Ragbar (1972) - full transcript

Downpour

Watch out! What's the rush?
Are you blind?

Well, the furniture are here.

Thanks a lot.

What a place you've dragged me into.

Couldn't you find a better place?

Never mind! Help me to take them in.

You don't expect me to take
them in, do you?

Would you let us to help?

No dear. Move away.

This way I can't earn anything.



You should somehow make
it up to me!

Don't you think you can get away
with splashing people.

Help me! Help me! Police...

Hold it! Where do you think
you're going?

Good day. Are these yours?

Mind the walls. They're
freshly painted.

You ought to teach him
some manners.

I had better days, you know.

He should've said sorry
at least.

You have to forgive him. Maybe he was tired.
Look at all these!

This is no excuse.

It's is the manner that people
have no more.

No gentlemen around anymore!

I should've broken some of the furniture,
so he would know who I am.



Something wrong?

I think I'm stung by a bee.

Nevermind. I heard you've paid
two months of rent in advance.

Yes, why?

Oh God. So you're from the upper
class too!

So you understand me very well, don't you?

Unfortunately, not at all.

I should've known better.

I should've broken some of your furniture.

Has she gone for God's sake?

What a weird person!

Get off quickly.

We're taking care of them.

No worries. We're careful with the walls.

What happened?

It's the heavy load, you know.
What else did you expect?

And still, you don't want to pay
an extra for it?

Please be very careful with them.

Hello Mr Hekmati.

Good day Mr Rahim.
How are you?

Do you like your room?

Why shouldn’t I?

It's close to my workplace.

Wish you a good stay here.

I'm very thankful. It's because of your word that
someone accepted me as a tenant.

No problem at all.

I really mean it. Many rejected
me for being single.

Let’s have a tea.

Thanks. I need to open the shop.

See you around.

Sure. Have a good day.

Are you keeping an eye?

Yes. No worries.

Thanks.

What a beautiful flowerpot.
Is it genuine?

It was my mother's.

She loved it so much.
Be careful with it.

Who has tied this on your back?

Gentlemen, please go to your classes.

Quiet. The manager is here.

Attention.

At ease!

Children, this is your
new teacher.

Mr Hekmati.

Mr. Hekmati is a very experienced teacher.

I have the honor of knowing him.

Mr Hekmati is a young man
filled with faith and energy.

Best of luck to
you all!

Well, now that we have been introduced,

we should be more careful.

Any question?

Sir, which existed first,
the hen or the egg?

Which is bigger? A circle or a rectangular?

What happened to the Earth yesterday?

Well, let's start.

You!

Get out.

Out!

Well, how you ended up in this school?

It was not my choice.

Everyone says that.

There was a school very close
to my place.

I asked the authorities to
send me there.

It was nearby, and
it was newly built.

But it was an all girl school.

And I'm a bachelor.

To work there, I had to
have a wife,

which I didn't have.

What a good collection of books.

Well, I've inherited them
from my father.

Reading arouses me.

So you are interested in books.

What about you?

This is more than enough
for the school.

Besides, I'm married.

Teaches, it's the class time.

- Mr Hekmati.
- I'm evaluating the papers.

- No class?
- No.

Lucky you.

I myself have a class.

Mr Mousa.

Bring tea for Mr Hekmati.

Finally I found you Mr headmaster.

Mr headmaster, I've come here
to complain about that guy.

He has kicked my brother
out of the classroom.

Tell my why?

Is it right what your
new teacher has done?

I'm paying for the enrolment.

I'm buying him books, cloths, and shoes.

Then, a new teacher comes
and wants to show off his power.

Don't you question him?

You should ask him about his behavior.

Lady, you are making a mistake here.

Mistake??

So you're taking the side of that sir.

Of course.

Look at my hands.

You see them, don't you?

Yes, yes. They're injured.

I'm working my ass off to pay
the expenses of the school.

Money doesn't grow on trees.

I'm tacking and sewing three round-the-clock,
so my brother could study.

