Wednesday, May 9 (2015) - full transcript
A not wealthy man publishes an ad which says near 25000$ will be donated to a needy person. His past makes whom to choose a super hard decision.
-Are you here for the advert too?
-Yeah, we're waiting to see what happens
It's genuine right?
-I don't know, the police is here
-Why the police?
I don't know either
Two streets filled with people
Go away ma'am
They say come back later
-You're not in the mood
-No just a headache
-Did you go?
-Yeah
-What happened?
-Nothing
What do you mean?
Wasn't it genuine?
No, I don't know
There were so many people there.
The guy was arrested
I didn't stick around to
see what happens
You went all the way you might
as well have stayed
There were so many poor
people gathered
I might go tonight
-Did she have her baby?
-She went into labour late last night
We took her to the hospital
the guy turned up in the morning
-What did she call him?
-Amirali
Nice
-How are you?
-Did you say hello?
-Have the meat
-No I won't
Why not? You'll be hungry
in two hours again
I don't want it
Open your mouth
-I don't want any
-Okay, go play
Hi Ali
Don't bother, I just wanted
to see if you're okay
Say something so I
can hear you
Thank you, just wanted to
let you know I'll be late tonight
Helia is with me
Yes darling, Helia is with me

-It's over
-Send them away
-They won't see anyone
-Go away sir
Go sir, it's an offense
sir.
-They've told us no one should stay past 8
-Let us do our job
We've stood here all day
Rasoul send them away
go on sir
Go home, go away ma'am
-Hasn't anyone shut this door?
-My house is here
-Is your house is here or you want to see them?
-My house is here
Why did you ask if they
took him or not?
-I just asked
-So you're stood there for no reason too
Go stand outside your house
Get him, get hold of him
before he runs off
-What's going on?
-I don't know, someone threw a rock and ran
-What's your job then?
-I'm not your security, I'm here to send people away
Go find him instead
of arguing
I'm not responsible for this sir
call the station if you want
Shut this door I can't stop anyone
trying to get up there
Have you finished it?
Go bin the wrapper then
Mr. Ashtiani
What are you doing here?
What were all these people
doing here today?
Is she your daughter?
What's your name?
-I really wanted to see you
-I don't want to talk about it
To tell you why I left
I wanted that too
But I don't think of it anymore
Is your dad still upset
with me?
He died eight years ago
God bless his soul
When you left he said don't
ever speak Jalal's name again
He threw the ring you brought
into a charity box
Are you happy with your life?
Not bad, thank God
Do you have any kids?
Yes
Two boys
Yeah, how do you know?
I guessed
But now only one son
God took one away
The other one is a student
In Araq, first year of
engineering
How did the other one
pass away?
He got sick
God bless his soul
God bless a five year-old's soul?
I don't know what to say
Forget it
Don't you want to say
why you came?
What's the story behind
this ad?
-Do you take this bus?
-Yeah
-What was his job?
-Factory
I'm not saying we were rich
But we had a house
and a car
We went on two holidays
a year
-What was it he made?
-Baby clothes
He hadn't lost confidence
before this
It all started suddenly
Headaches, dizziness
nausea
Until now
He's lost the control
for everything
-Can he walk?
-He can't do anything
None of his limbs
nothing
What do the doctors say?
On his last MRI they said
it's a central nervous system issue
-Is it because of the accident?
-Yeah
If this operation is done,
will he be okay?
They say 80% of things
will be
-How much did they say?
-80%
No how much does it
cost?
His doctor said 16-17 million
I have to get off here
-Get up
-She'll get off here
Get up, we're here
Here's your bag, come on
I'm sorry I didn't want
to talk too much
-Here's your bag
-Give me a number
What for?
Don't you want him to
get better?
-Will you get off sir?
-I don't want to bother–
There's no bother, give me
a number
-Won't you get off sir?
-One minute, sorry
-Can I call the place?
-Call
But leave your name and
details don't forget
Hi, how are you doing?
Should I turn it off?
I'll be right back
Ali lift your leg
Why are you standing there?
Go get changed
Helia I said go get changed
don't stand there
It's nothing major, you want
to get upset over it again?
Move your leg
I went to that address today
-It was a prank
-No it wasn't
I explained our situation
They said unfortunately
They apologised a lot first
and said it's not possible
They said you're not a priority
Then I explained some more and
realised it's not possible
They said no, as I was about to
walk out, a guy said
"Are you Ali's wife?"
I said "yes"
"He said the handsome one?"
I said "yes!"
Then he said I'll get you some tea
offered me a seat
How much does it cost?
We'll pay it all
Don't mess about
I'm not messing, he said
we'll pay it all
Can you believe it?
I'm talking nonsense?
I swear I'm telling the truth
The first part was a joke yes
But when I explained they
asked some more, asked what's wrong
They said you're priority
we'll pay it
What?
-Is it a loan?
-Is it a loan? No
It's a grant. A charity
Why what?
-Why do they want to help?
-They have money and they want to help, that's all
My food is burning
I'll be right back
Didn't I ask you to get
changed?
How many times do I
need to say one thing?
You're still stood here?
Go on
What is it? Why do you
look at me like that?
The one who said is paying
for your operation
He took the same bus so
he came up to here
I'm telling you, the one who's
put up the ad
-He took the same bus
-Why did he come with you?
I'm telling you, I couldn't ask
him not to get on. Could I?
It's the public transport
not my car
Yes?
Yes?
-Was it an ad?
-Yes
Yes it was an ad
I swear it was
Wait let me show you
This is the ad I tried to show you
last night and you said it's not real
Look
30 million grant is given
to someone in need
To register, apply on Wednesday
Thursday and Friday from 9th May, which is today
Until the 12th May at this address
here's the address
Happy now?
I swear we were going
the same way
Ali have I ever lied to you?
Look at me Ali
Have I ever lied to you?
I'm not now either
I went there for the ad
I swear I didn't even know...
Who put the advert up
Who did?
But I swear on your life and
Helia's I didn't know
I swear when I saw him
I turned back
But I thought I'm just like everyone else
there was something there 20 years ago
Why should he even
remember me?
Did he remember?
Yeah, he did
Who said hi first?
What difference does it make?
It makes a difference
What do you mean?
Do you understand what
you're telling me?
Do you know what you're
saying?
You're so mean
You're so mean
-What are you doing here?
-Dad says he wants to sleep
Didn't you need the loo?
I'm not saying it for me
you'll have to get up in the middle of the night
Turn me around
You want to go in a mood?
Turn me around
Hi
What is it?
Come in and shut the door
Who's that boy?
-Which boy?
-The one you were on the bike with
-I wasn't on anyone's bike
-You weren't?
Didn't he drop you off at
Bolkar?
-I swear I wasn't–
-Shut up, don't swear

Why were you on his bike?
-He wants to come for proposal again
-So you should get on his bike?
Is he your boyfriend?
-Is he your boyfriend?
-No, Esmaeil can I tell you something?
-Just tell me what you were doing
-I will wait
Go on!
He wanted to come for proposal
to talk to aunt
-What did he want to say?
-Esmaeil please don't tell auntie
He came and my mum said no
so you hang out with him?
-Let's go to his house

Temporary marriage?
Temporary marriage?
How then?
You got married?
You did?
Does my mum know?
Setareh you live here and my
mum doesn't know you're married?
How did you get married?
-We went to the registry office
-Didn't they ask for a guardian?
-They said they need my dad's permission
-What did you say?
-I showed my dad's death certificate
-So they said okay?
They said okay?
What the hell did you
do Setareh?
The hell did you do
You've lived in our house
my mum doesn't know you're married?
-She wouldn't accept
-So you had to go behind her back with the bastard?
Shut up and don't say his
name in front of me
Don't name the bastard
in front of me
So you were with him the whole time
you said you're studying at the library?
Where did you go?
-Where did you go?
