahmad, is it?
So, listen now...
There have been refugee
crises for hundreds of years.
- Yes, I know that. - And it's tragic.
-We can't feel guilty about that.
-I don't either.
-It seems that way. Or is it?
-Damn, you're annoying.
Okay?
But do you think he'll make it?
- Isn't it cute, our cat? - Yes. Very cute.
But that's not our cat.
Look, it's wearing a collar.
-So it lives at someone's house.
-What kind of letters are those?
It's... Arabic, maybe.
It could be a runaway cat. If the
family drowned on the way here.
No, I don't think so.
It's probably just lost.
-Can't we take it home?
-No, no. We're not getting a cat.
But who will take care
of it when we leave, then?
The cat is doing great here.
He has vacation all year round.
Then other kind children come
and feed it and cuddle with it.
Isn't it funny when they
jump around like that?
-What are you going to do tomorrow?
-Tomorrow?
-Do you have any plans?
-We don't know yet.
Good. We would love
to take you on a boat trip.
A lagoon on the other side of
the island. Catering, all inclusive.
The kids would love it.
They have so much fun
together. Almost like siblings.
That... Wow, that sounds amazing. Really.
- I'll just check with Mikkel. - Do it.
Okay.
Sure yes. Yes, I didn't know that.
But Mikkel has already
made plans for the family. Yes.
Unfortunately.
You don't have to pay
anything. We'll bid. Of course.
Well? That was very generous of you.
- But we've booked a ruin tour. - A...?
We've booked a ruin walk
tomorrow! We're going to see the ruins.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
-Yes. So... unfortunately.
-That's how it is.
Now we're shaking! Shake, shake.
I'm just saying... The
girls are going to hate you.
We hate that you said
no. I say that for all of us.
-They don't need to know...
-Who can handle a ruin walk?
-I can't do it. Nobody can.
-I just made that up.
-Yeah? Wow.
-We're not going on a ruin tour.
-Did you lie? Can you do that?
-Yes, but I'm not proud of it.
That was the first time you
lied so much that I believed it.
You know what? Those Norwegians
with their oil money and spoiled kids.
- I don't care. - They can't buy me.
- I want to go on a lake trip. - Seriously?
Yes, I don't care about
them. I just want...
- Go boating with them? - You want to too.
I don't want that at all!
What is that?
Hello?
Hello?
Oh, poor homeless children lying here.
Too bad we don't have room for them.
- Hello. - Hello!
Michael?
-Hello, my friend.
-Hello. Is everything okay?
Still not good. I just
want to say thank you.
- It was so little. - Yes.
I'm very thirsty. I've
walked a long way. Water?
Yes. Of course. Come in.
You're welcome here. Come in.
- You're welcome. - Thank you.
- And sit down if you want. - Thank you.
I'm sorry we don't have any
food. I can call the restaurant.
No, thanks.
I actually have... Wait a minute.
Lite snacks.
-Do you want more water? No?
-That's good.
Are you just going to stand there, or what?
Can I take a picture for my wife?
I've told her about my new Danish friend.
- Yes, of course. - All together?
Now let's take a picture, shall we?
Great. I'll send it to you.
- What is your name? - My name is Sille.
- Can you tell me your name? - Ella.
- How old are you? - I'm 11. She's 6.
Mashallah.
- Wow. - Do you learn that in school?
I also have four beautiful daughters.
-But not as beautiful as yours.
-Thank you.
I have three daughters now.
Here. I'll show them to you.
Come on, friend.
We'll see.
Look, those are his daughters.
I had to leave them in
Khorasan, Afghanistan.
We didn't have enough money
for everyone to cross the border.
They've been there for three
months without me, without protection.
- I'm worried. - What does he say?
This is my school in Kunduz.
- An all-girls school. - He was a teacher.
One day the Taliban came to school.
They threatened the girls and beat me.
Girls are not allowed to
go to school, they said.
Sahra, my eldest, said it's
their right as Muslim Afghans.
They told her to shut up.
She was fearless, my Sahra.
And he grabbed her and...
He...
Did they kill her?
Come on, friend. We're going in over here.
We're going in here.
He's so sad. Come.
She was so young.
Can you be a good big
sister and stay here with Ella?
- Yes. I'll be right back. - Okay.
I'll be right back.
What are you doing?
- Sorry I scared your girls. - Take this.
-To your family. I'm sorry.
-Thank you. You're good people.
I'm opening.
- Damn, what a fate. - Yes.
He's completely traumatized by that.
I don't know how else we could help him.
I know it's our money and
you've earned most of it.
I'm coming now, okay?
Yes. Come on, friend. Now
we're going in and going to bed.
What are you thinking about?
I don't know...
I just got such an uncomfortable feeling.
You don't believe him?
No, I'm just thinking that...
If you're on the run, you probably
do what you can to survive.
Yes, but no one... can
pretend to feel that way, right?
The best.
The most...
But don't you think it's strange
how he gets around the island?
With that leg?
And?
- Honey, shouldn't we go to the sea? - No.
- I want to too. - Yes, yes. But now...
We'll do it when we get back.
-Yes, it looks fun.
-But then it would be...
- Excuse me. - What's going on?
They must have been in a hurry.
Don't worry, we're here to help.
Get your kids out of the water!
Stop taking photos now!
Mercedes, I respect what you
do. But not in front of our guests.
They've been at sea for over a
week. Get them food and water.
Here.
- I'm a doctor. - Are you okay?
Make room, please.
Go up to the restaurant.
Go up to the restaurant. Go
up to the restaurant, please.
Go to the restaurant, please.
Could you please go to the restaurant?
-I don't want to be here anymore.
-I understand.
Can I have your attention?
I am pleased to announce that
the woman who had fainted...
was picked up by an ambulance
and is now receiving medical attention.
I deeply regret this chaos.
It is the first boat on our beach.
But in an hour everything
will be back to normal.
Listen to what he wants
before he shows up again.
For those interested, the bus tour
to the ruins will proceed as planned-
-in fifteen minutes from the
reception. Thank you very much.
-Answer so he doesn't continue.