Then, an ignorant shows up
and kicks him out.

Oh, I just got the story.

Yes, my brother.

That innocent kid.

Where is the new teacher? If he has
the courage, tell him to show up.

Lady, that punishment was necessary.

What are you saying headmaster?

If the kid was from a rich family,
would you do the same?

My brother is studying all the time
to become someone for himself.

His dreams must fall due to
the arrival of a new teacher?

I just want to see him,
that's it.

I don't need anyone's advice.
I teach him a lesson.

No problem.

Sorry about that.

I'm not the headmaster.

You're not?

No. You made a mistake.

I'm the new teacher.

You...

I made a fool of myself...

talking to you.

Hey comrades, here I am.

The sport teacher has arrived.

I haven't done anything wrong.

If you have the sport class now,
why you don't have the sport outfit?

And if you've got another class,
what are you doing here?

- I swear I haven't done anything wrong.
- We'll see that.

He's escaped the class sir.

I swear I haven't.

I need to catch my class.

Line up!

Ready?

Shouldn’t you be in your class?

It's not my fault.

Mr Hekmati kicked me out
for no reason.

It can't be for no reason. Probably,
you were not attentive.

Oh, ask the students who's
not been attentive.

It's he himself who's not been
attentive for the last few days.

- He's just looking for some excuses.
- Enough of that!

You think I'm lying? It was
in your office that...

I was not the only witness.

Everyone saw it.

Should I tell you where
his attention has gone?

His attention is with...

His attention...

has been with Mosayyeb's sister.

She was in your office the other day.

- Which Mosayyeb?
- The one in our class.

Atefeh is her sister's name.

Mr Hekmati's attention went
away with her.

Don't say these to anyone else.

Ok? And you'll go to the class after the break.
And you behave in the class.

Move away.

- Mr Mousa.
- Yes headmaster.

I've heard a woman was
in my office the other day.

It was Mosayyeb's sister, the one
who is working in the sewing shop.

Gentlemen, I've got a news for you.

I told him the story
of what we'd seen.

What a beautiful tie you have
on today Mr Hekmati.

It's the one I've been
wearing all along.

Really?

What a beautiful tie
you have on today.

Of course I'm fed up.

Everyone is bullying me.

"What a female attraction perfume
you're wearing!"

They are hinting at something.

Hints shouldn't upset you.

Unless there's something to
be upset about.

Wait, but there's nothing.

There's nothing.

God bless Mohammad and
his family.

Look who's here.

- Where have you been till now?
- I had some extra classes.

Mosayyeb is here Ms.

Take money from the drawer.

You've learnt the shopping, don't you?
Don't get trashes.

I'll get the medicines for mother.

Ms, I took 6 tomans.

Look after mother.

- I need it for tomorrow.
- It'll be ready by the afternoon.

How are you my dear?

Send my regards to your mother.

Goodbye.

Have a nice evening.

It'll be ready by tomorrow.

You should study well.

What's eating you?

Our teacher has fallen in love.

Come again?

Mr Hekmati has fallen
in love with a girl.

No way! You kidding me?

Who's the girl?

I don't know, but she's
from this neighborhood.

Enough of that!

Go home and take
care of mother.

And don't forget your homework.

Go now.

You shouldn’t shout at him.

He gets bored by himself at home.

- Did you talk to Mr Rahim?
- No.

Think of yourself a bit.

I can't talk to him.
I have nothing to say.

Yes! He's so kind.

He's done a lot of
good to me.

But this is about my life.

He said he would wait.

Every evening he sends me
a packet of meat.

But, is that the price of my life?

- Excuse me.
- Come in.

Hello there.

Mr Rahim sent you this
pack of meat.

He asked if you have
any answer for him.

No...Not yet.

Miss.

Wait a moment Miss.

Hello.

Yes?

I don't know whether I should
talk to your or not.

- You know what people are like.
- Then why you talked?

No. Wait a moment please.

I just wanted to explain why
I didn't say hello in the first place.

Ok. Thanks.