-Stop it Esmaeil
Shut up I said
So how come when I spent money
on you, you never told me about it?
I won't let you live Setareh
I won't
-Setareh is it you?
-Yes auntie
Why didn't you use the
bathroom inside?
-Why did you tell him?
-I had to
-Why?
-He took my phone, I was afraid he'd see the texts
-You'd say something else
-What would I say?
He'd see me with you, he said
you'd hugged him
-It's none of his business
-He made a scene
He was shouting at the
top of his lungs
-You're telling the truth Setareh, right?
-About what?
You said you fell over
-Where did you fall?
-Outside the house
-Setareh did he hit you or you fell?
-I fell
-Did he hit you Setareh?
-He didn't
-I said he hit you?
-Suppose he did, what can you do?
-What can I do?
-Morteza I said he didn't
-He didn't
-He didn't I swear on my life
-Swear on my life
-I swear on my life he didn't
What do we do Morteza?
Pull your scarf
-He doesn't know about the doctor?
-No
-What if he searches your stuff and finds it?
-No he doesn't do that sort of thing
Our troubles are never-ending
I'll show my ID, she's
my wife legally
My aunt will die
my life is over
I came forward like then times
what else was I supposed to do?
We haven't committed a crime
Bring your mum again she
might accept it
I don't have any parents where
do I find one from?
Didn't I bring her once
Did anything change?
They won't allow it they think
I'm a piece of shit
Everyone is great
Morteza what do I do if
he's told my aunt?
So you keep saying.
Go get your stuff and let's go
You've said that a hundred times
what about my aunt?
I've lived with them
What should I do? Come for my own
wife's proposal ten more times to hear no?
I'm not saying forever
we'll be back in a few months
-We'll make it up to them and apologise
-Come tomorrow
Talk to my aunt and say
"I'll make her happy"
Say something for them
to say yes
-What if they say no again?
-We'll think of something then
No then you'll do as I say
you pack your stuff and we'll leave
Setareh for real this time if they
say no, you'll come with me
Esmaeil isn't home till 4 okay?
Text me when you get here
-Okay?
-Okay
-Get on
-No, Esmaeil might see me again
-He won't
-No, just come tomorrow Morteza, okay?
Drive slowly

No nothing had happened
Our street?
No in five minutes

Are you well dressed?
Thanks
No
Ring the bottom bell
when you get here
Bye
-Why did you bring these in?
-They were dry
They're not dry they're damp
they'll smell
Let me see your lip
don't touch it so it'll heal quicker
I told Hassan to fix this door
there's no man in this house
Yes?
Who are you?
Who are you after?
Okay wait a few moments
-Take these up so I can see who it is
-Is Esmaeil home?
Yeah he said he won't go
to work today
I'm not very comfortable talking
here ma'am
You're a decent man
why do you come here everytime?
I don't know how to
tell you
This isn't the way
What is the way?
I'll do that
Setareh go inside darling
You should come with
your family
To have the prospects
The girl's family will consider
it and let him know
How many times have I said no
you don't suit my daughter
Sorry to be frank but you
don't have a decent job
-I do have a job ma'am
-Didn't you say you're security?
It's temporary I swear. It's just so
that I don't have to pay rent
I'm saving my money and this
man has promised to find me a decent job
-It means I'm a -
-Yes you're a decent lad
We never said you weren't
But it's important who
your family is
-Where people come from
-I don't have one, what should I do?
My dad passed away years ago
my mum got married
-Her husband won't let her see me
-Is that my fault?
So you're saying if someone doesn't
have parents they should never get married?
Maybe there are some people out
there who are okay with it
-But it matters to me
-I have a diploma
I'm not an addict, I've served military
service and have a job, does that not matter?
Just parents?
Does Setareh– I'll make your
daughter happy, I swear I'm telling the truth
Don't just think of saying no
Your destiny isn't here
-You should find someone to suit you
-What the hell are you doing here?
Watch your language
-What is it?
-Why did you open the door Aziz?
-What is it?
-Don't hit her!
-What the hell do you want here?
-What is it?
I'll swear, and do whatever the hell
I want too
-Tell me what's wrong
-Get inside
Get inside, I want to have a word
step aside Aziz
-Step aside Aziz
-Go on tell me
Tell them what's happened.
He's here for a proposal
Whose side are you on Aziz?
Do you know what these two have done?
-What is it?
-What's wrong?
-Tell her
-I said don't hit her
You come for a proposal now?
Let me see what he says
These two pieces of shit
have already gotten married
-He's lying Aziz
-Who got married?
I'm lying? Go get your certificate
-Who got married?
-What is he saying Setareh?
What does he mean?
Who got married?
He's written a letter
-Don't tell auntie
-What have I done wrong?
I came here like ten times and you
said I have to bring my parents
-I don't have any, what should I do?
-You wouldn't do this if you did
Don't hit him please
What is he saying?
I'm talking to you
listen to me
It's none of your business
It's a family matter
Let me see what happened
It's none of your business
-Let go of him you scumbag
-You get back in
-Don't hit him
-Let me see what happened
Hold your head up
Hold your head up so it
stops bleeding
You talk shit now?
-Don't hit him
-Who told you to come out?
Get back inside
-I'll send your dead body home
-Don't!
-Hold your head up
-I said it's nothing dad
-I said hold your head up
-It's nothing
Don't hit him
-I'll teach him
-Get back in
Let go of him
Enough Behjat
get inside
Morteza can't come for a few days
so I came instead
Has something come up?
No he can't come
Is there something wrong?
-He's been arrested
-Why?
-He had a fight
-He wasn't the type
He didn't do anything
it was because of me
Where is he right now?
Do you know?
No, they took him to the
station
Don't worry, it'll be okay
Can I stay here until
Morteza gets back?
In Morteza's room?
I'll do whatever the job is
I don't know I should
discuss it with management
I don't think they'll
allow it
-I swear I'm his wife I have proof
-I know
I'd seen you here before.
Morteza had mentioned it before too
He hadn't lied to you
I can do whatever he used to
do now
I need to discuss it with the
management. It's too late right now
You come back tomorrow
and I'll call
-Do you have a place to stay tonight?
-No
Well, where do you want
to go now?
I don't know
Wait let me make a phone call
hope they're not asleep
He's a surgeon, he goes to
the hospital to the theatre
That's why he sleeps early
Hello sir
What are you doing here?
-I went to the station, they said you're here
-What happened last night?
-Nothing I didn't stay there
-Why not?
-They threw my stuff out
-Hurry up sir!
-My aunt wouldn't listen either
-Where did you go then?
Your place
-Hurry up sir
-One minute, right
The guy who was there,
called management
-I said I'm his wife
-This isn't the time to meet
Lower your voice! Keep your phone
switched on, I'll call you, okay?
Don't worry
-One minute sorry
-It's my turn ma'am
-One minute sorry, excuse me!
-Yes ma'am?
I'm here for the case of
the fight
Have a seat,
what's his name?
-What's your relationship?
-He's my husband
-Are you Setareh Kouchan?
-Yes
Why didn't you tell your family?
-What happens next?
-I don't know
We'll write a report to the judge
it's probably fines and compensation
-Don't put this here, give it to him
-They asked to bring it here
-Ask him to sign it
-How much is it?
I don't know, it says broken nose
and deformed septum
-It's not minor
-How much is it?
I can't tell you precisely
a fifth of the whole amount
Around 30
-30
-Million
Rezaee ask for tea
Go ask him to give consent
he's your cousing right?
Go ask him
you're family
Bring your paperwork sir
Why didn't you wait last night
so I could give you money?
The neighbours were watching
when Esmaeil did that
If you wouldn't have done what you did
why would Esmail do this?
Where were you last night?
Morteza's workplace
You fool
You think you deserve to live
in a security cubicle?