-Is it Ahmad?
Today we delve into the
history of the Guanches.
The original people who
lived here before the Spaniards.
Try to imagine how they lived in
isolation here for thousands of years.
It's a story of survival-
-and a tragic turning point, when the Spanish
conquered the island in the 15th century.
To the right you saw the island's unofficial
and completely overcrowded refugee camp.
-What the hell?
-We have to tell the whole story.
Okay. Excuse me.
The Guanches were
tall, blond and blue-eyed.
Scientists believe that the Guanches may
be descended from the Cro-Magnon people...
Can't you send a text message
and say we'll call tomorrow?
Say we're on a trip.
Wouldn't that be okay?
- Shouldn't we go home now? - Yes.
Very soon, Ellamus. There is one ruin left.
-I just want to go home to the pool.
-We can't go home now.
You could probably call a taxi.
No. Ella-Bella, now we're going
to the bus, with mom and Sille.
-You'll get an ice cream when you get home.
-Come on, my friend.
We do as mom says.
We have to go. I can't handle this.
Listen to me, that's enough.
You follow me when I say it.
Okay. As long as I'm an adult, I'm
the one who decides. Are you in?
- I control my body! - Yes, but...
- Ella! - Ella, damn it!
Come here now. Stop, stop, stop!
- Let me go, let me go! - Stop this.
- Let me go! - Stop it now.
Just breathe. Everything is fine.
No, no, no.
Down on the floor, down on the floor!
They're tourists, you stupid pigs!
Make them stop breaking the bus.
I drive tourists. See for yourself!
What do you want? What's going on?
- Sorry. - Sorry? Get out!
Fucking fascist pigs. What
are you doing with them?
- Calm down. - Idiot!
Wasn't that Pedro from the hotel?
- Who's your dad? - Okay, okay.
- Get lost! - Go to hell.
I'm sorry.
The fascist pigs from the mainland
think we're transporting refugees.
But everything is under control.
Paloma? We'll continue. Good.
What does it mean that Pedro is a fascist?
There...
Fascists do not believe that
all people have equal value.
They think they are the strongest
and have the right to decide.
But why would they want to
hit someone they don't know?
To...
Yes, because they are racists.
- Mikkel, Mikkel! - Yes? Huh?
- He's here on the terrace! - Huh?
That damn stalker!
I need help. I tried calling.
-Yes, but... didn't you get my texts?
-You're my only friend.
Can't you help me?
-Quiet. The girls are sleeping.
-The smugglers...
They took my family away. They
grabbed my wife and beat her.
I have to pay them
more. I have to save them.
His family is kidnapped
by human traffickers...
I thought the money would be
enough to get them to Turkey or Iran.
But now they say it's not enough.
-How much?
-5,000 euros will get them all the way here.
I'll go to Germany, get a job and pay back.
-What are you thinking?
-He can't look me in the eye.
Look here. For each part of the
journey, you pay a new smuggler.
600 at the border. So maybe
1,000 or more in Iran, Turkey, Izmir...
-Weren't they kidnapped?
-The mountain road is cheap, but dangerous.
-Mikkel, that doesn't add up.
-The car is more expensive.
-Ahmad, give us a moment.
-He has already received 1,200 euros.
That will be over 6,000 in total.
-Almost 50,000 Danish kroner.
-If the family is kidnapped...
- Is it our fault? - You don't believe me?
Why is he talking about borders?
That's no more money than
we spend on vacation in a year.
Do you seriously believe him?
I'll give you the account number.
He can transfer the money.
- It's a scam. - We don't know!
You're terrible at making
unpleasant decisions.
-Mikkel, I have to save my family.
-Tell him to leave now.
- Now! - Mikkel. The smugglers...
- I don't know what they'll do... - Mikkel!
Ahmad, listen here...
What if someone beat your
wife and took your daughters?
-You're going to leave. Get out!
-Don't you understand?
Mikkel! What are you doing? Huh?
Ahmad, please go now.
You say you want to help.
But you're lying, you're not good.
- Hey, girls. - Hey.
What is happening?
We are not waiting for him to come
back and are even more desperate.
- Are you on your way home? - We're moving.
Are we moving? Where then?
There must be a free room somewhere, right?
So now we're moving.
I have to help the
volunteers today. I have to.
-Excuse me, huh?
-I can't stand being here.
Lying by the pool and pretending like
nothing is happening, I'm going crazy.
- So I'll do it. - Okay.
Is it Ahmad or yourself
that you feel most sorry for?
You are the most
schizophrenic person I know.
I'm packing. You're
selfish. The children, then?
-They won't die because I'm gone.
-No, they've done that before.
- Why are you arguing? - Hey, girls.
We're not arguing, my
friend. We're not, we...
Now listen. Mom has to help
the refugees for a few hours.
In the meantime, you guys play here
with Dad and have fun in the pool, okay?
Should we say that?
Okay! Now listen, everyone.
Listen now, everyone!
Up on the sidewalk.
Now listen. The camp is 60 kilometers
away, on the other side of the mountain.
A bus will come and pick you
up, but we don't know when.
Stay here. We don't
want any accidents. Right?
Stop picking up their trash.
Otherwise, they leave a trail of
garbage behind them across Europe.
-Yes, but...
-Leave it alone. And watch the road.
Everyone, get on the
sidewalk. Let the car pass.
I don't understand the
point of this vacation.
Can't we just go home?
Ellamus? Come on. We'll go and
have breakfast before they close.
She?
She...
Okay, Ella? Now you unlock the
door and come out. Are you with me?
Okay. I'll go ahead. Then you
can come whenever you want.
Can I sit here for a moment?
Can I apply for a job
in this parcel business?
- I think Mom is stupid. - Yes.
I think so too sometimes.
But mom isn't stupid. Or is she, my friend?
She just wants to help people
who are having a hard time.
Come on.
-Yeah, this is where you're hiding.
-Can't we take the cat home?
-Sweet Ella, we've discussed that.
-I'm not sweet.
Can't we call the family
so they can come home?
Yes, I can try that.
Is there a phone number on it?
39... 12... 34...
45... 67.
