Live at your own expense "
At the expense of the world "
Wage endless war against yourself "
"And to make the hallucinatory covenant of peace"
You're not listening to me
!I'm listening! -No
Yes, but I adore the reader
Keep going
"... you may destroy"
Hello, Mom
, Armandjon? How
about a lunch together?
Are you around?
Am I near your faculty?
Come and meet you
.no I can not
So let's have coffee
I'm drinking coffee with a friend
So green tea
No situation, I have a lesson
Don 't forget our dinner
.Don't forget. At 8 in the restaurant
?Going
?with a friend
Only he will not meet
your mother, God forbid
It's just a friend
Why are you hiding me?
I'm not hiding you
But it's not easy
If we get from the
UN... a positive answer
Tell your parents
we're traveling together
?of course. -but when
.soon. -Inshallah
On Thursday afternoon
we hand out clothes
For illegal immigrants
It is best to arrive as early as possible
Well, see you tomorrow
I will accompany you home
Not tonight. I'm going with Sina
Bring my brother from the airport
!Goodbye friend
.what? -Nothing
It's good to have a friend
I escaped from the Taliban camp
And I walked to the border
...pestle
We're ready to guide you
But the Immigration
Authority will not accept it
You must find something else
?but what
Say you'm gay
90 percent receive a positive answer
Say, are you completely crazy?
Until yesterday, I was afraid of the Taliban
And now, my mother, my brothers
And all the Afghan
people! Fuck me in the ass
?what is he saying
He says he was previously
only afraid of the Taliban
But now he's afraid...
that his mother, his brother
... and all the Afghans
Ali, listen
It's left between us
Nobody has access to this file
You do not have to
impersonate a gay man anywhere
Only before the Immigration Authority
It ?s not better to tell the truth
There are days when
the truth must hide its face
Do you think he's recognizing me?
, He left 10 months
ago. Not 10 years
But I've changed
.where is he? Everyone has already left
You do not recognize your brother?
- You have changed
?You think
Move
Daddy is late? -As usual
.Thanks
Drink something?
.Jin Piz, please
Sorry, Mitra
I was at the demonstration before the embassy
It is a great pity that the feminist movements
Did not express support
Darius, you and your friends
Did not support us? 'In 79'.
-In 79
Enough with the Iranian revolution
.You're right
Let's talk about Roxanne and you
Roxanne has all the virtues
Good family
... Fifth year in medical school
I know her from kindergarten
She's grown up ever since
Another dinner with her family
Until you decide to get
married, we'll all eat together
We wanted to go out and
celebrate your return home
But you'm probably tired
I'm going to make something at home
.Excellent
? What's his new
"look"? It's a joke
.Do not know
Beautiful, eh?
It's cost me a
fortune, but it's worth it
What, you paid for it?
.Obviously. It's made of silk. Handmade
It's unique
It's your friend?
.My friend? This is Hassan al-Banna
? Hassan al-Banna? -Who is
The founder of the
Muslim Brotherhood.
He's a hero
?what did I do
You were cold towards the
parents of your intended bride
Not cold, quiet
It seems easy to you to
become a law professor
Start a new life in a
foreign land, in exile
You think it's convenient for us, at our age
? Sleep on a sofa bed in the living room
Their ability to get a bigger apartment
If you did not insist on living in
the prestigious 16th arrondissement
Study at a prestigious
university and live in a slum
Do you think it's appropriate?
And a feminist who
arranges a match for her son
Do you think it's appropriate?
Be careful, son... you're
entering a minefield
Why? Feminists do
not like their children
They don? T care about their future
Be happy with Roxanne
We know where she's from.
And they know where you're from
Mahmoud!
Come here! You look crazy-
Salam Aleichem? What's up, darling
It's all right. Good
to see you, bro.
Are you okay, Fabrice?
We're done with
Fabrice. Now I'm Farid
You look completely different
I'm married now
?enough! Brooke! I know her
No, I married a cousin
from the homeland
That's why you've never seen her
Tell us about your trip
Let's go up for a cup of tea
Come to the mosque
Are we going there
now? Come with us
The brothers are waiting for
you. Come to the mosque, bro
Okay, I'm already
coming. see you there-
What a cannon,
Mishallah. Goodbye, bro-
Well?
!there is
My sister was accepted to
be an apprentice at the UN
!New York! New York
!madness
Have you seen? You have
an interview in 3 weeks
.No. 26 days
We need to book
... airline tickets and
Who are you talking to?
Are you completely crazy?
You're not going anywhere
Not to New York or to the Zionist United Nations
You've completely freaked
out. I'm going where I want
Give it back to me, Mahmoud!
I'm the determinant here
? What's your problem?
You're not proud of me
If our parents were here
Our parents believed
in the shit of France
? Freedom? Equal opportunities for all
Freedom to trade in drugs.
Brotherhood in unemployment benefits
You encouraged us to learn
.My mistake
Open the window? What do you see
Blacks, Arabs and foreigners
They want us to rot here
Just so we don 't pollute
their luxury neighborhoods
I'm not going to rot here
:Why? So that later they will say
Look how the little "?"