- I told you there's nothing between us.
- She's working nearby, doesn't she?

- She's an attractive girl.
- I hate these kind of talks.

Why? What's wrong with being in love?

I wish I were you the young man.

But what about my family?
My age?

I'm busy with my family.

I've got a wife and eight kids.

Tell me honestly.

Don't you think of her at all?

Now, I can't say "No" anymore.

With all the gossips, I can't
stop thinking of her.

Come on!

But I insist, there's nothing
between us.

I'm sorry. I can't believe you.

- Wasn't Mr Hekmati that just passed by?
- No.

I thought it was him.

Have you heard the gossips?

People enjoy backbiting.

They wouldn't let anyone alone.

- Don't be upset.
- Why not? Gossips, gossips.

I don't know what I've
done wrong.

You're interested in him, aren’t you?

Interest?

I have so many things to be concerned
about. Have no time for love.

Let me look at it.

If you like him,
go away with him.

I'm stuck here.

But what about you?

Think of yourself a bit.

Don't spoil yourself here.

Hello mother.

Have you taken your medicines?

How's your heart?

Don't look at me like that.
I'm just tired.

Where's Mosayyeb?

Why he's not turning off
the light when he sleeps?

Who's going to pay for
the electricity?

I'm tired mother.

If you only knew
how tired I am.

Mosayyeb's mark seems
to have improved lately.

Stop bullying me.

Alright, I'll cut his mark
by another two.

This's not fair to the kid.

To prove that you're wrong,
I'm taking harder on him.

Why you're pretending that
you're taking hard on him?

What you want to prove?

I want to prove the gossips
are wrong.

If there's nothing, why
you need to prove something?

Our classmates have gone to
that action movie. Have you seen it?

Every time I go watch it,
I stay in the theater for two sessions.

I envy you. You don't
need to study.

You're sure that you get
the highest marks.

Mr Hekmati is very
nice to you.

On the contrary, he gives
me the least marks.

Don't lie to me.
I know everything.

He visits your house often.
He's your private teacher.

Who the hell says that?

Everyone knows that he's 
fallen for your sister.

Liar.

Everyone knows but you.

I'll kill him.

I'll kill him.

Tell the teacher to come out.
Tell him Mosayyeb is here.

Mr Hekmati is not at home.

Then I'll sit here.

What's wrong?

They talk behind my sister.

What they say?

They say you have
have fallen for her.

That's not true.

I know that sir. But
I can't make them believe.

My sister is decent. It's not
nice to have these gossips on her back.

They say you give me good
marks because of my sister.

What a shameless thing
to say.

No sir. I can't.

Maybe he deserved this mark.

His paper is blank.

But if he were the other boy,
would the teacher give him such a mark?

Which boy you're referring?

Don't pretend you don't know.

Everyone knows that you
double his marks.

Sir, please stop the nonsense.

Sure. Who should've high
marks if not him?!

I've had enough.

This should end at some point.

I'll end the story. Everyone must know
that there's nothing between us.

I don't have the slightest
feelings for her.

And I don't think she has
anything for me as well.

I need to meet your sister.

I need to tell her that she
should not pay attention to these gossips.

I will tell her the truth
in front of everyone.

I need to meet her right
here, right now.

But no! Maybe not in front
of everyone.

Somewhere else...

Nevertheless, I need to meet her
as soon as possible.

Dear lady, it's all a misunderstanding.
There's nothing between us.

I don't have the slightest
feelings for you.

It's all a mistake. There's nothing between us.
I don't have the slightest feelings for you.

Hello...

Tell my quickly what
you had to tell me.

Yes. I'll tell you right now.

Dear lady...

Dear lady...

What a pleasant weather.

It's really nice being all
alone with you.

Far from all those intruding eyes.

You've got me all the way here.
Well. What is it you want to tell?

I'll tell you...

Dear lady...

I love you.

Good day Mr Hekmati.

Hello there Mr Rahim.

How are you doing
Mr Hekmati?

Is everything alright?

Thanks a lot.