Get inside the cellar so Esmaeil
doesn't see you, so I can see what I can do
-Esmaeil filed a case he wants compensation
-It's his decision not mine
Compensation or prison
whatever
-Morteza has no money
-He should have throught it through
He never did anything wrong
Esmaeil attacked him
-Can't you talk to him?
-What would I say?
What do I say? Give consent for you
to get back to this guy's arms?
-How dare you Setareh!
-I just don't want my husband to be in prison
Shut up! You name this
marriage?
-"My husband"
-Didn't he beg you?
-Did you ever ask me?
-It's not up to you
You said he has no family
He brought his mum with so much trouble
she had a little make-up on, you said they're not good enough
-What should he do?
-When did I say that?
Everytime he knocks this door
this is called a proposal?
If I'd let you marry
someone like this
What would I say to your late dad?
How long has it been?
Five months
You just got married?
What do you mean?
-Was it just marriage?
-Who's at the door Aziz?
-Get inside, I'm talking
-Who is it I asked
-Get inside I'll tell you
-If she steps inside I'll leave forever
-Fine, I said lower your voice
-I swear I'm not joking
-You'll never see me again
-Fine
-Tell him I won't I just need his consent
-I won't ever
You forget about the guy
I'll speak to Esmaeil
I won't leave Morteza
You want to ruin your life?
Is life a joke to you?
Think!
This boy will be discharged
and you'll get back home
Apologise to Hassan from me
I didn't think this would happen
Bye
Please mind the door
Miss?
-Yes
-Where's Morteza?
-Won't he get back?
-He will, he's on vacation
I have a large suitcase
can you take it?
Yeah I'll be right there
-Yes
-It's Saber
One moment, I'll be
right there
Yes
This is Morteza's wages
up until yesterday
Doctor said I should
let you go
-So I should go?
-He didn't say anything about that
But when they let someone go
they start looking for someone else
But I've done all of his work
the past few days
I know, but they've asked for
Morteza a few times
Morteza used to park their
cars here
They're unhappy.
How much time do
I have?
I don't know, until
the end of next week maybe
-Any news from Morteza?
-He's in prison
-Prison or station?
-Prison
I thought it was an
ordinary fight
Why is it take so long?
What happened?
-They want money
-How much?
Around 30
You could've spoken to them
I did, they won't
change their mind
Don't worry, God will help
Morteza is a decent man
God will help him
-Thank you
-Bye for now
Yes
Yes
They published an ad
on Hamshahri yesterday
On the 15th or 16th page
It might be of use to you
I don't have the paper here
otherwise I'd give it to you
Give me your number, I'll
text you the details when I get home
My number
I don't have a phone
-Okay, suit yourself
-What is it about?
-Look at it yourself, bye
-Sure thanks
-Your relationship?
-He's my husband
-I'd missed you
-I missed you too
-Are you comfortable there?
-Where?
-My room
-Yeah it's good
They paid me up until
6th
-That's good how much was it?
-345 toman
-You didn't tell them right?
-No
I said you're away
I only told Saber
That's okay he's nice
-Lock the door at night
-Okay
Don't cry it's nothing
I'll be out soon
They won't let you
come out Morteza
-I'll be out, I'll fix it
-How?
Where will you get all
this money from?
Did you go to the doctor?
-Did you?
-Yes
Is the baby okay?
Didn't they tell you
the gender?
-I didn't ask
-You didn't?
No they said it's too early
Yes darling
My aunt has a condition for
bailing you out
What is it?
-They said I should leave you
-What did you tell them?
I said I wouldn't leave you
Cool
-Morteza I don't want you to be in there
-I won't be in here forever
If we don't have the money
they'll keep you in here
Well... What can we do? We have to
wait and see what happens
What will happen? Saber said
they're replacing you
Replacing me?
At work?
That's unfair
Where will I go if I can't
stay there?
What do I do with
this baby?
I'll call the guy
What will happen if you do?
They'll give me a few days'
more. Then what?
-Morteza if you don't come out
-Let me think
-The baby will get bigger too
-I said don't say anything
-Why do you shout at me?
-I'm not, I said let me think
What is it?
What is it
-Nothing
-What do you mean?
-You said Morteza
-No
Tell me
I thought what would happen
if you don't come out
Well... How should I come out?
What are you thinking of?
You're so mean
-You're so mean
-I didn't say anything
I didn't say anything Morteza
Morteza I didn't say anything
It says 8
Yes sure
-Are you the ad owner?
-No
It's a chaos. People have queued
from Saheb to here
-Why is the police here?
-I don't know
-I'm sorry I changed a few things around
-It's okay
-Did you get the forms ready?
-Yeah, I left them on that table
Hi, yes?
-Who has posted this ad?
-I have officer
What's all this show?
It's an ad
You've created a scene
for little money
What's your problem sir?
Why I posted an ad? Or why a number of
people are outside? Which one exactly?
Look out from the window
Is this a number?
-Every ad raises some interest
-Look outside I said
Is this a joke?
-Is this 'a number of people'?
-Why do you get angry? Have a seat
-Who are you?
-I'm the owner of the office
-So this is your ad
-I'll explain
I'm Foroutan. The owner
of the officer
This is Mr. Hashemi my friend,
he's a teacher
He asked me to let him use the
office for three days
-That's all
-What's your occupation here?
-This is an advertising office
-Do you check every ad on the paper?
Amirian, take him downstairs
One second. Please Mr. Amirian
-I want to know what the problem is
-Large crowds can't stay out here
That's not our problem
He posted an ad and wanted
to do a good deed, he didn't know this would happen
People donate twice as much
but don't let anyone find out
You want to donate 30 million
why have you gathered so many people?
-To say you're a great person?
-Yeah
I'm an attention seeker
what's your problem?
I arrest attention seekers
bring him down
-Wait
-No need for cuffs, bring him
-Stay quiet
-I'll sue you for slander
He wants to donate his money
like this. How's that illegal?
We'll see at the station
take him down
You won't even let me explain
no offence has been made
-Why are you arresting him?
-Public attention
-What public attention?
-Send them away
If the police wasn't here,
people would stand quietly in a queue
It was an ad, why are you
making it so complicated?
Show me an ad like this one
for me to believe you
-Go away
-You want to arrest him for this reason
-How's that a crime?
-I'm not here to argue with you
-Go away don't stand here
-What if there's an ad for a job with 10 million wage
People will enquire after it, double the
size of this crowd. That's not an offence
I know what's an offence
not you
So many people are here
A hundred people have called
asking about it
Go away, don't stand around
I don't know they say it's
an offense
What offence? No one can make a
decision for what they own?
I've stood here since 6
in the morning, I swear
With my heart problem and
these legs
Listen Asadi he's talking
wait a few seconds
Hurry up
Officer
Go on Asadi
Naraghi street is completely
blocked
We can't send anyone your way
what do you suggest?
Send them all away. Send soldiers
on foot to help you
Can we use physical power?
-Can we get out?
-I highly doubt it
Let me know what to do sir
I messed up, don't
make it worse
These people have stood here all
night. Let them come up
Let me know what to do
Then I'll come wherever
whenever you say
Please
Get Amirian
Officer.
One minute
Yes sir
Announce that they only have
until 8 p.m.
Tomorrow and the day after
aren't there
You queue them up and
close the streets
-I was told to send them away
-How
Go on
I'll get the court order,
do what I told you
Yes sir
Prey to God nothing will happen
or you'll never go back home
No there's no problem, you just
have to give us time to start
-What did he say Jalal?
-It doesn't matter
-We don't have time send ten in at a time
-Look
Separate the ones who are
priority
Come in as tens
Come in, hi
That way please
-Come in
-One moment
Come inside
Sit here please
-I'll give you the forms
-Sorry
Your full name please
One moment. Khosro
Give them the forms so they
can fill in their details themselves
-Age
-37
-Occupation
-Hospital caretaker
-Single or married?
-Widowed
-How many kids do you have?