We are imprisoned here.
According to their rules
Mahmoud, relax.
Drink a glass of water
You'll be kidnapped from me soon
What happened to you
... we're your family?
Yes, Leila. we are a family
And the rest of the family is waiting for us
.what? -In the mosque
Did you go through brainwashing
with the Taliban in Afghanistan?
In Yemen
!Bummer
I'm a new person
Mahmoud, no! It's Mom's poster
I lived in sin
But the merciful
God .lighted my way
God has decided...
that our parents will die
So that we may
ascend .on the right way
!Stop
What happened to you?
Do you want to
delete your entire past?
There is no pride in
nude photos of the family
Where do you see naked?
You forgot you were
named after the poet
Mahmoud Darwish?
One more ransom!
heretic? One of
the great Arab poets
You're not a new person, Mahmoud
Deteriorated and stuck in the Middle Ages
...I do not believe
He's like he went
to work in a hotel
I'm revoking your
French citizenship
What are you doing,
retard? Give it back to me
Mahmoud, you're completely off track
It is possible to recover a passport
I will take care of you soon
I'm sending you to Yemen
There you will learn
how to be a true Muslim
The brothers will take care
of you, visa and plane ticket
Domestic violence, threats
You must contact the police
I did not mean you
We all know what it's
"Camp for Religious Studies in Yemen"
Anyone who returns
from there is a jihadist
You do not know what
he is capable of doing
But he's my brother
He needs help, not jail
He's helping you. He raised us.
... after the parents died
He left the carpentry shop
where he worked as an apprentice
And did all kinds of work
so we could stay together
And that they would not
send Sina. To a foster family
And you're ready to send
him to Guantanamo Bay
? Why not? He does not
like orange prisoner too much
Mahmoud is not stupid or evil
He needs help to break
free from this nightmare
Do you really
believe what you say?
.Yes
You need a new passport
for the United States
At the UN? Well done
Your parents would be proud of you. -Thanks
The passport will be
ready within 3 weeks
We will let you know as soon as it is ready
.Thanks. Goodbye
See you tomorrow. Let me get up.
No, no mode
.Peace
13th floor? Yes, thank you-
Wait, no, he's suffering
from claustrophobia.
?what are you doing here
.aerobic exercise
Go, that Mahmoud will not see you
!Stop
Come home!
Hello, can we talk?
It seems not
You will not leave the house
until you learn to behave modestly
And you will not meet any
man except your brothers
.And soon your future husband
?who do you think You Are
You can be extremely religious
But you're not scaring me
This is not Yemen!
Give me back my cell phone!
Do you know that a SIM
card contains pig gelatin
!enjoy your meal
.not to worry
We saw him. Open an eye
We'll be with the finger on the pulse
Everything's fine, bro.
Thank you, Fabrice.
Now my name is Farid
Thank you, Farid
Bring your little brother with you
Bring him with you to the mosque, okay?
Trust us
His friends say I'm
leaving in two weeks
I do not want to go to Yemen, Leila
I prefer to run away from home
Do not worry, I will not
give him? Yes, but how-
Mahmoud went completely crazy
I do not recognize him anymore
He never digested
the death of his parents
He found refuge in religion
I did not expect that to happen
I also believe in God
But not like that. I know.
.Now the jacket
You look like a real European
That's how they would let me enter England
Even the Queen will hold
a reception in your honor
? Arman? What do you think
.Not bad
?how do I look
I must be like him
What should it be?
You had to buy a passport
Of someone like you
This is my request
for political asylum
Are you ready to go over this, please?
Add what you want.
Have a good story
.no problem
Why are you upset?
I can not contact Leila
Her brother will imprison her
Is it permissible to do such a thing, in France?
Go to the police.
Leila does not agree.
.I do not know what to do
Say you'm gay, and
he's letting you meet her
"If Roxanne Is Not Right For You"
"So maybe Sadr's daughter"
"Who has already done a master's degree. Mother."
There are days when
the truth must hide its face
Are you completely crazy?
How do you think we
met with our friends?
In Afghanistan
Do not worry, I will guide you!
Hey, blonde
If you want to
die, travel to Syria
Excuse me, where's the new mosque?
I'm not from here.
No, ma 'am, you're wrong
You look like two drops of water
Damn, those gloves!
Yes, Nico?
No, I'm suffocating
If you don 't hear from me in an hour
Call the police
.Who is? -nobody
Salem Aleichem
.Alichum slam
Who are you looking for, my sister?
.Laila Sharifi
Do you know my sister?
The association sent me
... for private lessons
Do you have throat problems?
Dude, no man can hear that
The true voice of a Muslim woman
Apart from her brothers,
her father and husband
Therefore, in order
not to violate... this rule
I'm changing my voice
.Yes of course
Enter, please, my
sister. Thank you.
A lady is coming to visit you
It's not a lady.
It's a mourning tent
Anyway, your association sent it
You need to make tea for the guest
France welcoming
"? Lazarus" sent you
.Yes
?where are you from
Afghanistan
What is your name, my sister?