Yeah, that... that's just
an answering machine.
Then we have to bring it home to Denmark.
You can't just take a cat to another
country. You're not allowed to.
-Excuse me, you have to get out of the way.
-Be firm. You, get out of the way!
Telephone?
- Where can I call? - Do you need to call?
My mom hasn't heard from me in a week.
- Where is your mother? - Senegal. Dakar.
Okay.
I have...
You can borrow my phone.
But stay here. Stay here.
-Are you his brothers? Are you with him?
-No.
You don't know him?
Tack.
-Are those your brothers?
-No, I'll take care of them.
There was a teenage boy and two
younger boys here. I don't know...
They should not be left alone.
Make sure they are with adult relatives.
- Otherwise, you bring them to me. - Okay.
Hello, hello. Okay, okay, okay!
Go ahead.
-Does anyone speak English?
-Why isn't the bus here?
Are you related to the boys?
How do you know them?
-From the village.
-From the village? Where then?
Mauritania.
But they are from Senegal. So...
Friends.
You, come with me, okay? A
Spanish woman will take care of you.
- No. - She will help you all.
No. Friends. Friend.
Do you like him? Do you want to adopt?
Adopt me. Take me to
Europe. Take me to Europe.
Take these, okay? And be careful.
- Please stay together. - No problem.
Hey, girls.
We have to take the cat home...
because the family may have drowned.
Yeah? Okay, so you have...
We have been to a vet and it
has been given an EU passport.
- Look, there it is. - It likes this.
How lucky the cat is.
Yes.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm sorry about this morning
and about that damn cat.
This is really going to hell.
This is just a party cigarette. I
haven't started smoking again.
I really don't know what I had imagined.
Not?
It was just these kids that I... Yeah.
Really wanted to...
-Dad, Sille doesn't want to share the cat.
-Not right now.
It's going well. You go.
-What is it?
-Sille doesn't want to share the cat.
-Pee, pee, pee.
-You can run after it outside.
- Ouch. - Good morning.
- Are you okay? - My neck hurts really bad.
We have to do something about it.
Ella, the cat is tired. Let it
go now. No Ella, stop now.
-You see. Typical of you.
-Ouch! Careful, honey.
Calm, calm. Careful.
Damn it. So yeah, can I see?
So, yes.
Can I look? But damn.
That's what I said. So yeah.
Can you make it a little harder
here? A little deeper. Thank you.
Fan.
A little harder, please.
-Mikkel here. Leave a message.
-Where are you? I've seen Ahmad.
Michael?
Why aren't you answering?
Where are the girls?
-They're... were here. Calm down.
-Ahmad is here.
I saw him by our old room. He could run.
-Has he called you?
-No. I've blocked him.
-I don't like this.
-Now let's take it easy.
- Now we find the girls. - Yes.
Sille and Ella?
Excuse me. Hello. Have
you seen our daughters?
- Two girls? - I just got here.
William saw a dark man with a beard
who wanted to take Sille and Ella with him.
- Right now? - Fifteen minutes ago.
William is afraid of strangers and
came to pick me up. But they had left.
Did you see which way they
went? Did they say anything?
-Do you know who it is?
-It's someone we ran into.
- Did you hit it? - Yes, I happened to...
-Then he wanted to borrow a lot of money.
-Can he hurt the girls?
-I really hope not.
-So yeah. Calm and nice.
Go to mom, and I'll help Mikkel and Louise.
You start searching here
and down towards the beach.
I'll take the area towards the reception
and get hold of Nico. We'll find them.
- That! - Ella!
Sille and Ella!
- Sille and Ella! - Ella!
Will!
Will!
- Her! - Her!
To her! Ella!
- Hello? - Excuse me?
For her? Ella?
Will?
Excuse me, have you seen two girls? Six and
eleven years old, with a dark-skinned man?
There are only children here.
Oh no.
- So... - I don't like this.
- It's him. - Answer.
-Ahmad, where are you?
-What is he saying?
Hello?
- Ahmad! - There!
Ahmad!
- To that! - Mikkel.
-I can't get a hold of my wife.
-Where are they?
-What have you done to our children?
-I have to pay...
- What have you done? - What do you think?
Do you think I cut their throats?
Where are they?
Mikkel! Help!
Michael!
Help!
Kim, come!
- Here! Hurry up! - Where are they?
Louise! Mikkel, what are you doing?
-Stop it, Mikkel! Stop it!
-Where are they?
That's enough! That's enough!
-Have you gone completely crazy?
-And this one is for...
-Pedro, what are you doing?
-He's not supposed to be here.
- Not in front of our guests. - Come on.
Michael!
Are you feeling well?
What are they doing with him?
I'm sorry. If there's anything I can
do for you, you have to let me know.
I was so scared. We were so scared
that he had done something to you.
Why would he have done anything to us?
He just wanted help finding you.
Are you racist?
No, of course I'm not racist.
Hello.
I just think he's taken so much beating.
-Good morning. How are you?
-What happened to the refugee?
They gave him a warning and showed him out.
-He won't come back here.
-But we have to find him.
Honestly... I don't know where he is.
Now just take it easy and
enjoy your last day, okay?
Good morning.
Go ahead. And go ahead.
The house invites.
- Thank you. - No reason.
- Oh, it's delicious. - Why did we get it?
- Come on, girls. - But...
-We just got them.
-We'll drink them later. Come on, friend.
Excuse me, English?
Is there an office here? Administration?
-Should we ask over there?
-Yes. Come on, friend.
Are you there?
- I have to pee. - Do you have to pee?
I don't think so, friend.
Hey, look here. Paul.
- Hello! - What are you doing here?
I've asked myself that many
times too. But I'm a doctor, so...
-What are you doing here?
-We're looking for Ahmad.
He was kicked out of the resort yesterday
in a rather... unfortunate manner.
Do you know where we can ask for him?
There are hundreds of people
here. No one is registered.
We have a picture of him.
-Can I show it?
-No, my friend. We're talking now.
You can ask yourself.
Most are Moroccans and West Africans.
Try to find out where the Syrians live.