-Three
Explain
My husband passed away
three years ago
He fell from a building
His boss was supposed to
pay us
He said if you file a case
you won't get anything
We were afraid so we
didn't go to the court
He led us on for
2-3 months
He kept giving us little
money here and there
Then he never came around
I found his address
To find him
They said he's moved
It took me a year to
find him
He was standing outside his
shop with a few others
He said go upstairs
don't make a scene here
I went up
He locked the door
I can't anymore
I can't do it anymore
How many are there?
47 people now
I saw 116
Once it was 70 something
once 60 something
How many are yours?
64-5
Did you take some out?
Give me some water Jalal
Can I say something?
Your idea was stupid
I'm sorry
I didn't expect this
to happen
Go on
What should I say?
What do you want to?
I don't know
You have to choose someone
The boy who had anxiety
I thought we don't have
anyone worse
Ten more people came
he was the king of them
Put the adults to the side
-The kids with problems
-You're making it personal
-My story is personal
-If it's personal why let so many people know?
-Don't you think children are more vulnerable?
-No I don't
-Who says you know who's more worthy?
-I didn't
You should've thought
of it before
Thought of it that you can't
make a decision
Not to drag 2000
people here
How many people
were there today?
-I didn't count them Khosro
-Well you should have
-Don't be upset but it was very stupid
-I already accepted
-I accepted there and then
-If you have then okay
Get it together. Pick someone
and end it
Khosro I know you got
really tired today
-But I don't think this is the way
-Try to understand me
Every person has a limit
Sit here and listen all day
it'll kick off somewhere
Can I suggest something?
Give me the ones you picked
we'll mix them up with these
-We'll pick one
-Why spend so much time then?
-We could put their names in a hat
-That's not what it is
-We picked so many
-Based on what
Like you said this was
our logic
-Maybe some of the others are more in need
-That's my point
-I say–
-We're getting rid of it
-We're looking it as trouble
-I'm saying we can't judge
We can't pick either way
Get hold of him before
he runs off
What's going on?
-Someone threw a rock and ran off
-What are you here for then?
We're not here for your office
we're sending people away
-Go get him instead of arguing
-I'm not here to explain myself to you
Call the station if you're
unhappy
Shut this door, I can't stop anyone
if they try to come up
They make you say whatever
you can
It looks like it's one of the ones
who didn't get a turn
Yes
-Come pick
-What?
Didn't you say mix them up?
Don't make it sad Jalal
If you think you can pick
then do it
Say this but I'm not in
I can't do it anymore
None of them make a difference
anymore
It's not about that
-I wanted
-I know what you wanted
I say whoever you pick you'll
still feel guilty
Close your eyes and
pick one
We'll say it was their
destiny
Look at me
Anything else is wrong
don't doubt it
I'm sorry you went through
a lot today
Don't think about
it anymore
Mr. Ashtiani
What are you doing here?
What were all these people
doing here today?
Is she your daughter?
What's your name?
Didn't you say you quit
smoking last year?
Don't you want to talk?
Not about smoking
No about this
Jalal I wish you'd
ask my opinion
-I told you what I wanted to do
-You did but you didn't ask for my opinion
I knew what you thought
Then why did you talk about it?
You could've not told me the car was found
Suppose you never had it
-You said that, didn't you?
-That was when it was lost
Why should you think you don't
have it when it's found?
Why should you think that?
Do we seem very rich Jalal?
-You can't pay the rent if they don't pay you for a month
-Bita I'm not well
Can you not say anything?
It's not a little while, you've
been unwell for 11 years
Jalal he was my son
too!
You haven't been my husband
nor a father to your other son for 11 years
This is my certificate
that's Morteza's name
This is his photo
He hasn't gone to court yet but
the person in charge said
It's around 30 million
I swear Morteza didn't do anything
wrong. My cousin attacked him
He went to lift his head
it hit my cousin's nose
-Do you sleep here at night?
-Yeah
-But they said I only have until
-Sir this place
Place needs a caretaker
they've asked someone to come on Tuesday
Then what will you do?
I don't know
Sorry but have you chosen
Morteza's wife?
Yes
-Thank God
-Really?
But there's only one thing
I posted the ad for 30 million
But I can only pay half of it
-But they said around 30
-She's right
We went to their house with
my wife and father-in-law
We went to talk to them
but they didn't change their minds
Money is their excuse
they want her to leave him
I promised half of this
money to someone else
-Thank you, it's still so nice of you
-But they said they want 30 to let him go
I know but to be honest
I promised someone else
This money wasn't there
since the beginning
Hopefully you'll make him change
his mind with 15
Come to the office around 9
you have the address
-Yes
-Bye
-Bye
-Thank you
Excuse me! I wanted to
tell you something
I'll be off
I couldn't tell the other
man I met yesterday
I...
I...
I'm pregnant
If Morteza doesn't come out
I can't keep this baby
What are you looking for?
-Where is the gold?
-What for?
-I need them
-You need them or you want to do some more charity?
Why do you talk like that?
I'll replace them
-What use are they to you?
-I said I'll–
-Why do you argue with me?
-Should I?
You're giving your family's
money away
Wasn't the car enough?
You were the only one using it!
-Why do you keep bringing the car up Mitra?
-Should I?
When they took the car four months
ago you said suppose you didn't have it. Didn't you?
I was wrong, I wanted to
calm you down
Why do you act stupid Jalal?
Think
-What should I do?
-What's all this?
Why did you make a
fool of yourself
Sara's husband called saying
why is Jalal doing this?
You want to sell it, do that
why the ad?
You want to portray yourself
as a hero?
-If my wife says this what can I expect from others?
-What should I think?
-You never even asked my opinion
-I told you as the first person
You think I'm an idiot?
You think I don't know what your problem is?
I've lived 11 years with
your problem Jalal
Take a look at yourself
it's as if the kid has died yesterday
You think he'll get back
if you do this?
Look at what you did
to your hand
Why do you do this to yourself?
How many times have we been over this?
I swear my point isn't the car
forget that
Why do you do this
to yourself?
-You did everything you could back then too
-I should have done more
-If a human was out there, it would
-There weren't any around
-You believe in God, he decided it
-He didn't!
He didn't!
When I was in need of 5 million
no one was around
To help me so my kid doesn't
die in my arms
He was too smal to know God
He expected his dad to help him
so he doesn't die
I asked every single person for help
even these papers
Even these papers
-Some animals
-Drink this
Drink this
Let them all say what they want
they think I'm stupid
They want to say he's lost his mind?
They're looking for a sane person?
Here, here, here
I posted an ad for
my own problem
Why do you I don't
get it?
I told you he was my baby too
You're so mean Jalal
Here, there's only this one
The rest is in the bank
But I swear this isn't
the way
Look at me
It's 10
Why are you crying?
I won't go if you say no
Look at me
-We'll wait half an hour more
-Sure
Did you see your aunt?
Well... What happened?
Did they say they'll
change their mind with 15?
What do they say?
They say you either pay it all
or you leave Morteza
Did you cousin love you?
When did your parents
pass away?
-In the Baam earthquake
-Did you live in Baam?
-Where?
-Baravat
Don't you want to wait more?
No, she'd come if she
wanted to
-Can I ask something?
-Sure
Why do you do this?
You think I'm wrong too?
I don't know
You'll be late
-Yeah, we're waiting to see what happens
It's genuine right?
-I don't know, the police is here
-Why the police?
I don't know either
Two streets filled with people
Go away ma'am
They say come back later
-You're not in the mood
-No just a headache
-Did you go?
-Yeah
-What happened?
-Nothing
What do you mean?
Wasn't it genuine?
No, I don't know
There were so many people there.
The guy was arrested
I didn't stick around to
see what happens
You went all the way you might
as well have stayed
There were so many poor
people gathered
I might go tonight
-Did she have her baby?
-She went into labour late last night
We took her to the hospital
the guy turned up in the morning
-What did she call him?