.⁇ שחרזדה⁇
Your tea is cooling
I'm fasting
I must not drink before sunset
But now not Ramadan
.of course not
But I made a vow
to fast once a month
In honor of the Prophet
Muhammad
Who sent you to me?
That must be a mistake
No, there is no mistake
Send me to you
What can my sister do
to help you, my sister?
I have to stand the test soon
I'm told you your sister is very good
.In French
I know a lot of people
who are good at French
I even know a Victor Hugo expert
You seem to have
more leisure than him
.Oh really? -Yes
And besides, you're a sister... my sister
While the brother is a brother
I mean, man
?Obviously
How many brothers
and sisters are you? Sina-
.What happened? it interests me
What test is this?
.Professional test
Certified beautician
?beautician
.And then the beauty queen of France
!Shut
My goal is...
Open the salon to beauty
.The first for religious Muslims
They are usually not well
received in beauty salons
While the wife's duty is
to beautify for her husband
Is it not contrary to religion? -No
This is a recommended way
to arouse love in the husband
Oriental literature. Plenty
of pleasures and sensuality
... A Thousand and One Nights ", for example"
I can not help you.
Look for someone else
? "What about" and love your neighbor as yourself
I'll choose Rei for myself
When you go to help
refugees, you do not choose
You help everyone
There are hopeless cases
These are exactly the people who need you
I'm deciding what to do in this house
Quiet there
Layla, help our
sister! No arguments
It's going to cost you
dearly! Don 't touch me
Quiet, it's me
Play it for a week
Prayers, head covering, all the mess
I'll come take you to the
mosque. Then we will run away
I can? T leave now. -Why
Mahmoud wants to
send Sina to Yemen
Can you imagine
this child in Yemen?
Like my mom...
at a disco in Ibiza
What does she look like to you?
She knows what she wants. -Pretty
She is deeply immersed in religion
She stopped the lesson to pray
?how does she look
I do not know. She
did not take off the veil
.Yes of course
She can also serve
as a Sina teacher
.Why? - She will give him a religious education
I will teach her French and
she will teach him religion
So that he will not
have to travel to Yemen
.too late
The brothers have already
made all the arrangements
.That send someone else in his place
After all, it is considered a
highly sought after destination
This girl is just smart,
she has charisma
She has what will attract the
attention of an adolescent boy
.Yes, I saw
There's something in it
.She is not like all the others
No, not at all. She's radiant.
It has an inner beauty
.Completely
. Sir, please
I'm already out
Do you know this is an offense?
Yes, sir. It's a costume
A masquerade ball
at my nephews' school
That your mosque will pay the report
"Mysticism and Poetry in Islam"
"The Koran for the Perfect Idiot"
Hello, bro. Come in, my sister.
Sit down, please
No, sorry. I have to teach Leila
You have time. Let's
have a cup of tea first
Do you have a straw?
? Burned
.nothing happened
Working the
patriarch with devotion
May he have the grace of Allah
Please, my sister in her room
Do you think we will succeed?
We have only two weeks
!just a minute
I recognized you
No, Mahmoud, I can explain
You're going to your room!
Allah has sent you to me
...You know
It's hard to find a good
wife in our perverted society
?Oh really
Fortunately, the good and merciful Allah
.Cold you on my way
... to avoid any temptation to sin
I decided to ask for your hand from your father
No, I really am not
the woman you deserve
...my sister
Your modesty...
adds respect to you
And confirms my choice
I'm not allowed to talk
to a man on this subject
Whenever a woman is alone
... with a foreign man, Ya Haram
... Satan stands up next to them
Dude, take yourself in hand
...enough
Deviation from the straight path
.It happens
But it must not happen again
"I'm the outcast wrapped in a scarf"
"Dreaming and singing in silence"
"Accompanied by a breather and the star in the sky"
"The Dark Night Song"
.Pretty
? Which surah in the Quran is a customer
No sora, it's poetry
Victor Hugo
The woman under
this cover is not for you
You are attracted to her
because you are sexually frustrated
But it will be fine
What are you raving about?
A Muslim man chooses his wife
Only in the light of the purity of her soul
So why did you get a
refusal? Purified of her soul
Tell me, Mrs. Freud
Here, you might be the boss
But at home, her father
is the one who decides
And her father promised
her to her cousin
Now I ate it!
Wait
I understood. Leila explained to me everything?
-What exactly
I'm going to
convince your father
...No
I'll drive you
home. I have a car.
Let me.... You will be arrested
.No way
My family will not like it
A foreign man drove me home
.Sorry
Hello? father
Are you okay, Arman?
Sorry, something's stuck in my throat
No one showed up for the demonstration
Your mother wants us to
meet before the embassy
What embassy?
.Zanzibar
Come on, it's clear that
before the Iranian embassy
I'm already coming
Mommy, Wonder Woman in black
Mild claustrophobia
For the last time, everyone disperse
You made up in black?
Your eyes, Armandjon
I'm straight from a dramatic circle
Come and dance with
me! Do not want to dance-
... if you don 't support her now
She's rocking you
for the next 30 years
How can you tolerate her?