You girls can be my
assistants for so long, right?
- Yes. - It'll be fine.
It's not an amusement park, exactly.
Excuse me, have you seen this man?
Ahmad. You haven't seen him?
Come with me.
Excuse me.
Okay.
Hello. Do you recognize him?
Perhaps.
- How do you know him? - He's a friend.
I hope he's still around.
This?
Ahmad?
I'm sorry.
Can we stop here?
Hello.
Not closer.
Can I wear it?
Yes, of course.
Come now, friend. It's time, come.
- Can you help me carry it? - Yes.

Away.
- Wow, wow! - So nice.
This is the most beautiful
place we have ever been to.
- You can see the sea. - Can you?
Oh. Wake me up in a week.
- Mom, I want to take a bath. - No...
-I want to swim, I want to swim.
-Yes, you do.
Come and see. Come!
- Come on, hurry up! - Yes, yes.
- Wow. Look at that. - Isn't that nice?
- Come and take a look. - Can I touch?
Oh, how beautiful it is.
- What is this pose called? - The dog pose.
A dog lifting its leg.
Woof, woof. If I were a dog...
So... I'm not a donkey. Or a draft animal.
It's full speed ahead.
-Have you seen the girls?
-Out of sight, out of mind.
It wasn't fun.
Give me your hand.
Lie down.
And close your eyes.
- So stupid. - Close your eyes.
And then you imagine...
that it's just the two of us.
Is that a bit too much?
Okay...
I've been forced to work
50 hours a week all summer.
They got to choose the
location, everything. And food.
Yes, there's been a bit of...
demand for mom from all sides.
I have really grown fond
of this type of vacation.
Yes, since I became alone.
It's a simple and straightforward
way to meet new people.
- Yes. - Yes. Cheers.
Cheers to that.
-Why do you have so many glasses?
-You don't ask that.
You might think it's because I like wine.
But that's actually just what
the doctor ordered, I'll tell you.
And the doctor, it's me!
Are you ready? Thank you.
- Thank you very much. - What is your name?
- Pedro. What's your name? - Ella.
- Ella. And you? - Herring.
-Beautiful name. Do you speak Spanish?
-No.
No? It's easy. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Did you see that?
Go on sleeping, you.
- Herring? - I have to pee.
Sure, honey.
Will.
Will!
I'm coming.
I'm coming!
- Look, an animal. - A crab.
Don't you think she's gotten a little thin?
No. You would also
need a little more depth.
Does she even seem happy?
And?
Is it a mother full of guilty
conscience that I hear?
Don't you think you just
need to relax properly?
What do you think, honey?
Here? I can sense that you're all tense.
They are sleeping.
What is happening?
I'm so sorry. I didn't see you.
- How bad is it? - It's bleeding.
-Do we have any clean paper or water?
-I don't think so.
- Did we hit him? - Just sit still, okay?
- I have to go to camp? - Where is it?
-Behind the mountain, they said.
-We'll help you.
We'll help you get to the hospital first.
Okay.
Can you check where it is located?
There are 17 minutes left.
- Ahmad, where are you from? - Afghanistan.
It must have been a long journey.
- Okay, hands...? - Beaver.
Sorry, I don't know about Kunduz.
-He smells. Do you feel it too?
-No, Ella!
We come from Denmark.
Do you know Denmark?
Yes. You were in ISAF.
In Afghanistan. With NATO.
Yeah. Yes. Of course.
Are you okay?
I don't know if you're hungry?
Here are some meatballs.
If you're hungry, we'll leave them here.
As far as I understand, there
is a five-hour waiting time.
The girls are completely exhausted.
They are about to fall asleep.
Yes... But if I stay here,
you can go home with them.
I can stay too. I would... like to stay.
It makes the most sense for me to stay.
Ahmad, Louise is taking the kids
back to the hotel. I'll stay with you.
- Don't stop. - It's okay...
Go, please.
Do we have anything to write with?
Tack.
This is our hotel, and here is my number.
We will do everything we can to help you.
I'm really sorry. If you want to
report it, the police will find me...
No police. Just go.
Do you have any cash on
you? Do you have anything?
I haven't had time to
take anything out yet.
Take them, please.
Let me know if you need any help, okay?
Hello there.
Has he broken his leg?
We don't know. We hope not.
Can I have the last meatballs?
-They gave them to that Ahmad.
-But I'm hungry.
-Okay, Louise. What is it?
-Sorry. It's not funny, girls.
Mom is just a little tired.
Do you think it's funny? Honestly?
The best.
No, no.
- It's not funny. - No, it's not funny.
- I didn't like him. - No.
He has been on a long and tough journey.
-All the way from Afghanistan to here.
-He was ugly too.
Ella, you can't say
that about other people.
You actually don't get that.
Or what, darling?
No, no, no.
I really need it. Just tonight.
No screens on vacation.
That's what we said.
-But why are we bringing it with us then?
-Now you're going to sleep, friends.
-Why are we bringing it then?
-It's too late.
Sleep well.
Hello!
Hey, sweetie.
- Hello. - Hello.
Look, it's Pedro.
He has a girlfriend!
Pedro!
Hello.
Come on. Get on the bus, everyone.
Where are they going?
I actually don't know, friend.
Do you need anything?
Is the baby okay? Okay.
There is no system to accommodate
everyone. Just us volunteers.
Yeah, that must be... pretty brutal?
It is actually also an amazing experience.
They have left everything they have.
They are dehydrated and exhausted.
Some have infections and trauma.
But when they get off the boats...
They are so happy and
relieved and full of hope.
Being able to stand there and say:
"Welcome to Europe" feels good.
Relax your facial muscles.
Please look upwards.
Look up if you can. You can do it.
Yes, enjoy it. Find the balance.
A little to one side.
And then a little on
the other side. Slowly.
Slow down. Stay in control.
I'm thinking about how he's doing.
-Ella, don't take any more now.
-Yes, but, look at him.
It's probably because his
parents aren't watching.
Mom says I can have as
much ice cream as I want.
No, Ella, honey. That's enough, huh?
- Hello, my friends. - Good evening, Nico.