You've not visited me recently.

You've totally forgotten me?

Why are you doing that
Mr Rahim?

Go away kids. Go and do
your homework.

No worries kids. We're friends and
just making fun of each other.

Go inside.

So you're in love with my fiancé.

You've become a Romeo. Haven't you?

Don't look at them. There's nothing
to look at.

Don't look at them.

Come on. Stand on your feet.

Don't go to the class like this.
Mr Hekmati please...

At ease.

So we start the session.

Who's painted the blackboard in red??

I'll never talk to you again.

What's wrong?

God save us!

I wish I could do something
for Mr Hekmati.

- Like what?
- Anything...

Where are you?

You don't want to leave me, do you?

- Be calm.
- You wouldn’t go?

You know that I...

I have a life to take care of.

Only few minutes more.
I need to talk to someone.

- I want to talk.
- Well, go ahead then.

You know that there
was nothing in the beginning.

Yes. I know that.

When I told her I love you, it was just out
of curiosity to know her reaction.

I just wanted to see the reaction.

Was it painful?

Pain?

You said pain?

I don't know. Maybe it was.

Let me confess a strange thing.

Actually I enjoyed being beaten.

Because while being beaten up,
I was discovering something about myself.

A serious feeling.

You understand me, don't you?

I felt that I could not
live without her.

Where are you?

Good you are here.

- Didn't she accept it?
- She was not there.

You idiot. It's your fault.

What did you do that
she refused it?

She'd left earlier.

She never leaves the shop early.

See it by yourself.

You need any help?

If you're looking for Atefeh,
She's gone to cinema with her brother.

- Cinema?
- Yes. Do you know what it is, don't you?

The place where they screen films.

She was tired. She said they've screened a
new comedy, and she needs some laugh.

Yes. She wanted to laugh as
much as she can.

Yes. I got it.

You know which film, don't you?

I told you about it.

The same film, over and over.

The one about a mute old lady, and
a naughty boy.

So you don't want to talk either.

Don't then!

When this jacket that you're
knitting will be finished finally?

Hurry up. We need it in the shop.

You're driving mad with
your silence.

He beat Mr Hekmati
because of you.

I know that.

Don't become his wife.

But I need to marry on day.

- You want to leave us?
- That'll happen one day.

Then, you'll leave us. What would
happen to us?

No one asks what's going to
happen to me...

Hi Mr Hekmati. Is your
eye better?

- No!
- Don't worry. It'll be fine soon.

Their pity will kill me one day.

So this is the school hall,
in which the exams also take place.

As you see, the hall needs some
minor repairs.

The stage needs some equipment.

It doesn't have curtain.

But above all, before having our performance
here, we need to paint the place.

It also needs heating system.

It's cold here. Really cold.

And I think, I don't need to
mention the light.

Don't forget about the reverberation
of the sound here.

One, two,
three, four.

The reverberation is
really annoying.

However, the echo is very good
for the scene of the awakening of conscience.

But other scenes will be spoiled.

Watch me.

Thou, the devil of passion
and desire.

Go away and leave
my son alone.

Money is the root
of corruption.

Superficial loves are
the abyss of misery.

Oh God, save us from the
devil and its desires.

Gimme a cigarette please.

When did you become
a smoker Mr Hekmati?

Oh, look there. Mr Hekmati
is smoking.

Maybe it's because of the anxiety.

Did you like her performance?

I used to be a professional actress.

- What do you think about the renovation plan?
- I bet you weren't listening at all!

Nothing escapes your eyes.

We understand your sadness Mr Hekmati.

You need to see our performance for sure.

Have a good day!

And I've no interest in your hall
and your performance.

The problem has become so deep.

(a poster of an Iranian comedy film)

(inaudible)

- We'll move out from your house whenever you say.
- What made you say that?

I mean I appreciate your kindness.
You could've rented your house, but...

We've been there for
a year and half.

Don't embarrass me.

This is about a lifetime,
not only a day or two.

I should think of Mosayyeb and
my mother as well.