... We used to live in a macho country
As a communist, I thought
That if I allow my
wife... to oppress me
I balance the injustice
But, as you can see
The Berlin Wall fell
... but my wife still controls
"Equality for women and men"
I'm really sorry, Dad
I suffocated, I could
not continue driving
As soon as I receive a
first salary, I will refund you
This is already the second report this week
Luckily there are only seven days a week
Remember the car is my only tool
But above all, I take
care of your health
Don 't worry, it's just stress
You're not driving anymore
!Yes! -No
!Quiet
Take pictures
We condemn a society
based on violence
Racism, sexual discrimination
Sexual harassment and hypocrisy
We demand a separation
between religion and state
.⁇ באיראן⁇
We hereby declare our commitment
To establish an international
society of women
For the sake of freedom
We fight to eliminate
all discrimination
.In relation to women
Cut. Well done, Mitra
? You started sewing all of a sudden
What's up with you, my
darling? I'm devastated.
? Because of this. Do
not accept it like this
It's just a campaign
against the Islamists
!Enough
I'm broken from all
this! I was born in France
Leave me alone
An uneducated child!
Leila Sharifi
I have to check your identity
Are you ready to remove it?
If we can not... see your face
I can not give her her passport
Leila, this is what's
happening to you
Your brother is
forcing you to wear it
This is a violation of the law
Remove it immediately
Get out of here, or I'll
call the security officers
It's already crossing every border
.I screwed up
Your parents'
girlfriend was there
She knows you. It would not work
So I have to go myself
?how
Why did Harzada
go away so quickly?
Did you say something that hurt her?
Answer me, if you did not
behave well towards her
It's going to cost you dearly
Open the door!
Can I have my passport, please?
.All is well? -Yes thank you
You change your mind quickly
It did not go. Together
with high heels
I have not been so happy for a
long time to see a girl in shorts
Layla, I'm counting to ten
...One two three
!Damn
Do you want a war? You will receive
Layla, this is your last chance
Open the fucking door!
Hello, bro?
.Hello sister
? Maybe it's not the right time
.no it's fine
I just wanted to tell you that
Your sister got on the right track
We talk a lot... about
religion. She is very
Very open... really
Yes, but be careful
She's cunning
She can work on you with her eyes
She's a smart girl.
Hence my love for her
That is, my appreciation for her
It seems to me that you need
to demonstrate towards her
.More tenderness and kindness
You do not know her.
She's stubborn like Fred
: Do not forget the words of the prophet
A person who lacks
compassion will not receive grace
That's right, my sister. You're right, but
... the Prophet also said
"... if one of you gets angry"
"... if he stands, let him sit down"
"And his anger subsided."
"His anger will subside."
Thus saith the prophet
... he says too
"... when the angry person says"
"I will find refuge in God."
In God I will find refuge
It should be said 3 times
In God I will find refuge
In God I will find refuge
In God I will find refuge
Do not forget our goal, bro
... lead the people to God
Gently and wisely
Yes, but... let's talk about ourselves
Sorry, I have to hang up
Regarding Sina... - from Salameh
?you're back? To talk about Sina
I forgot my bag
?What is
I noticed, but you were
already too far away
Alhamdo Night!
I want back. What
I gave you last week
It's for you. It's Mom's ring.
Yes, it was Mom's ring
.Now it's yours
Sorry, I can not accept her
?Why
Because I do not deserve her
There is no one in the world
who deserves more than you
Do not judge by the appearance of eyes, my brother
I did not fall in love with your
appearance, but in your words
Your words are simple,
clear. I understand everything
And you have such rich knowledge
.it's not difficult
The library is 400 meters away
I'll make you a list of books to read
But this is not a reason for a wedding
No one spoke to me
about God like you
It's hard for me to express
But I beg you to listen to me
No, listen to me
A day will come and you will meet the woman
That you can give back love
I can not give you anything
The relationship between us
will remain like brother and sister
.follow her
I want to know where she lives
Do you believe she
will agree to marry?
With a man threatening
his sister with ax blows
I beg your pardon
From now on I will be more gentle towards you
It's a layer. With all the
men in the neighborhood
She is wearing a hijab so
that they will not recognize her
Son of a bitch hates women
Do you think what I think?
?how not
The photographers of the regime
I'm sorry, Darius. It's because of me
Because of you? -Because of my boobs
...Darling
Your tits managed to shock
The Iranian regime
!my congratulations
Did she leave the building or not?
Do not move away. Wait there
Call me, anyway
Want a cup of tea?
Yes, Shukran.
- Mahmoud. Do not speak to me in Arabic
We both know: only
3 words in Arabic
.Dogs, Sheriff and Alcohol
This is the language of the Koran
?really
It is written in the Koran that
girls are allowed to be harassed
I want to marry her
I have no bad intentions
If you're a fundamentalist
You must accept
her father's decision
Otherwise, you can
not hold me here
!Then? -It is enough
I'm not a student at
a prestigious university
I love this girl
She did not come here by chance
That's how he wanted to be? -who will
.Allah
Do you really believe that?