-Are you enjoying your vacation?
-Very much.
Nico, can you find us a
nice bottle of Rioja Alto?
-And a ros for the ladies?
-I'll see what I can do.
You're right. He's not himself.
We've been coming here for many
years and have never seen him so stressed.
Migrants are a big problem.
The island lives off tourism.
-There have been many cancellations.
-And then a recession on top of that.
People think that the Spanish are lazy
and swimming around in tourists' money.
- But they work hard. - Yes, of course.
We didn't know it was such a
big problem here on the island.
Nobody talks about it. They
get no help from the mainland.
- But now we're here on vacation. - Yes.
And you, Mikkel? What are you doing?
I am a high school teacher.
I teach English and history.
Lene might be able to
teach you some Spanish.
Well, yes... It's always good to know.
Louise, what are you doing?
I am an office manager
at the Ministry of Health.
Oh well. We're talking to one of
those who have power in Denmark.
Yes, be careful what you say.
-Ellamus, where are you going?
-I'm getting food for the cat.
Cats... We actually have
a cat problem in Norway.
They pee everywhere.
Fight. Kill small birds.
But I've found an ultrasonic device.
It makes a high-pitched sound.
Which keeps them away
and which people cannot hear.
Imagine if it worked on Africans.
You could place them around the island, and
then they would hurry home to Bongoland.
To...?
I'm sorry for his bad humor.
Oh, yes. Thank you.
Perfect.
-Thank you very much, Nico.
-It was so little.
That's good, thank you.
Imagine if we had to eat with
our Norwegian friends every night.
No, damn it. You thought he
was kind of funny, didn't you?
-Especially the racist joke.
-It wasn't funny that way.
Do you want a macho
man? Is that what you want?
- Maybe? - Dad?
- Who can... - Yes?
We are coming now.
What's wrong with you?
- What is it? - Are you waiting for us?
Hi, Ahmad.
- How are you? - We've been very worried.
-I need help.
-Why aren't you at the hospital?
Didn't you get help there?
Ouch, ouch. That's not good.
They did this... and sent
me out onto the street.
Can't Paul watch this?
I'll be right back.
Where are we going somewhere?
- Hey! - Stop it.
I'm waiting for my friend.
-Don't you understand...
-Listen, stop! What are you doing?
-His kind are not welcome here.
-He is my guest. He is injured.
-We could get fined.
-Nonsense. He's my patient.
-I'm a doctor, are you a doctor, perhaps?
-Paul.
I'll show him out myself, okay?
Okay. This way.
We'll find a bathroom
and look at your wound.
Excuse me?
- Excuse me? - Yes. Can I help you?
-The toilets are for guests only.
-Who would notice?
- Paul, come on. - That's ridiculous.
- I'm trying to help him. - We're leaving.
- Is he going to lose his leg? - Paul!
- Crazy. - We're leaving now.
- Go. - Yes, yes. We're going.
- Go. - You should be ashamed of yourself.
They should have given
him antibiotics. And crutches.
Our friend is a terribly bad driver.
We should teach him to drive.
Okay. Okay.
I'll be back. Damn...
He's a little drunk.
I apologize for what happened in there.
It's okay. It's normal. It's a
nice place for rich people.
So... I'm actually just a teacher.
You must be a good teacher.
In Denmark, many people
go on vacations like this.
- I'm also a teacher. - Okay?
Where do you want to
travel? What are your plans?
The accident was very bad for my plans.
I want to go to the mainland.
And then to Germany.
But I lack the papers to travel from
the island and seek asylum, it takes time.
- Do you have family in Germany? - No.
I'll travel first and find a job.
The family will come later.
- Gentlemen. - Finally, our Swedish doctor.
Here's my... medicine.
It may sting a little.
They're unlikely to give him any medicine.
No, exactly that.
- Can you print it out for me? - Yes, yes.
- No, no! - Why not?
It's illegal. The police.
- But we're going to the pharmacy... - No.
Fifty extra?
Hundred?
Michael!
-Where's our taxi?
-He threw me out and ran.
- What an idiot. - Yes.
-Can you get to the camp from here?
-Yes, no problem.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
-I'll come with you.
-Go home to your family.
Okay. I bought...
Disinfectant. For the leg.
Here's some gauze. Painkillers.
And antibiotics. Take the full
course and take one tablet every day...
I know.
Yes. Of course.
This is probably all you need to...
Well, then... Good luck on your journey.
Thank you, Michael.
Ahmad, wait.
Please, take this.
Please.
Tack.
We really want to help
him. It's actually our fault.
Don't let him get too close. And
don't give him money, we did.
It's a bottomless hole.
Isn't he Moroccan?
We've had Syrian refugees
here. But no Afghans.
He's not Moroccan. He's from Kunduz.
-He is definitely Afghan.
-Then he has the right to asylum.
Not like the Africans. They seek happiness.
Moroccan refugees do not sit next
to those from sub-Saharan Africa.
They are terribly racist.
Hello.
How did it go yesterday?
Were you out all night?
-Yes. It was a bit of an adventure.
-Was it?
But I arranged for him to get
medicine. And then I gave him 500 euros.
Okay.
- Was it too much? Too little? - No, it...
No, it's not... It's just... Yes.
I was just talking to
those... Malou and Tina.
Oh Ahmad?
They say you shouldn't
give the refugees money.
When did we agree to
talk to others about this?
Especially that saved mother-daughter duo.
"Saved", I don't know.
At least they're doing
something. We're doing nothing.
I would have gladly given him
asylum and a job in Germany.
No, but... It's not just
about Ahmad, is it?
So, listen now...
There have been refugee
crises for hundreds of years.
- Yes, I know that. - And it's tragic.
-We can't feel guilty about that.
-I don't either.
-It seems that way. Or is it?
-Damn, you're annoying.
Okay?
But do you think he'll make it?
- Isn't it cute, our cat? - Yes. Very cute.
But that's not our cat.
Look, it's wearing a collar.
-So it lives at someone's house.
-What kind of letters are those?
It's... Arabic, maybe.
It could be a runaway cat. If the
family drowned on the way here.