-Amirali
Nice
-How are you?
-Did you say hello?
-Have the meat
-No I won't
Why not? You'll be hungry
in two hours again
I don't want it
Open your mouth
-I don't want any
-Okay, go play
Hi Ali
Don't bother, I just wanted
to see if you're okay
Say something so I
can hear you
Thank you, just wanted to
let you know I'll be late tonight
Helia is with me
Yes darling, Helia is with me
Go ahead, go on it's over
-It's over
-Send them away
-They won't see anyone
-Go away sir
Go sir, it's an offense
sir.
-They've told us no one should stay past 8
-Let us do our job
We've stood here all day
Rasoul send them away
go on sir
Go home, go away ma'am
-Hasn't anyone shut this door?
-My house is here
-Is your house is here or you want to see them?
-My house is here
Why did you ask if they
took him or not?
-I just asked
-So you're stood there for no reason too
Go stand outside your house
Get him, get hold of him
before he runs off
-What's going on?
-I don't know, someone threw a rock and ran
-What's your job then?
-I'm not your security, I'm here to send people away
Go find him instead
of arguing
I'm not responsible for this sir
call the station if you want
Shut this door I can't stop anyone
trying to get up there
Have you finished it?
Go bin the wrapper then
Mr. Ashtiani
What are you doing here?
What were all these people
doing here today?
Is she your daughter?
What's your name?
-I really wanted to see you
-I don't want to talk about it
To tell you why I left
I wanted that too
But I don't think of it anymore
Is your dad still upset
with me?
He died eight years ago
God bless his soul
When you left he said don't
ever speak Jalal's name again
He threw the ring you brought
into a charity box
Are you happy with your life?
Not bad, thank God
Do you have any kids?
Yes
Two boys
Yeah, how do you know?
I guessed
But now only one son
God took one away
The other one is a student
In Araq, first year of
engineering
How did the other one
pass away?
He got sick
God bless his soul
God bless a five year-old's soul?
I don't know what to say
Forget it
Don't you want to say
why you came?
What's the story behind
this ad?
-Do you take this bus?
-Yeah
-What was his job?
-Factory
I'm not saying we were rich
But we had a house
and a car
We went on two holidays
a year
-What was it he made?
-Baby clothes
He hadn't lost confidence
before this
It all started suddenly
Headaches, dizziness
nausea
Until now
He's lost the control
for everything
-Can he walk?
-He can't do anything
None of his limbs
nothing
What do the doctors say?
On his last MRI they said
it's a central nervous system issue
-Is it because of the accident?
-Yeah
If this operation is done,
will he be okay?
They say 80% of things
will be
-How much did they say?
-80%
No how much does it
cost?
His doctor said 16-17 million
I have to get off here
-Get up
-She'll get off here
Get up, we're here
Here's your bag, come on
I'm sorry I didn't want
to talk too much
-Here's your bag
-Give me a number
What for?
Don't you want him to
get better?
-Will you get off sir?
-I don't want to bother–
There's no bother, give me
a number
-Won't you get off sir?
-One minute, sorry
-Can I call the place?
-Call
But leave your name and
details don't forget
Hi, how are you doing?
Should I turn it off?
I'll be right back
Ali lift your leg
Why are you standing there?
Go get changed
Helia I said go get changed
don't stand there
It's nothing major, you want
to get upset over it again?
Move your leg
I went to that address today
-It was a prank
-No it wasn't
I explained our situation
They said unfortunately
They apologised a lot first
and said it's not possible
They said you're not a priority
Then I explained some more and
realised it's not possible
They said no, as I was about to
walk out, a guy said
"Are you Ali's wife?"
I said "yes"
"He said the handsome one?"
I said "yes!"
Then he said I'll get you some tea
offered me a seat
How much does it cost?
We'll pay it all
Don't mess about
I'm not messing, he said
we'll pay it all
Can you believe it?
I'm talking nonsense?
I swear I'm telling the truth
The first part was a joke yes
But when I explained they
asked some more, asked what's wrong
They said you're priority
we'll pay it
What?
-Is it a loan?
-Is it a loan? No
It's a grant. A charity
Why what?
-Why do they want to help?
-They have money and they want to help, that's all
My food is burning
I'll be right back
Didn't I ask you to get
changed?
How many times do I
need to say one thing?
You're still stood here?
Go on
What is it? Why do you
look at me like that?
The one who said is paying
for your operation
He took the same bus so
he came up to here
I'm telling you, the one who's
put up the ad
-He took the same bus
-Why did he come with you?
I'm telling you, I couldn't ask
him not to get on. Could I?
It's the public transport
not my car
Yes?
Yes?
-Was it an ad?
-Yes
Yes it was an ad
I swear it was
Wait let me show you
This is the ad I tried to show you
last night and you said it's not real
Look
30 million grant is given
to someone in need
To register, apply on Wednesday
Thursday and Friday from 9th May, which is today
Until the 12th May at this address
here's the address
Happy now?
I swear we were going
the same way
Ali have I ever lied to you?
Look at me Ali
Have I ever lied to you?
I'm not now either
I went there for the ad
I swear I didn't even know...
Who put the advert up
Who did?
But I swear on your life and
Helia's I didn't know
I swear when I saw him
I turned back
But I thought I'm just like everyone else
there was something there 20 years ago
Why should he even
remember me?
Did he remember?
Yeah, he did
Who said hi first?
What difference does it make?
It makes a difference
What do you mean?
Do you understand what
you're telling me?
Do you know what you're
saying?
You're so mean
You're so mean
-What are you doing here?
-Dad says he wants to sleep
Didn't you need the loo?
I'm not saying it for me
you'll have to get up in the middle of the night
Turn me around
You want to go in a mood?
Turn me around
Hi
What is it?
Come in and shut the door
Who's that boy?
-Which boy?
-The one you were on the bike with
-I wasn't on anyone's bike
-You weren't?
Didn't he drop you off at
Bolkar?
-I swear I wasn't–
-Shut up, don't swear
-Esmaeil I swear you saw wrong
-I'm wrong?
-You were hugging him
-Who was I hugging?
Setareh I'll beat you up
now tell me who was it?
Who was it?
-Wait, I swear I'll tell you
-Shut up and just tell me who he was
-Esmaeil please don't tell
-Who was the bastard?
Who was it?
-It was Morteza
-Who's Morteza?
Who's Morteza?
The guy who came here?
Why were you on his bike?
-He wants to come for proposal again
-So you should get on his bike?
Is he your boyfriend?
-Is he your boyfriend?
-No, Esmaeil can I tell you something?
-Just tell me what you were doing
-I will wait
Go on!
He wanted to come for proposal
to talk to aunt
-What did he want to say?
-Esmaeil please don't tell auntie
He came and my mum said no
so you hang out with him?
-Let's go to his house
-Please Esmaeil
-I want to see him
-He has no house
-Does he sleep in a grave then?
-He sleep at his workplace, listen to me
-Call him
-Let's go inside I will
I want to see what the hell
he wants from you
Everyone has seen you two
together, what are you worried about?
-I swear it was my first time
-Call him
-Call him. Call him now
-I will
Dial his number I said
Call him now
Here's your phone
call him
-Please
-I want to see what this bastard wants
Call him, call him I said
Esmaeil give me my
phone back
-I'll tell you I swear
-Let go of my hand
-Which one is he?
-I swear I'll tell you what's happened
-Don't you want to know? I'll tell you.
-Tell me what?
Go on
Tell me
Go on!
Me and Morteza
-Morteza and I
-What about you and Morteza?
-We're related
-What?
What do you mean related?
What do you mean?
Temporary marriage?
Temporary marriage?
How then?
You got married?
You did?
Does my mum know?
Setareh you live here and my
mum doesn't know you're married?
How did you get married?
-We went to the registry office
-Didn't they ask for a guardian?
-They said they need my dad's permission
-What did you say?