You never doubt?
Only infidels doubt
.No, it proves intelligence
You know who? Never doubts
, Animals, idiots,
dictators and jihadists
You're not on this list
The main thing is to be yes
And I do
Please open the
door. I must go down
She's on the bus.
I can not follow her
The bus is full of
women. I must not, Haram
Fabrice? My name is Farid, okay-
So take a bike!
.Life is hard
I wish my sister would
be sitting here now
I'm Iranian. My
sister lives in Tehran
She loves to walk. When
her hair flutters in the wind
But she can not
Because the law of
Islam forbids it on her
... and here, women like you
That you would be happier
under an Islamist regime
Animals in France
masked? Strange, no
!she is right
Why are you hiding like this?
When your parents
came to work here hard
They wanted to give you a different future
We are not prostitutes
... because we are freely dressed
... deep in your heart
... if you think logically
Do you not agree with us?
So why not remove
this thing from you?
Yes, take it off!
Get rid of this rag!
Be brave, baby
Nico... - Where are you?
.Close. A bearded redhead follows me
Open the door for me in an emergency
!immediately
?What happened to you
Did you go hunting girls in the mosque?
I'm doing research
What are you researching?
... if you really must know
The study deals with methodology
Of the Biographical Approach to Sociology
On the figure of the human body
And on the secular aspect
In women covered with a veil
What is the name of the study?
Gender religiosity
""? Or political action
!It's wierd! -goodbye
"The Song of the Birds"
... "Inside the" Masnawi
Jalal a-Din Rumi
tells of three princes
Who set out to conquer the world
: Their father tells them
"... go wherever you go"
"Only not for one particular castle"
Clearly they are in a
hurry to the forbidden place
There they find the portrait
of the Princess of China
And they immediately fall in love with the portrait
Falling in love with a
portrait is a common theme
In Persian literature
As well as in Western literature
Hence all the beauty
That we see in this world
Is a reflection of
the great invisible
Which is revealed to our eyes
If we strive to make
a way to the truth
... therefore, at the end of their journey
"The Birds of" sang the birds
See their own reflection
The Creator of the Divine Kingdom
"... every man will go his own way"
And no bird. "" You will
not fly like any other bird
It's beautiful and in general, but
I'm not sure I understood
... or Allah is always right
Or he's always wrong
If everyone lives
... the way he wants
They will say of him that he is an infidel
Why see the world?
In black and white
The Qur'an does not impose on man
There is no obligation beyond
his ability? So everything is allowed-
, Is it allowed to be a Jew,
a Catholic? Gay or a nudist
exactly. There are no infidels on
the one hand and Muslims on the other
We all together constitute humanity
God created the world in His image
, Therefore he is in
everything. In every living thing
Not with Nono the genius. -who will
The "dealer" of the neighborhood
He will provide you with any material you want
... everything but Allah
Let's say God...
devoted less time to some
... but, overall
If he created a
world... so diverse
Of course he had reasons, no?
, So Muslim or not?
It's the same thing
It really seems to you
... that if there is a God
He sees his creatures
? With such a narrow look
.Do not know
.No
.take
"The Song of the Birds"
.Gift
We failed, somewhere,
in his education
No, he must have a good reason
? Maybe he's doing some work
So why did he hide
them under the bed?
Let's not lose hope!
That's what you said. When
Khomeini came to power
Well, really. Arman
is not Khomeini
!enough
The worst does not always happen
... Armandjun, darling
You know Dad and I love you
!In any situation
There will always be our son
...Obviously
Sometimes, there are things
.Which is very difficult for parents to hear
You can tell us everything! -Everything
What do you want me to tell you?
!Nothing
...for example
If you're an alcoholic
.No way
If one day, maybe
... will change and there will be no more
... if you move to the extreme right
Or if you sign up...
for the Communist Party
Since when is a communist?
It's a negative thing in this house
I hope my son will
make a better choice
I have shortcomings,
but not so much
...No
You stopped eating pork?
.I hate boiled cabbage
?what
.Nothing
You're both really weird lately
Hello, Ali
The bearded men are still clinging to me
You must help me get rid of them
They also live in towers, like us
.But theirs are more beautiful
They have flower pots on the balconies
Look at these bastards,
straight from the suburbs
Command unit of the neighborhood army
You're right, right?
Strange, they come straight to us
What do they want?
I'm a cousin of Shaharzada!
Very pleasant. Do not get smart-
I do not want to see you
anymore. In front of this building
Next time, I'm taking you down
You're wrong, bro!
I'm not your brother.
Cousin? Less than that, okay-
Choking him!
My brother, Allah did not create.
Only one woman in the world
Her father wants to
give it to her cousin
Besides, there is no
shortage of good Muslims here
.You're right
I was thinking of something, Mahmoud
Why don 't you take my sister?
Seriously, she's the right age
She's smart, she's a piece
And I'll be, Walla, what - it's happy
After Leila stops
playing the American
Give it to me
.Forget it. My sister is not for you
Why?