I'll take care of them too.

They'll be staying in the house,
and money won't be a problem.

What are the expenses of a little boy?
And your mother eats nothing...

So, what's your answer?

Please give me an answer,
and end the drama.

I don't want to force
you at all.

So, what's your answer?

Again, I don't want to force you.

So, say something about my proposal.

- What have these children done?
- Cheating.

Mr Hekmati you've lost
your nerve a bit.

You know...the reason is
your sadness.

You're lonely, aren’t you?

They've drove me mad.

I don't have a good
sleep anymore.

They're cheating,
they're clowning around.

They're ruining everything.

You've never tried to
know them.

You know...their behavior is natural.

They've no fun in life.
They live in banality.

When you get to know them more
you'll judge them better.

Follow this line.

Come...

- Have you ever seen this line?
- No

Weird. It wasn't here before.

- Do you want to follow it?
- Just out of curiosity

- I followed the line.
- Me too.

- I had no idea it'd reach you.
- Me too.

Who could draw it?

It'll be bad if someone
sees us here.

Yes! They let that man know.
But now, I will teach him a lesson.

You've not got to
know me yet!

I'm someone who pays his
debts off.

- What are you going to do?
- I'm strong enough. Strong!

Be careful...

Listen to me. You'll kill him.

- Mr Hekmati.
- Let me go.

Mr Rahim, now we'll be even.

Don't be upset Mr Hekmati.
This happens to many of us.

Does it burn?

Don't worry. There're so many
girls for you out there.

Your forehead is broken,
but you're still young.

Aren’t you Mr Hekmati?

So there's no reason
to be upset.

You scared me. I thought
you died.

- Thanks!
- Let me clean your dress.

Give me the brush boy.

So what's happened is happened.
Hey boy, sweep the floor.

You're so sensitive, aren’t you?

It's no good to be over sensitive.

It'll turn your hairs white soon.

Thanks.

Don't forget to pay
the boy a tip.

Hello.

- How are you?
- I'm good, sir.

I didn't know you're working.

- Doesn't make you tired.
- I'm used to it.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I need to sweep these.

- Hello.
- I was just there.

Have your heard the news?

Hekmati wants to renovate
the hall all by himself.

Is it possible?

We have no funding for it.

But he's not asking
for any money.

He wants to fix it
in his free time.

- You're still upset.
- I'm not.

Yes. You are, and that's because
of loneliness.

Recently, you come home very late Mr Hekmati.
You know what time it is?

Renovating the hall! You're just
fooling yourself with it.

He usually works at the hall
until the midnight.

- Good, very good.
- It's almost finished, sir.

- Good to hear that.
- He's dedicated himself to the hall.

Admiring!

From a psychoanalysis point of view...

There're so many girls
out there for you to marry.

You should hang out with people.
Be more social.

Why aren’t you visiting my house?
Have you met my family?

From a sociology point of view...

So you're invited for tonight.
Make sure you'll come.

Maybe you could help
my little daughter with her homework.

Make yourself at home.
Please come in Mr Hekmati.

We always talk good things
about you in this house.

Pary, hurry up and
bring us tea.

But be careful not to
burn yourself.

Or you sit here, and I'll
bring it myself.

Come along and sit here.

Oh! The young are getting intimate.
I have a record player for this scene.

Our Pary will finish her
study this year.

When a girl is done with her study,
it's no good to keep her with the parents anymore.

Would you like to play backgammon or 21?

Have some sweets.

Our Pary is not like those illiterate
girls you see in streets.

Show Mr Hekmati how
good you speak English.

Go on my daughter. Say something in English.

Come in everyone.
You sit here Pary.

Hekmati you go sit there.

No. Let the young ones sit
in front of each other.

Please make yourself
at home Mr Hekmati.

Mr Hekmati, I've heard you're
about to get a promotion

Didn't I tell you about it?

Due to your long work experience,
You'll get a promotion.

You'll progress quickly Mr Hekmati.

You'll get a promotion and
a raise every two years.