-I showed my dad's death certificate
-So they said okay?
They said okay?
What the hell did you
do Setareh?
The hell did you do
You've lived in our house
my mum doesn't know you're married?
-She wouldn't accept
-So you had to go behind her back with the bastard?
Shut up and don't say his
name in front of me
Don't name the bastard
in front of me
So you were with him the whole time
you said you're studying at the library?
Where did you go?
-Where did you go?
-Stop it Esmaeil
Shut up I said
So how come when I spent money
on you, you never told me about it?
I won't let you live Setareh
I won't
-Setareh is it you?
-Yes auntie
Why didn't you use the
bathroom inside?
-Why did you tell him?
-I had to
-Why?
-He took my phone, I was afraid he'd see the texts
-You'd say something else
-What would I say?
He'd see me with you, he said
you'd hugged him
-It's none of his business
-He made a scene
He was shouting at the
top of his lungs
-You're telling the truth Setareh, right?
-About what?
You said you fell over
-Where did you fall?
-Outside the house
-Setareh did he hit you or you fell?
-I fell
-Did he hit you Setareh?
-He didn't
-I said he hit you?
-Suppose he did, what can you do?
-What can I do?
-Morteza I said he didn't
-He didn't
-He didn't I swear on my life
-Swear on my life
-I swear on my life he didn't
What do we do Morteza?
Pull your scarf
-He doesn't know about the doctor?
-No
-What if he searches your stuff and finds it?
-No he doesn't do that sort of thing
Our troubles are never-ending
I'll show my ID, she's
my wife legally
My aunt will die
my life is over
I came forward like then times
what else was I supposed to do?
We haven't committed a crime
Bring your mum again she
might accept it
I don't have any parents where
do I find one from?
Didn't I bring her once
Did anything change?
They won't allow it they think
I'm a piece of shit
Everyone is great
Morteza what do I do if
he's told my aunt?
So you keep saying.
Go get your stuff and let's go
You've said that a hundred times
what about my aunt?
I've lived with them
What should I do? Come for my own
wife's proposal ten more times to hear no?
I'm not saying forever
we'll be back in a few months
-We'll make it up to them and apologise
-Come tomorrow
Talk to my aunt and say
"I'll make her happy"
Say something for them
to say yes
-What if they say no again?
-We'll think of something then
No then you'll do as I say
you pack your stuff and we'll leave
Setareh for real this time if they
say no, you'll come with me
Esmaeil isn't home till 4 okay?
Text me when you get here
-Okay?
-Okay
-Get on
-No, Esmaeil might see me again
-He won't
-No, just come tomorrow Morteza, okay?
Drive slowly
Fix your collar
I can't reach it
Can't you hear it?
This phone is ringing off the hook
I do auntie, I'm coming
Hi, no I was in the bathroom
what happened?
No nothing had happened
Our street?
No in five minutes
okay?
Are you well dressed?
Thanks
No
Ring the bottom bell
when you get here
Bye
-Why did you bring these in?
-They were dry
They're not dry they're damp
they'll smell
Let me see your lip
don't touch it so it'll heal quicker
I told Hassan to fix this door
there's no man in this house
Yes?
Who are you?
Who are you after?
Okay wait a few moments
-Take these up so I can see who it is
-Is Esmaeil home?
Yeah he said he won't go
to work today
I'm not very comfortable talking
here ma'am
You're a decent man
why do you come here everytime?
I don't know how to
tell you
This isn't the way
What is the way?
I'll do that
Setareh go inside darling
You should come with
your family
To have the prospects
The girl's family will consider
it and let him know
How many times have I said no
you don't suit my daughter
Sorry to be frank but you
don't have a decent job
-I do have a job ma'am
-Didn't you say you're security?
It's temporary I swear. It's just so
that I don't have to pay rent
I'm saving my money and this
man has promised to find me a decent job
-It means I'm a -
-Yes you're a decent lad
We never said you weren't
But it's important who
your family is
-Where people come from
-I don't have one, what should I do?
My dad passed away years ago
my mum got married
-Her husband won't let her see me
-Is that my fault?
So you're saying if someone doesn't
have parents they should never get married?
Maybe there are some people out
there who are okay with it
-But it matters to me
-I have a diploma
I'm not an addict, I've served military
service and have a job, does that not matter?
Just parents?
Does Setareh– I'll make your
daughter happy, I swear I'm telling the truth
Don't just think of saying no
Your destiny isn't here
-You should find someone to suit you
-What the hell are you doing here?
Watch your language
-What is it?
-Why did you open the door Aziz?
-What is it?
-Don't hit her!
-What the hell do you want here?
-What is it?
I'll swear, and do whatever the hell
I want too
-Tell me what's wrong
-Get inside
Get inside, I want to have a word
step aside Aziz
-Step aside Aziz
-Go on tell me
Tell them what's happened.
He's here for a proposal
Whose side are you on Aziz?
Do you know what these two have done?
-What is it?
-What's wrong?
-Tell her
-I said don't hit her
You come for a proposal now?
Let me see what he says
These two pieces of shit
have already gotten married
-He's lying Aziz
-Who got married?
I'm lying? Go get your certificate
-Who got married?
-What is he saying Setareh?
What does he mean?
Who got married?
He's written a letter
-Don't tell auntie
-What have I done wrong?
I came here like ten times and you
said I have to bring my parents
-I don't have any, what should I do?
-You wouldn't do this if you did
Don't hit him please
What is he saying?
I'm talking to you
listen to me
It's none of your business
It's a family matter
Let me see what happened
It's none of your business
-Let go of him you scumbag
-You get back in
-Don't hit him
-Let me see what happened
Hold your head up
Hold your head up so it
stops bleeding
You talk shit now?
-Don't hit him
-Who told you to come out?
Get back inside
-I'll send your dead body home
-Don't!
-Hold your head up
-I said it's nothing dad
-I said hold your head up
-It's nothing
Don't hit him
-I'll teach him
-Get back in
Let go of him
Enough Behjat
get inside
Morteza can't come for a few days
so I came instead
Has something come up?
No he can't come
Is there something wrong?
-He's been arrested
-Why?
-He had a fight
-He wasn't the type
He didn't do anything
it was because of me
Where is he right now?
Do you know?
No, they took him to the
station
Don't worry, it'll be okay
Can I stay here until
Morteza gets back?
In Morteza's room?
I'll do whatever the job is
I don't know I should
discuss it with management
I don't think they'll
allow it
-I swear I'm his wife I have proof
-I know
I'd seen you here before.
Morteza had mentioned it before too
He hadn't lied to you
I can do whatever he used to
do now
I need to discuss it with the
management. It's too late right now
You come back tomorrow
and I'll call
-Do you have a place to stay tonight?
-No
Well, where do you want
to go now?
I don't know
Wait let me make a phone call
hope they're not asleep
He's a surgeon, he goes to
the hospital to the theatre
That's why he sleeps early
Hello sir
What are you doing here?
-I went to the station, they said you're here
-What happened last night?
-Nothing I didn't stay there
-Why not?
-They threw my stuff out
-Hurry up sir!
-My aunt wouldn't listen either
-Where did you go then?
Your place
-Hurry up sir
-One minute, right
The guy who was there,
called management
-I said I'm his wife
-This isn't the time to meet
Lower your voice! Keep your phone
switched on, I'll call you, okay?
Don't worry
-One minute sorry
-It's my turn ma'am
-One minute sorry, excuse me!
-Yes ma'am?
I'm here for the case of
the fight
Have a seat,
what's his name?
-What's your relationship?
-He's my husband
-Are you Setareh Kouchan?
-Yes
Why didn't you tell your family?
-What happens next?
-I don't know
We'll write a report to the judge
it's probably fines and compensation
-Don't put this here, give it to him
-They asked to bring it here
-Ask him to sign it
-How much is it?