No, I don't think so.
It's probably just lost.
-Can't we take it home?
-No, no. We're not getting a cat.
But who will take care
of it when we leave, then?
The cat is doing great here.
He has vacation all year round.
Then other kind children come
and feed it and cuddle with it.
Isn't it funny when they
jump around like that?
-What are you going to do tomorrow?
-Tomorrow?
-Do you have any plans?
-We don't know yet.
Good. We would love
to take you on a boat trip.
A lagoon on the other side of
the island. Catering, all inclusive.
The kids would love it.
They have so much fun
together. Almost like siblings.
That... Wow, that sounds amazing. Really.
- I'll just check with Mikkel. - Do it.
Okay.
Sure yes. Yes, I didn't know that.
But Mikkel has already
made plans for the family. Yes.
Unfortunately.
You don't have to pay
anything. We'll bid. Of course.
Well? That was very generous of you.
- But we've booked a ruin tour. - A...?
We've booked a ruin walk
tomorrow! We're going to see the ruins.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
-Yes. So... unfortunately.
-That's how it is.
Now we're shaking! Shake, shake.
I'm just saying... The
girls are going to hate you.
We hate that you said
no. I say that for all of us.
-They don't need to know...
-Who can handle a ruin walk?
-I can't do it. Nobody can.
-I just made that up.
-Yeah? Wow.
-We're not going on a ruin tour.
-Did you lie? Can you do that?
-Yes, but I'm not proud of it.
That was the first time you
lied so much that I believed it.
You know what? Those Norwegians
with their oil money and spoiled kids.
- I don't care. - They can't buy me.
- I want to go on a lake trip. - Seriously?
Yes, I don't care about
them. I just want...
- Go boating with them? - You want to too.
I don't want that at all!
What is that?
Hello?
Hello?
Oh, poor homeless children lying here.
Too bad we don't have room for them.
- Hello. - Hello!
Michael?
-Hello, my friend.
-Hello. Is everything okay?
Still not good. I just
want to say thank you.
- It was so little. - Yes.
I'm very thirsty. I've
walked a long way. Water?
Yes. Of course. Come in.
You're welcome here. Come in.
- You're welcome. - Thank you.
- And sit down if you want. - Thank you.
I'm sorry we don't have any
food. I can call the restaurant.
No, thanks.
I actually have... Wait a minute.
Lite snacks.
-Do you want more water? No?
-That's good.
Are you just going to stand there, or what?
Can I take a picture for my wife?
I've told her about my new Danish friend.
- Yes, of course. - All together?
Now let's take a picture, shall we?
Great. I'll send it to you.
- What is your name? - My name is Sille.
- Can you tell me your name? - Ella.
- How old are you? - I'm 11. She's 6.
Mashallah.
- Wow. - Do you learn that in school?
I also have four beautiful daughters.
-But not as beautiful as yours.
-Thank you.
I have three daughters now.
Here. I'll show them to you.
Come on, friend.
We'll see.
Look, those are his daughters.
I had to leave them in
Khorasan, Afghanistan.
We didn't have enough money
for everyone to cross the border.
They've been there for three
months without me, without protection.
- I'm worried. - What does he say?
This is my school in Kunduz.
- An all-girls school. - He was a teacher.
One day the Taliban came to school.
They threatened the girls and beat me.
Girls are not allowed to
go to school, they said.
Sahra, my eldest, said it's
their right as Muslim Afghans.
They told her to shut up.
She was fearless, my Sahra.
And he grabbed her and...
He...
Did they kill her?
Come on, friend. We're going in over here.
We're going in here.
He's so sad. Come.
She was so young.
Can you be a good big
sister and stay here with Ella?
- Yes. I'll be right back. - Okay.
I'll be right back.
What are you doing?
- Sorry I scared your girls. - Take this.
-To your family. I'm sorry.
-Thank you. You're good people.
I'm opening.
- Damn, what a fate. - Yes.
He's completely traumatized by that.
I don't know how else we could help him.
I know it's our money and
you've earned most of it.
I'm coming now, okay?
Yes. Come on, friend. Now
we're going in and going to bed.
What are you thinking about?
I don't know...
I just got such an uncomfortable feeling.
You don't believe him?
No, I'm just thinking that...
If you're on the run, you probably
do what you can to survive.
Yes, but no one... can
pretend to feel that way, right?
The best.
The most...
But don't you think it's strange
how he gets around the island?
With that leg?
And?
- Honey, shouldn't we go to the sea? - No.
- I want to too. - Yes, yes. But now...
We'll do it when we get back.
-Yes, it looks fun.
-But then it would be...
- Excuse me. - What's going on?
They must have been in a hurry.
Don't worry, we're here to help.
Get your kids out of the water!
Stop taking photos now!
Mercedes, I respect what you
do. But not in front of our guests.
They've been at sea for over a
week. Get them food and water.
Here.
- I'm a doctor. - Are you okay?
Make room, please.
Go up to the restaurant.
Go up to the restaurant. Go
up to the restaurant, please.
Go to the restaurant, please.
Could you please go to the restaurant?
-I don't want to be here anymore.
-I understand.
Can I have your attention?
I am pleased to announce that
the woman who had fainted...
was picked up by an ambulance
and is now receiving medical attention.
I deeply regret this chaos.
It is the first boat on our beach.
But in an hour everything
will be back to normal.
Listen to what he wants
before he shows up again.
For those interested, the bus tour
to the ruins will proceed as planned-
-in fifteen minutes from the
reception. Thank you very much.
-Answer so he doesn't continue.
-Is it Ahmad?
Today we delve into the
history of the Guanches.
The original people who
lived here before the Spaniards.
Try to imagine how they lived in
isolation here for thousands of years.
It's a story of survival-
-and a tragic turning point, when the Spanish
conquered the island in the 15th century.
To the right you saw the island's unofficial
and completely overcrowded refugee camp.
-What the hell?
-We have to tell the whole story.
Okay. Excuse me.
The Guanches were
tall, blond and blue-eyed.
Scientists believe that the Guanches may
be descended from the Cro-Magnon people...