Do you like the food?

Pary cooked it. Enjoy!

You shouldn't spoil your
stomach with street food.

Now, you've an extra responsibility.
You should be careful with your health.

Men are all alike.

You wouldn’t believe it Pary, but...

In his first date with me, your
father lost appetite too.

Beautiful photos!

Look at me here.

I'm shaking hands with
the branch manager.

We better leave the young
ones alone.

They might have something
to tell each other.

Bring your butterfly collection
for Mr Hekmati.

Or your postcards collection.
See what he prefers.

I don't think you'd like the butterfly collection.
Should I turn on the TV?

They've a good programme tonight.

I've followed the story so far. Tonight we'll
know what'll happen to the two of them.

Last time it didn't end well.

Grandpa's death. The woman's divorce.
The fight among the brothers.

The whole week I was curious
to know what'll happen next.

It started with a car accident.
This changed the claims over the inheritance.

Mr Hekmati?

Don't cry my dear.
There're many like him.

Those who show up one day, and disappear
another day, without being understood by others.

Alack the dinner I cooked.
I hope it gives him stomachache.

I beg you, buy one from me...

Pardon me.

Did you see that?
He was begging.

It's a heavy rain.

Check who's outside.

Why is he standing
under the rain?

You'll catch a cold.
Come inside.

What a heavy rain.

You usually work till that late?

No. But it's New Year's Eve.
People need new dresses.

But it's very late.

You're right. It's really late.

- You're tired my dear.
- No. - Yes, you're.

Well. We're closing then.

I want to finish this dress too.

Tomorrow you'll do it.

But, but, I can still work...

Here's your jacket...
and your chador.

You're teacher. So I could
trust you. No?

It's too late, and she
shouldn't go alone.

- I'll take her.
- Thanks.

Don't keep him waiting.

Come with me Atefeh.

No need for that.
I've got an umbrella.

Wear it. You'' catch a cold.

I just saw a student of mine.
He didn't have a raincoat.

Tell me more.

I've so many things to tell you.

- We're here.
- I'll stay till you to get in.

- What are you staring at?
- You're totally wet.

You haven't seen yourself!

I love rain.
It washes me.

What are you doing?

Let it rains.
Let it rains.

Be careful. You're waking
the neighbors.

Live with me, Atefeh.

Would you live
with me Atefeh?

I wish I were a typist somewhere.

I wish I had no family.

Then I could somehow
get away from here.

What about you?

You must be dreaming of
getting away as well.

Getting away? Why?

I'm just getting to know here.

Do you like it here?

I don't know. But here made me do
things that I'd never done before.

Lately, I've found out that I
can make children happy.

I'm not a poet or actor, but still,
I can do something for them.

We're renovating the school hall.

I believe it to be very important.

At least makes me feel useful.

You're lucky, for you
don't lack anything.

I lack you, Atefeh.

Live with me.
Would you live with me?

- I'm indebted to him.
- To that bull? - Yes.

My god, how can I dissuade him?

It's my mother.

You're still awake?

This's Mr Hekmati.

Take a seat.

Don't judge me with your look. I
was working till now, wasn't I?

Mr Hekmati is a teacher.

I'm glad to meet you.

I said, I'm glad to meet you.

Didn't you hear me?

No use of that. You can't
get her any answer.

I don't have any heroic characteristic.
I haven't killed even an ant.

Nevertheless, I love your daughter.

Say it louder, louder.

She won't hear it though.

Well, this's my life.

She's knitting dresses,
I'm selling them.

But still, we can't
afford a life.

Mosayyeb can't understand it yet.

And she understands things, but
isn't able to speak them out.

In the last years, only
one person's been kind to us.

Mr Rahim?

You're quite smart Mr teacher!

Do you love him?

What nonsense.

Then what? Are you afraid of him?

Because he's give you a house?

What do you think?

That if you don't marry him,
he'll kick you out?

I wish he'd do that.

But he doesn't,
and this hurts me.

It leaves me in an
eternal debt to him.