I don't know, it says broken nose
and deformed septum
-It's not minor
-How much is it?
I can't tell you precisely
a fifth of the whole amount
Around 30
-30
-Million
Rezaee ask for tea
Go ask him to give consent
he's your cousing right?
Go ask him
you're family
Bring your paperwork sir
Why didn't you wait last night
so I could give you money?
The neighbours were watching
when Esmaeil did that
If you wouldn't have done what you did
why would Esmail do this?
Where were you last night?
Morteza's workplace
You fool
You think you deserve to live
in a security cubicle?
Get inside the cellar so Esmaeil
doesn't see you, so I can see what I can do
-Esmaeil filed a case he wants compensation
-It's his decision not mine
Compensation or prison
whatever
-Morteza has no money
-He should have throught it through
He never did anything wrong
Esmaeil attacked him
-Can't you talk to him?
-What would I say?
What do I say? Give consent for you
to get back to this guy's arms?
-How dare you Setareh!
-I just don't want my husband to be in prison
Shut up! You name this
marriage?
-"My husband"
-Didn't he beg you?
-Did you ever ask me?
-It's not up to you
You said he has no family
He brought his mum with so much trouble
she had a little make-up on, you said they're not good enough
-What should he do?
-When did I say that?
Everytime he knocks this door
this is called a proposal?
If I'd let you marry
someone like this
What would I say to your late dad?
How long has it been?
Five months
You just got married?
What do you mean?
-Was it just marriage?
-Who's at the door Aziz?
-Get inside, I'm talking
-Who is it I asked
-Get inside I'll tell you
-If she steps inside I'll leave forever
-Fine, I said lower your voice
-I swear I'm not joking
-You'll never see me again
-Fine
-Tell him I won't I just need his consent
-I won't ever
You forget about the guy
I'll speak to Esmaeil
I won't leave Morteza
You want to ruin your life?
Is life a joke to you?
Think!
This boy will be discharged
and you'll get back home
Apologise to Hassan from me
I didn't think this would happen
Bye
Please mind the door
Miss?
-Yes
-Where's Morteza?
-Won't he get back?
-He will, he's on vacation
I have a large suitcase
can you take it?
Yeah I'll be right there
-Yes
-It's Saber
One moment, I'll be
right there
Yes
This is Morteza's wages
up until yesterday
Doctor said I should
let you go
-So I should go?
-He didn't say anything about that
But when they let someone go
they start looking for someone else
But I've done all of his work
the past few days
I know, but they've asked for
Morteza a few times
Morteza used to park their
cars here
They're unhappy.
How much time do
I have?
I don't know, until
the end of next week maybe
-Any news from Morteza?
-He's in prison
-Prison or station?
-Prison
I thought it was an
ordinary fight
Why is it take so long?
What happened?
-They want money
-How much?
Around 30
You could've spoken to them
I did, they won't
change their mind
Don't worry, God will help
Morteza is a decent man
God will help him
-Thank you
-Bye for now
Yes
Yes
They published an ad
on Hamshahri yesterday
On the 15th or 16th page
It might be of use to you
I don't have the paper here
otherwise I'd give it to you
Give me your number, I'll
text you the details when I get home
My number
I don't have a phone
-Okay, suit yourself
-What is it about?
-Look at it yourself, bye
-Sure thanks
-Your relationship?
-He's my husband
-I'd missed you
-I missed you too
-Are you comfortable there?
-Where?
-My room
-Yeah it's good
They paid me up until
6th
-That's good how much was it?
-345 toman
-You didn't tell them right?
-No
I said you're away
I only told Saber
That's okay he's nice
-Lock the door at night
-Okay
Don't cry it's nothing
I'll be out soon
They won't let you
come out Morteza
-I'll be out, I'll fix it
-How?
Where will you get all
this money from?
Did you go to the doctor?
-Did you?
-Yes
Is the baby okay?
Didn't they tell you
the gender?
-I didn't ask
-You didn't?
No they said it's too early
Yes darling
My aunt has a condition for
bailing you out
What is it?
-They said I should leave you
-What did you tell them?
I said I wouldn't leave you
Cool
-Morteza I don't want you to be in there
-I won't be in here forever
If we don't have the money
they'll keep you in here
Well... What can we do? We have to
wait and see what happens
What will happen? Saber said
they're replacing you
Replacing me?
At work?
That's unfair
Where will I go if I can't
stay there?
What do I do with
this baby?
I'll call the guy
What will happen if you do?
They'll give me a few days'
more. Then what?
-Morteza if you don't come out
-Let me think
-The baby will get bigger too
-I said don't say anything
-Why do you shout at me?
-I'm not, I said let me think
What is it?
What is it
-Nothing
-What do you mean?
-You said Morteza
-No
Tell me
I thought what would happen
if you don't come out
Well... How should I come out?
What are you thinking of?
You're so mean
-You're so mean
-I didn't say anything
I didn't say anything Morteza
Morteza I didn't say anything
It says 8
Yes sure
-Are you the ad owner?
-No
It's a chaos. People have queued
from Saheb to here
-Why is the police here?
-I don't know
-I'm sorry I changed a few things around
-It's okay
-Did you get the forms ready?
-Yeah, I left them on that table
Hi, yes?
-Who has posted this ad?
-I have officer
What's all this show?
It's an ad
You've created a scene
for little money
What's your problem sir?
Why I posted an ad? Or why a number of
people are outside? Which one exactly?
Look out from the window
Is this a number?
-Every ad raises some interest
-Look outside I said
Is this a joke?
-Is this 'a number of people'?
-Why do you get angry? Have a seat
-Who are you?
-I'm the owner of the office
-So this is your ad
-I'll explain
I'm Foroutan. The owner
of the officer
This is Mr. Hashemi my friend,
he's a teacher
He asked me to let him use the
office for three days
-That's all
-What's your occupation here?
-This is an advertising office
-Do you check every ad on the paper?
Amirian, take him downstairs
One second. Please Mr. Amirian
-I want to know what the problem is
-Large crowds can't stay out here
That's not our problem
He posted an ad and wanted
to do a good deed, he didn't know this would happen
People donate twice as much
but don't let anyone find out
You want to donate 30 million
why have you gathered so many people?
-To say you're a great person?
-Yeah
I'm an attention seeker
what's your problem?
I arrest attention seekers
bring him down
-Wait
-No need for cuffs, bring him
-Stay quiet
-I'll sue you for slander
He wants to donate his money
like this. How's that illegal?
We'll see at the station
take him down
You won't even let me explain
no offence has been made
-Why are you arresting him?
-Public attention
-What public attention?
-Send them away
If the police wasn't here,
people would stand quietly in a queue
It was an ad, why are you
making it so complicated?
Show me an ad like this one
for me to believe you
-Go away
-You want to arrest him for this reason
-How's that a crime?
-I'm not here to argue with you
-Go away don't stand here
-What if there's an ad for a job with 10 million wage
People will enquire after it, double the
size of this crowd. That's not an offence
I know what's an offence
not you
So many people are here
A hundred people have called
asking about it
Go away, don't stand around
I don't know they say it's
an offense
What offence? No one can make a
decision for what they own?
I've stood here since 6
in the morning, I swear
With my heart problem and
these legs
Listen Asadi he's talking
wait a few seconds
Hurry up
Officer
Go on Asadi
Naraghi street is completely
blocked
We can't send anyone your way
what do you suggest?
Send them all away. Send soldiers
on foot to help you
Can we use physical power?
-Can we get out?
-I highly doubt it
Let me know what to do sir
I messed up, don't
make it worse
These people have stood here all
night. Let them come up
Let me know what to do
Then I'll come wherever
whenever you say
Please
Get Amirian
Officer.
One minute
Yes sir
Announce that they only have
until 8 p.m.
Tomorrow and the day after
aren't there
You queue them up and
close the streets
-I was told to send them away
-How
Go on
I'll get the court order,
do what I told you
Yes sir
Prey to God nothing will happen
or you'll never go back home
No there's no problem, you just
have to give us time to start
-What did he say Jalal?