Can't you send a text message
and say we'll call tomorrow?
Say we're on a trip.
Wouldn't that be okay?
- Shouldn't we go home now? - Yes.
Very soon, Ellamus. There is one ruin left.
-I just want to go home to the pool.
-We can't go home now.
You could probably call a taxi.
No. Ella-Bella, now we're going
to the bus, with mom and Sille.
-You'll get an ice cream when you get home.
-Come on, my friend.
We do as mom says.
We have to go. I can't handle this.
Listen to me, that's enough.
You follow me when I say it.
Okay. As long as I'm an adult, I'm
the one who decides. Are you in?
- I control my body! - Yes, but...
- Ella! - Ella, damn it!
Come here now. Stop, stop, stop!
- Let me go, let me go! - Stop this.
- Let me go! - Stop it now.
Just breathe. Everything is fine.
No, no, no.
Down on the floor, down on the floor!
They're tourists, you stupid pigs!
Make them stop breaking the bus.
I drive tourists. See for yourself!
What do you want? What's going on?
- Sorry. - Sorry? Get out!
Fucking fascist pigs. What
are you doing with them?
- Calm down. - Idiot!
Wasn't that Pedro from the hotel?
- Who's your dad? - Okay, okay.
- Get lost! - Go to hell.
I'm sorry.
The fascist pigs from the mainland
think we're transporting refugees.
But everything is under control.
Paloma? We'll continue. Good.
What does it mean that Pedro is a fascist?
There...
Fascists do not believe that
all people have equal value.
They think they are the strongest
and have the right to decide.
But why would they want to
hit someone they don't know?
To...
Yes, because they are racists.
- Mikkel, Mikkel! - Yes? Huh?
- He's here on the terrace! - Huh?
That damn stalker!
I need help. I tried calling.
-Yes, but... didn't you get my texts?
-You're my only friend.
Can't you help me?
-Quiet. The girls are sleeping.
-The smugglers...
They took my family away. They
grabbed my wife and beat her.
I have to pay them
more. I have to save them.
His family is kidnapped
by human traffickers...
I thought the money would be
enough to get them to Turkey or Iran.
But now they say it's not enough.
-How much?
-5,000 euros will get them all the way here.
I'll go to Germany, get a job and pay back.
-What are you thinking?
-He can't look me in the eye.
Look here. For each part of the
journey, you pay a new smuggler.
600 at the border. So maybe
1,000 or more in Iran, Turkey, Izmir...
-Weren't they kidnapped?
-The mountain road is cheap, but dangerous.
-Mikkel, that doesn't add up.
-The car is more expensive.
-Ahmad, give us a moment.
-He has already received 1,200 euros.
That will be over 6,000 in total.
-Almost 50,000 Danish kroner.
-If the family is kidnapped...
- Is it our fault? - You don't believe me?
Why is he talking about borders?
That's no more money than
we spend on vacation in a year.
Do you seriously believe him?
I'll give you the account number.
He can transfer the money.
- It's a scam. - We don't know!
You're terrible at making
unpleasant decisions.
-Mikkel, I have to save my family.
-Tell him to leave now.
- Now! - Mikkel. The smugglers...
- I don't know what they'll do... - Mikkel!
Ahmad, listen here...
What if someone beat your
wife and took your daughters?
-You're going to leave. Get out!
-Don't you understand?
Mikkel! What are you doing? Huh?
Ahmad, please go now.
You say you want to help.
But you're lying, you're not good.
- Hey, girls. - Hey.
What is happening?
We are not waiting for him to come
back and are even more desperate.
- Are you on your way home? - We're moving.
Are we moving? Where then?
There must be a free room somewhere, right?
So now we're moving.
I have to help the
volunteers today. I have to.
-Excuse me, huh?
-I can't stand being here.
Lying by the pool and pretending like
nothing is happening, I'm going crazy.
- So I'll do it. - Okay.
Is it Ahmad or yourself
that you feel most sorry for?
You are the most
schizophrenic person I know.
I'm packing. You're
selfish. The children, then?
-They won't die because I'm gone.
-No, they've done that before.
- Why are you arguing? - Hey, girls.
We're not arguing, my
friend. We're not, we...
Now listen. Mom has to help
the refugees for a few hours.
In the meantime, you guys play here
with Dad and have fun in the pool, okay?
Should we say that?
Okay! Now listen, everyone.
Listen now, everyone!
Up on the sidewalk.
Now listen. The camp is 60 kilometers
away, on the other side of the mountain.
A bus will come and pick you
up, but we don't know when.
Stay here. We don't
want any accidents. Right?
Stop picking up their trash.
Otherwise, they leave a trail of
garbage behind them across Europe.
-Yes, but...
-Leave it alone. And watch the road.
Everyone, get on the
sidewalk. Let the car pass.
I don't understand the
point of this vacation.
Can't we just go home?
Ellamus? Come on. We'll go and
have breakfast before they close.
She?
She...
Okay, Ella? Now you unlock the
door and come out. Are you with me?
Okay. I'll go ahead. Then you
can come whenever you want.
Can I sit here for a moment?
Can I apply for a job
in this parcel business?
- I think Mom is stupid. - Yes.
I think so too sometimes.
But mom isn't stupid. Or is she, my friend?
She just wants to help people
who are having a hard time.
Come on.
-Yeah, this is where you're hiding.
-Can't we take the cat home?
-Sweet Ella, we've discussed that.
-I'm not sweet.
Can't we call the family
so they can come home?
Yes, I can try that.
Is there a phone number on it?
39... 12... 34...
45... 67.
Yeah, that... that's just
an answering machine.
Then we have to bring it home to Denmark.
You can't just take a cat to another
country. You're not allowed to.
-Excuse me, you have to get out of the way.
-Be firm. You, get out of the way!
Telephone?
- Where can I call? - Do you need to call?
My mom hasn't heard from me in a week.
- Where is your mother? - Senegal. Dakar.
Okay.
I have...
You can borrow my phone.
But stay here. Stay here.
-Are you his brothers? Are you with him?
-No.
You don't know him?
Tack.