- Well. What's my mark teacher?
- You're in a bad position you poor.

You think you'll make it up
to him this way.

But, don't you think you'll
suffer from it?

She's sleeping.

You should leave...Go.

- Think about it, Atefeh.
- Okay. I'll think.

Stop there.

How can I, when the
Earth is moving?

But you might catch a cold.

Who? Me?

That's impossible.
I'm burning right now.

Then you're drunk.

I'm invulnerable tonight.
She wants to think about.

She'll think about my proposal.
Why should I get a cold then?

Well. What would you say?

I can be free at last.

He loves me.

You wonder if I love him too?

Well, he's different.

He's educated.
He's motivated.

He's not a hero, but still,
he can save me from this neighborhood.

He has some foolishness
that I like.

But I shouldn’t abandon you.

He's very funny.

Tonight under the rain, he said
he feels invulnerable when he thinks of me.

He said he wouldn't catch a cold.

First a song, then a welcome speech.

- Then, a moral theater.
- "Namayesh" you mean?

Yes. That's the Farsi word for it.

Then, then story of the renovation,
and giving the sport prizes.

- Shouldn't be Mr Ghahremani giving prizes?
- No! It should be you the headmaster.

Oh my lady, you finally came.
Is this really you?

My lady, I've been waiting for years.

You've honored me.

I've been longing for this
moment for years.

I've been telling my assistant that
I used to have very noble customers.

But she didn't believe me.

And now, you've come finally,
but she's not here.

My God, isn't this very unfortunate?

How can I make her believe?

She should've witnessed this moment.
Isn't this very unfortunate?

In such a day, she's gone
to the school festival.

Welcome to Mr Rahim!
I've heard you bought another shop.

What else I could do?

Oh, my conscience is awakening.

Oh my conscience, I'll listen to you now.

But now that I have to embrace
the devil of death,

At least let me bid my
mother a farewell.

You the devil of desires,
leave my son alone.

Money is the root
of corruption.

Superficial loves are
the abyss of misery.

Oh God, keep us away from the
devil and its desires.

Please, please.

I donate this check
to the school charity,

I hope it'll be spent on getting
poor students cloths and books.

So my name will be
remembered with respect.

On behalf of the school,
I accept this generous donation.

I hope what you did will
inspire others here.

What's the hurry Mr Hekmati?

Others' popularity bothers you?

Don't be upset. Be patient.
Take a seat.

You should stay till the very end.

They're all here.

He wants to humiliate Mr Hekmati.

It's your turn.

The last part, handling the prizes.

- I suggest when you...
- Quiet please.

They'll call me now to
give the prizes.

As the last part, we should thank the person
who made this gathering possible in this hall.

This evening we danced, sang, performed,
and got to know each other better.

Tonight, we become closer to each other.

Now, we should ask who made
this possible?

Someone who with his physical and
spiritual strength...

made something all alone.

To his honor...

I didn't have any expectation.
I just wanted to do something.

I confess we can't appreciate him
the way he deserves it.

These little heros want to
have him handing over the prizes.

- You're not that happy, are you?

Now, he takes the credit for everything.

It's time to know his name.

He is...

Mr Hekmati.

Mr Hekmati, Mr Hekmati.

You don't mean this guy?

Mr Hekmati.

You really want to go there?

Why should I go?

Donate for the victims
of the recent earthquake.

Millions of Iranians came for help.

Bring all the money.

Try this on.

No. Not yet.

I know why you're distracted.

One can easily read
it on your face.

Haven't you heard
anything of him?

He's sent me a message,
saying he's waiting for my answer.

So why you don't
give him an answer?

Go...Go for a walk.

- Can I really go?
- Deliver this dress to Ms. Sadat on your way.

You're not afraid to be seen at
Mr Hekmati's house, are you?

No. Why should I be afraid?

Someone has to take the dress.

Come in my dear.

I really appreciate this.

Make yourself at home.
Would you wait for me to try it on?

Yes. I wait.

Time goes by fast.