-It doesn't matter
-We don't have time send ten in at a time
-Look
Separate the ones who are
priority
Come in as tens
Come in, hi
That way please
-Come in
-One moment
Come inside
Sit here please
-I'll give you the forms
-Sorry
Your full name please
One moment. Khosro
Give them the forms so they
can fill in their details themselves
-Age
-37
-Occupation
-Hospital caretaker
-Single or married?
-Widowed
-How many kids do you have?
-Three
Explain
My husband passed away
three years ago
He fell from a building
His boss was supposed to
pay us
He said if you file a case
you won't get anything
We were afraid so we
didn't go to the court
He led us on for
2-3 months
He kept giving us little
money here and there
Then he never came around
I found his address
To find him
They said he's moved
It took me a year to
find him
He was standing outside his
shop with a few others
He said go upstairs
don't make a scene here
I went up
He locked the door
I can't anymore
I can't do it anymore
How many are there?
47 people now
I saw 116
Once it was 70 something
once 60 something
How many are yours?
64-5
Did you take some out?
Give me some water Jalal
Can I say something?
Your idea was stupid
I'm sorry
I didn't expect this
to happen
Go on
What should I say?
What do you want to?
I don't know
You have to choose someone
The boy who had anxiety
I thought we don't have
anyone worse
Ten more people came
he was the king of them
Put the adults to the side
-The kids with problems
-You're making it personal
-My story is personal
-If it's personal why let so many people know?
-Don't you think children are more vulnerable?
-No I don't
-Who says you know who's more worthy?
-I didn't
You should've thought
of it before
Thought of it that you can't
make a decision
Not to drag 2000
people here
How many people
were there today?
-I didn't count them Khosro
-Well you should have
-Don't be upset but it was very stupid
-I already accepted
-I accepted there and then
-If you have then okay
Get it together. Pick someone
and end it
Khosro I know you got
really tired today
-But I don't think this is the way
-Try to understand me
Every person has a limit
Sit here and listen all day
it'll kick off somewhere
Can I suggest something?
Give me the ones you picked
we'll mix them up with these
-We'll pick one
-Why spend so much time then?
-We could put their names in a hat
-That's not what it is
-We picked so many
-Based on what
Like you said this was
our logic
-Maybe some of the others are more in need
-That's my point
-I say–
-We're getting rid of it
-We're looking it as trouble
-I'm saying we can't judge
We can't pick either way
Get hold of him before
he runs off
What's going on?
-Someone threw a rock and ran off
-What are you here for then?
We're not here for your office
we're sending people away
-Go get him instead of arguing
-I'm not here to explain myself to you
Call the station if you're
unhappy
Shut this door, I can't stop anyone
if they try to come up
They make you say whatever
you can
It looks like it's one of the ones
who didn't get a turn
Yes
-Come pick
-What?
Didn't you say mix them up?
Don't make it sad Jalal
If you think you can pick
then do it
Say this but I'm not in
I can't do it anymore
None of them make a difference
anymore
It's not about that
-I wanted
-I know what you wanted
I say whoever you pick you'll
still feel guilty
Close your eyes and
pick one
We'll say it was their
destiny
Look at me
Anything else is wrong
don't doubt it
I'm sorry you went through
a lot today
Don't think about
it anymore
Mr. Ashtiani
What are you doing here?
What were all these people
doing here today?
Is she your daughter?
What's your name?
Didn't you say you quit
smoking last year?
Don't you want to talk?
Not about smoking
No about this
Jalal I wish you'd
ask my opinion
-I told you what I wanted to do
-You did but you didn't ask for my opinion
I knew what you thought
Then why did you talk about it?
You could've not told me the car was found
Suppose you never had it
-You said that, didn't you?
-That was when it was lost
Why should you think you don't
have it when it's found?
Why should you think that?
Do we seem very rich Jalal?
-You can't pay the rent if they don't pay you for a month
-Bita I'm not well
Can you not say anything?
It's not a little while, you've
been unwell for 11 years
Jalal he was my son
too!
You haven't been my husband
nor a father to your other son for 11 years
This is my certificate
that's Morteza's name
This is his photo
He hasn't gone to court yet but
the person in charge said
It's around 30 million
I swear Morteza didn't do anything
wrong. My cousin attacked him
He went to lift his head
it hit my cousin's nose
-Do you sleep here at night?
-Yeah
-But they said I only have until
-Sir this place
Place needs a caretaker
they've asked someone to come on Tuesday
Then what will you do?
I don't know
Sorry but have you chosen
Morteza's wife?
Yes
-Thank God
-Really?
But there's only one thing
I posted the ad for 30 million
But I can only pay half of it
-But they said around 30
-She's right
We went to their house with
my wife and father-in-law
We went to talk to them
but they didn't change their minds
Money is their excuse
they want her to leave him
I promised half of this
money to someone else
-Thank you, it's still so nice of you
-But they said they want 30 to let him go
I know but to be honest
I promised someone else
This money wasn't there
since the beginning
Hopefully you'll make him change
his mind with 15
Come to the office around 9
you have the address
-Yes
-Bye
-Bye
-Thank you
Excuse me! I wanted to
tell you something
I'll be off
I couldn't tell the other
man I met yesterday
I...
I...
I'm pregnant
If Morteza doesn't come out
I can't keep this baby
What are you looking for?
-Where is the gold?
-What for?
-I need them
-You need them or you want to do some more charity?
Why do you talk like that?
I'll replace them
-What use are they to you?
-I said I'll–
-Why do you argue with me?
-Should I?
You're giving your family's
money away
Wasn't the car enough?
You were the only one using it!
-Why do you keep bringing the car up Mitra?
-Should I?
When they took the car four months
ago you said suppose you didn't have it. Didn't you?
I was wrong, I wanted to
calm you down
Why do you act stupid Jalal?
Think
-What should I do?
-What's all this?
Why did you make a
fool of yourself
Sara's husband called saying
why is Jalal doing this?
You want to sell it, do that
why the ad?
You want to portray yourself
as a hero?
-If my wife says this what can I expect from others?
-What should I think?
-You never even asked my opinion
-I told you as the first person
You think I'm an idiot?
You think I don't know what your problem is?
I've lived 11 years with
your problem Jalal
Take a look at yourself
it's as if the kid has died yesterday
You think he'll get back
if you do this?
Look at what you did
to your hand
Why do you do this to yourself?
How many times have we been over this?
I swear my point isn't the car
forget that
Why do you do this
to yourself?
-You did everything you could back then too
-I should have done more
-If a human was out there, it would
-There weren't any around
-You believe in God, he decided it
-He didn't!
He didn't!
When I was in need of 5 million
no one was around
To help me so my kid doesn't
die in my arms
He was too smal to know God
He expected his dad to help him
so he doesn't die
I asked every single person for help
even these papers
Even these papers
-Some animals
-Drink this
Drink this
Let them all say what they want
they think I'm stupid
They want to say he's lost his mind?
They're looking for a sane person?
Here, here, here
I posted an ad for
my own problem
Why do you I don't
get it?
I told you he was my baby too
You're so mean Jalal
Here, there's only this one
The rest is in the bank
But I swear this isn't
the way
Look at me
It's 10
Why are you crying?
I won't go if you say no
Look at me
-We'll wait half an hour more
-Sure
Did you see your aunt?
Well... What happened?
Did they say they'll
change their mind with 15?
What do they say?
They say you either pay it all
or you leave Morteza
Did you cousin love you?
When did your parents
pass away?
-In the Baam earthquake
-Did you live in Baam?
-Where?
-Baravat
Don't you want to wait more?
No, she'd come if she
wanted to
-Can I ask something?
-Sure
Why do you do this?
You think I'm wrong too?
I don't know
You'll be late