- What are you anyway? Chattering about my sister
She did not even repent
My sister did not repent
My sister is more Muslim than your sister, my brother
.tell him! - Calm down, Fabrice
Sorry, Farid
Mahmoud, Islam forbids worship
Do you know that, man?
Who is allowed to worship,
my brother! God Almighty-
?Truth. From whom it is permissible to fear
From God Almighty
We're all under the authority of who?
Almighty God
No, donkeys like you! No
Every man is under
the authority of Satan
Every man is under the
authority of Satan! Truth
Mahmoud, you forget
your commitments, man
Your mission
You were not sent to Yemen as a tourist
Sunbathe with all
your muscles and cubes
And read on the beach
... your "birds song"
Maybe Allah wants
to put me to the test
How many new brothers have
you recruited since you returned?
!Not even one
Why? Because you're just
thinking about this female
Wake up, Mahmoud!
Maybe she's the
devil's messenger, bro
Allah Yastor!
The messenger of
Satan knows religion well
Better than you and
me. She understands
She's studying. Unlike
your sister and cousin
This is the life you
want! It's not for me
Solidarity with our
brethren. "" In Syria and Iraq
Who gave it to you?
Mustafa
Why are you tearing it up?
Are you against jihad now?
I'm against theft.
Fire, killing and rape
Even if it's against the infidels
.Yes
They are also the creators of
God. He decides on their fate
We do not interfere
in the actions of Allah
If I'm going to kill all the infidels
I'll have to start.
However, I'm at home
Have fun. Do you see me?
In my life you scared me!
With all this madness of yours
If you're out of it, why
are you staying with them?
They are my brothers. We grew up together
We went through all the difficulties
together. Ever since we were children
We do not always
see... eye to eye, but
We have the same task
What task?
.To guide people
Gently and wisely
Are you going to guide people? -Yes
Gently and wisely? -Yes
Are you becoming the Dalai
Lama? Are you kidding me?
No, I just wanted to know!
Did you call the police?
It's a question of safety
The server and the neighbor
called the police, not us
Wonderful excuse!
This is an agent of the Iranian regime
Who was sent to eliminate us
Not every woman is veiled.
She's the regime's agent
Did you try for a moment
to put yourself in her place?
Put myself in her place!
Now you exaggerate
Maybe she has a lot of
reasons that disappear from us
She does not see the
contemptuous glances in her
She does not hear
the mocking remarks
This woman threatens secularism
...come on
When I was 8 you taught me
To love the French
resistance movement
And now you're
standing by the informants
Do you know what happened to you?
You forgot your history
.Peace. police
Mr. Shirdle. Yes,
come in, please.
We were informed of the
presence of a suspicious woman
In this building
Because you are political refugees
We must conduct an investigation
Have you seen a woman here. -No
I do not remember such a thing
I once saw
I was on the street, with a friend
Then she approached us
She pulled something
out of her chador suit
Threw it at us
"! And shouted:" Death to prostitutes
, I bent down but my
girlfriend got kidnapped
.Right in the face
Sulfuric acid .His face
has been damaged
It was in 1981 in Tehran
You see? I have not
forgotten my history
.Thank you
?Where you
I'm already starting to worry
I'd better be gone for a few days
Why my parting?
I can not sleep. I miss you
If you do not come
Who will bless the abundance
of hair that falls on my chest
Enough, stop it
Shahrazda
I'm asking permission.
Talk to you about love
... a fire is burning inside me
Only you can put out the fire
The situation is really unbearable
May God comfort you, my sister
Leave you from Allah
.I miss you too
But what about your brother?
He will not be home tomorrow
Shahrazada, I want to talk to you
I know you're here.
The brothers saw you
Do not enter, she is not veiled
!I do not want to talk with you
Let me in! You're too obsessed.
Open already!
I've already decided
You'll be my wife
.No. No way
My father had already promised me to my cousin
If I refuse, I'm going straight to hell
This is not the woman for you
The one who will keep you from
me is the one who will go to hell
I'm going to your
dad's right now
Dude!
!Fishing rod
Listen, dude
Do not go to my father.
He is a nervous man
He may get nervous
and lose control
...you are welcome
Stop! Please
My dad had a heart
attack a few days ago
He is humanly ill
If his daughter marries a good Muslim
He could die quietly
?Are you okay
.yes I'm fine
?are you mad? Jump into the road like that
Arman
Mom, it's me
I imagined you would be
a diplomat, a French consul
!minister
, After everything we went
through... all the sacrifices
Fate throws it at me.
Straight in the face
... Chador
... relax. This is our responsibility
I was not always the perfect mother
... but put the responsibility on me
For dressing my son!
Like a veiled woman, no
We allowed the
Islamists to enter Iran
I never wanted it! -So who, say
Who denied the danger?
The rule of clerics in Iran
?I'm you
Our friends, our
political movements
We ignored human rights violations
In the name of the revolution
... if we were to respond immediately
They would not have been
able to impose Sharia law
The Law of Islam in Iran! Never
We'll help you
We created this monster
through our mistakes
This time, your father's right
We will finally take revenge
on the bastard fundamentalists
.Please no
Darius, call your friends
We will not allow them to be imprisoned.