-Are those your brothers?
-No, I'll take care of them.
There was a teenage boy and two
younger boys here. I don't know...
They should not be left alone.
Make sure they are with adult relatives.
- Otherwise, you bring them to me. - Okay.
Hello, hello. Okay, okay, okay!
Go ahead.
-Does anyone speak English?
-Why isn't the bus here?
Are you related to the boys?
How do you know them?
-From the village.
-From the village? Where then?
Mauritania.
But they are from Senegal. So...
Friends.
You, come with me, okay? A
Spanish woman will take care of you.
- No. - She will help you all.
No. Friends. Friend.
Do you like him? Do you want to adopt?
Adopt me. Take me to
Europe. Take me to Europe.
Take these, okay? And be careful.
- Please stay together. - No problem.
Hey, girls.
We have to take the cat home...
because the family may have drowned.
Yeah? Okay, so you have...
We have been to a vet and it
has been given an EU passport.
- Look, there it is. - It likes this.
How lucky the cat is.
Yes.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm sorry about this morning
and about that damn cat.
This is really going to hell.
This is just a party cigarette. I
haven't started smoking again.
I really don't know what I had imagined.
Not?
It was just these kids that I... Yeah.
Really wanted to...
-Dad, Sille doesn't want to share the cat.
-Not right now.
It's going well. You go.
-What is it?
-Sille doesn't want to share the cat.
-Pee, pee, pee.
-You can run after it outside.
- Ouch. - Good morning.
- Are you okay? - My neck hurts really bad.
We have to do something about it.
Ella, the cat is tired. Let it
go now. No Ella, stop now.
-You see. Typical of you.
-Ouch! Careful, honey.
Calm, calm. Careful.
Damn it. So yeah, can I see?
So, yes.
Can I look? But damn.
That's what I said. So yeah.
Can you make it a little harder
here? A little deeper. Thank you.
Fan.
A little harder, please.
-Mikkel here. Leave a message.
-Where are you? I've seen Ahmad.
Michael?
Why aren't you answering?
Where are the girls?
-They're... were here. Calm down.
-Ahmad is here.
I saw him by our old room. He could run.
-Has he called you?
-No. I've blocked him.
-I don't like this.
-Now let's take it easy.
- Now we find the girls. - Yes.
Sille and Ella?
Excuse me. Hello. Have
you seen our daughters?
- Two girls? - I just got here.
William saw a dark man with a beard
who wanted to take Sille and Ella with him.
- Right now? - Fifteen minutes ago.
William is afraid of strangers and
came to pick me up. But they had left.
Did you see which way they
went? Did they say anything?
-Do you know who it is?
-It's someone we ran into.
- Did you hit it? - Yes, I happened to...
-Then he wanted to borrow a lot of money.
-Can he hurt the girls?
-I really hope not.
-So yeah. Calm and nice.
Go to mom, and I'll help Mikkel and Louise.
You start searching here
and down towards the beach.
I'll take the area towards the reception
and get hold of Nico. We'll find them.
- That! - Ella!
Sille and Ella!
- Sille and Ella! - Ella!
Will!
Will!
- Her! - Her!
To her! Ella!
- Hello? - Excuse me?
For her? Ella?
Will?
Excuse me, have you seen two girls? Six and
eleven years old, with a dark-skinned man?
There are only children here.
Oh no.
- So... - I don't like this.
- It's him. - Answer.
-Ahmad, where are you?
-What is he saying?
Hello?
- Ahmad! - There!
Ahmad!
- To that! - Mikkel.
-I can't get a hold of my wife.
-Where are they?
-What have you done to our children?
-I have to pay...
- What have you done? - What do you think?
Do you think I cut their throats?
Where are they?
Mikkel! Help!
Michael!
Help!
Kim, come!
- Here! Hurry up! - Where are they?
Louise! Mikkel, what are you doing?
-Stop it, Mikkel! Stop it!
-Where are they?
That's enough! That's enough!
-Have you gone completely crazy?
-And this one is for...
-Pedro, what are you doing?
-He's not supposed to be here.
- Not in front of our guests. - Come on.
Michael!
Are you feeling well?
What are they doing with him?
I'm sorry. If there's anything I can
do for you, you have to let me know.
I was so scared. We were so scared
that he had done something to you.
Why would he have done anything to us?
He just wanted help finding you.
Are you racist?
No, of course I'm not racist.
Hello.
I just think he's taken so much beating.
-Good morning. How are you?
-What happened to the refugee?
They gave him a warning and showed him out.
-He won't come back here.
-But we have to find him.
Honestly... I don't know where he is.
Now just take it easy and
enjoy your last day, okay?
Good morning.
Go ahead. And go ahead.
The house invites.
- Thank you. - No reason.
- Oh, it's delicious. - Why did we get it?
- Come on, girls. - But...
-We just got them.
-We'll drink them later. Come on, friend.
Excuse me, English?
Is there an office here? Administration?
-Should we ask over there?
-Yes. Come on, friend.
Are you there?
- I have to pee. - Do you have to pee?
I don't think so, friend.
Hey, look here. Paul.
- Hello! - What are you doing here?
I've asked myself that many
times too. But I'm a doctor, so...
-What are you doing here?
-We're looking for Ahmad.
He was kicked out of the resort yesterday
in a rather... unfortunate manner.
Do you know where we can ask for him?
There are hundreds of people
here. No one is registered.
We have a picture of him.
-Can I show it?
-No, my friend. We're talking now.
You can ask yourself.
Most are Moroccans and West Africans.
Try to find out where the Syrians live.
You girls can be my
assistants for so long, right?
- Yes. - It'll be fine.
It's not an amusement park, exactly.
Excuse me, have you seen this man?
Ahmad. You haven't seen him?
Come with me.
Excuse me.
Okay.
Hello. Do you recognize him?
Perhaps.
- How do you know him? - He's a friend.
I hope he's still around.
This?
Ahmad?
I'm sorry.
Can we stop here?
Hello.
Not closer.
Can I wear it?
Yes, of course.
Come now, friend. It's time, come.
- Can you help me carry it? - Yes.