It was last year I told myself
it's the time to have a bride.

My son was still here.

He was living here...upstairs.

Upstairs, where Mr Hekmati lives now.

Did you blush my dear?

No worries...He's not at home.

They've gone to deliver
the donations.

Don't be shy my dear.

When I was young, once I secretly entered
the room of a man that later became my husband.

It's not fair to share
my misery with him.

He's got a bright future.

One day he'll find himself trapped
with me, my brother, and mother.

He might hate me for that.

One day he might say I ruined
his future.

- You're not listening?
- There's come a letter from my son.

He won't come back.

He's ashamed of my life.

Get lost. I want to be alone tonight.

Only we two understand each other.

Don't we?

Cheers.

They don't understand that...

the man has to have a pain.

Otherwise, what's the difference
between him and a statue?

Do you love her?

I'm mad about her.

That's why I like you.

You understand my pain.
You know what I say.

To your health.

To her health.

What's wrong?

My mother doesn't feel good.
Would you go bring Atefeh?

- She's in the dressing shop.
- I can't do it. I need to play in a wedding.

What about her made
you love her?

Honestly, I don't know.

Please say something. I want to
know if you're like me.

But, what are you like?

I really don't know
what's wrong with me.

Exactly. This is the case with me too.

Her eyes have driven me crazy.

Yes. Her eyes...

When she gets angry...

Her laughs.

Her cries.

She's beautiful, isn't she?

Beautiful?...I don't know.

She's so many things.

Where's Atefeh?
Why are you crying?

She tortures me. How
can I prove?

No one believes it.

No one believes that
I have a very high-rank customer.

She shows up only when
there's no witness around.

You want to take
her away from here.

No...I'll stay here.

I like it here.

You'll return up there,
and will never look back down here.

No. I won't go back up there.

Before you, it was only me.

Now she doesn't accept
anything from me.

Strange...really strange.

Only her hands.

Her hands are still working.

- What'll happen doctor?
- It's hard to say.

She being alive is not natural at all.

There's nothing left of her...
except the hands.

There must be a reason
that she's still alive.

Maybe the reason is...you.

It was a nice evening.

I really enjoyed it.

Have a sip.

I'm really desperate.

I really feel sick.

Come one. Let's go.

Look at our reveler.
Hold yourself together.

Enough of that.

Let's go.

I'm miserable.

I am too.

- We're all alike.
- No.

This is...different.

I'll die without her.

I've come to learn that I
cannot live without her.

Well, I've also come to learn that I
cannot live without her.

Now we're even.

How will this situation end?

One of us should give up.

Let me make it clear:
I'm not a self-giving kind of person.

In every game, there's one losing.
One of us should lose.

One of us should die.

You're the cause of all this.

I'll kill you.

This is not fair...
You're throwing stones.

Stop there.

I'm really exhausted.

Listen to me...

I want to say your're so...

Mr Hekmati, you've got a letter.

- Maybe it's your transfer paper.
- I haven't asked to be transfered!

Maybe someone's made
a case against you.

Or the other way around, maybe
they want to transfer you as a promotion.

It's urgent.

Have you let her know?

I don't want to beg.

I want to tell you a secret. The other day
she'd gone to my room when I was out.

This shows she has some
feelings for me.

Why are you so nervous?

No no...I'm not nervous.

I've read an article recently.

It says, one shouldn't be
very demanding in love.

If you show some vanity,
she'll be the one coming to you.

Good you left something behind here.

Something that will last.

How long you think
this hall will survive?

No. It's useless.

I was expecting a wedding here.

I thought I'll hear a baby crying here.

Did you tell her?

What's wrong Mr Hekmati?
Oh, are you injured?

Mr Hekmati is leaving.

You're leaving us so early.

I'm going to miss you.

We'd just started to know each other.

What's wrong?

Are you being forced to leave?

Can't you do something about it?

Follow him. Why are
you hesitating?

You're right.

Go now.

Follow him. He's waiting for you.

Farewell Mr Hekmati.