A student with a master's degree
I'm already coming
My father agrees to meet with you
So if you do not
think... just about sex
Come to this address.
Tomorrow at 2 p.m.
With your whole family
I'll be there tomorrow, Inshallah
God rewarded me for
my strength of endurance
?what did she say
I'm happy if you will be my witnesses
.Peace
? You started growing a beard
I fulfill my duty according to religion
"God has given you a face"
And you make for
yourself. "" Other faces
Enough with the Koran!
It's not from the Koran.
It's Shakespeare
You cover your whole body!
? What reasons?
A day will come and I will explain to you
But know that the
Qur'an commands modesty
All the covers and beards?
Do not attract attention
Take care of yourself, Sina
, Do not worry. I will
not be absent for long
If you need to get out
of here, call these people
They will be able to help and protect you
?Who are these
My friends, but it's
just an emergency
Mahmoud has changed a lot
He will not let them
send me to Yemen
.You're right
I'll be absent for a while...
and I wanted you to feel safe
Listen, Leila
I know everything
The truth? I would
not. Believe it on you
?what
.You know
You can do whatever
you want with Shaharzada
But stop working. On
Mahmoud, it's not fair
It's all his fault
Understand when you'm in love
.Enough
Layla?
Are you wearing a hijab now?
It's to be liked by
your bride's family
And you, you started shaving
To be liked by my future bride
!Come quickly
Come on, Sina. Waiting for us
What a fucking family!
Wait for us here. do not move
Slam Aleichem
Hence, my sister
Hence, my brothers
Come on in, please
Hence, my brother
Slam Aleichem
I'm the father of Shahrazda
These are my brothers
.My sons and nephews
?Then
Do you want to
marry my daughter?
.if you please
... but you'll have to sacrifice a lot
So that I can agree
to change my plans
Yes, sir, me
.IM ready
Do you know that we are Shiites?
?This means
You'll have to convert
? Convert your
religion. No way, bro
.It's crazy. No way
We are all Muslims
We do not force
anything on anyone
Do you want my daughter or not?
But there is no difference! -there is
Ali ben Avi Taleb.⁇
Quarreled with Omar
The Sunnis claim that
justice was with Omar
Shiites claim that Ali
Ben Avi Taleb was right
So, who do you think is right?
Omar, my brother
Even I know that
What were they arguing about?
That is how God will keep us
?you do not know
And you claim to be a Muslim?
Maybe I was wrong
Hard to know. We were not there
Come on, bro
.just a minute. I forgive me
Are you crazy, Mahmoud?
?Yes or No
.let's get out of here
.Yes
?Are you serious
You've completely freaked out, Mahmoud
Let's get out of here
It's impossible to do
business with infidels
: Come back after me
I declare that there
is no God but Allah
And Muhammad is his messenger
And Ali is next
.Three times
He went completely crazy
?What happened to you? do you smoke
We're leaving
.Why? -tell him
He went crazy and
converted to Shiite
To Shia, donkey
We can not leave
Mahmoud like that
Now treat yourself to cakes
.Arman? - No, his mother
Arman is waiting for you
at the airport. Come fast
.let's get out of here
It's not that rhyming
.who knows? They are all dressed the same
Bend down!
This is her chador. He's torn!
His cell phone is closed
?What to do
You'll follow them.
Farid, come with me
Fabrice, you stay with me
I'm going with him.
Because he calls me Farid
!Fishing rod
!Hello Madam. Ladies
!You are a beautiful girl
I'm sorry we're sales.
In such circumstances
Do not worry we did
not feel such excitement
Since the revolution
And this time, we will not regret it either
Inshallah!
... and now
We'll talk about the dowry
I want my daughter to get married
According to the tradition of the Prophet
May Allah bless Muhammad
And his tribesmen
Say it in your heart
One hundred camels!
You do not prefer a car?
There were no cars in
the time of the Prophet
Where can I find a
hundred camels in Paris?
Import them from Argentina
Do you want me to import a hundred camels?
If you don 't want to,
it's a waste of our time
No, no, I agree
You had a lot of demands from me
.My turn
I want to see you
: According to the poet
"Full of our wine"
"Because in the beginning love is so simple"
"... the difficulties will arise later"
Called Shaharzada!
Bring her here, fast
Who to bring? My grandmother
The place of the flower in the garden
Congratulations, Inshallah
This is Mahmoud's wedding
Congratulations, Inshallah
"You speak to me from the depths of the dream"
"Like a soul speaking to life"
"... like the foam by the sea"
".Your dress flies in the wind"
I learned it by heart for you
You'll say the second house
I do not remember anymore
This is not her!
Did you want to push me an old virgin?
Where?
I'll find you another who knows poetry
Mahmoud, they're on their way to the airport
Are you sending her to
a cousin in Afghanistan?
Shahrazada chose a different Islam
The Qur'an does not allow
forcing marriage on the daughter
The Koran does allow
you to imprison your sister
Or let you and your
friends? Threaten the world
Calm down, Mahmoud.
We'll explain everything to you
Quick, let's catch them
!forward
.Mitra? You are being followed
Mahmoud's bearded man.
On the way to the airport
?What's going on
Emergency .Return the rag
We'll suffocate again
.you're not. You get on the plane
.Nasim and I will take care of the bearded
We will split up to confuse them
.Arman? I'm here. But
they're after your mother
Take the boarding
pass. I'll take care of it
See you on the plane
Mom, what's up?
Could not be better
Things did not go according to plan
But I'm in control of the situation
.Where are you? -In the spa
?what
I had to stop the one
who was following me
He does not move, so I combine
the necessary with the pleasant
My darling, get on the
plane. Layla is waiting for you
I can no longer!
These human savages
!mother
Arman! what are you doing here
We have an operation for families
Another time, thanks
You must get on
your plane, darling
I invented Shahrazda
and I have to take care of it
I'll take care of my beard and get on the plane
.I love you mom
!No
Shahrazda, come with me!
.What do you do? Listen to me
We'm getting married. come with me
You must listen to me!
Mahmoud, stop it
!I'm here
Shahrazda, I came to pick you up
No, Mahmoud, it's not for you
She and Leila... both
Tell him the truth!
I always told you I'm
not what you expect
But you did not want to listen
You worshiped me and adored me
You made me the woman of your dreams
No one will love me like you
But I'm not the woman you think
!God forbid! Walla
My name is Arman
I study with Leila
And I love her
As much as you loved Shahrazda
I'll teach you to recite
poetry, son of a bitch
Mahmoud, leave him, I'm coming down
Leave my son... or
, That you will have other
broken organs... besides the heart
It's for all your stories
So who's right? Omar or Ali? who will
!are you
Sina, I never lied
I spent whole nights
studying religious books
In order not to tell you lies
We did not want to hurt you.
We just wanted to travel together

Hello, Mom
, Armandjon? How
about a lunch together?
Are you around?
Am I near your faculty?
Come and meet you
.no I can not
So let's have coffee
I'm drinking coffee with a friend
So green tea
No situation, I have a lesson
Don 't forget our dinner
.Don't forget. At 8 in the restaurant
?Going
?with a friend
Only he will not meet
your mother, God forbid
It's just a friend
Why are you hiding me?
I'm not hiding you
But it's not easy
If we get from the
UN... a positive answer
Tell your parents
we're traveling together
?of course. -but when
.soon. -Inshallah
On Thursday afternoon
we hand out clothes
For illegal immigrants
It is best to arrive as early as possible
Well, see you tomorrow
I will accompany you home
Not tonight. I'm going with Sina
Bring my brother from the airport
!Goodbye friend
.what? -Nothing
It's good to have a friend
I escaped from the Taliban camp
And I walked to the border
...pestle
We're ready to guide you
But the Immigration
Authority will not accept it
You must find something else
?but what
Say you'm gay
90 percent receive a positive answer
Say, are you completely crazy?
Until yesterday, I was afraid of the Taliban
And now, my mother, my brothers
And all the Afghan
people! Fuck me in the ass
?what is he saying
He says he was previously
only afraid of the Taliban
But now he's afraid...
that his mother, his brother
... and all the Afghans
Ali, listen
It's left between us
Nobody has access to this file
You do not have to
impersonate a gay man anywhere
Only before the Immigration Authority
It ?s not better to tell the truth
There are days when
the truth must hide its face
Do you think he's recognizing me?
, He left 10 months
ago. Not 10 years
But I've changed
.where is he? Everyone has already left
You do not recognize your brother?
- You have changed
?You think
Move
Daddy is late? -As usual
.Thanks
Drink something?
.Jin Piz, please
Sorry, Mitra
I was at the demonstration before the embassy
It is a great pity that the feminist movements
Did not express support
Darius, you and your friends
Did not support us? 'In 79'.
-In 79
Enough with the Iranian revolution
.You're right
Let's talk about Roxanne and you
Roxanne has all the virtues
Good family
... Fifth year in medical school
I know her from kindergarten
She's grown up ever since
Another dinner with her family
Until you decide to get
married, we'll all eat together
We wanted to go out and
celebrate your return home
But you'm probably tired
I'm going to make something at home
.Excellent
? What's his new
"look"? It's a joke
.Do not know
Beautiful, eh?
It's cost me a
fortune, but it's worth it
What, you paid for it?
.Obviously. It's made of silk. Handmade
It's unique
It's your friend?
.My friend? This is Hassan al-Banna
? Hassan al-Banna? -Who is
The founder of the
Muslim Brotherhood.
He's a hero
?what did I do
You were cold towards the
parents of your intended bride
Not cold, quiet
It seems easy to you to
become a law professor
Start a new life in a
foreign land, in exile
You think it's convenient for us, at our age
? Sleep on a sofa bed in the living room
Their ability to get a bigger apartment
If you did not insist on living in
the prestigious 16th arrondissement
Study at a prestigious
university and live in a slum
Do you think it's appropriate?
And a feminist who
arranges a match for her son
Do you think it's appropriate?
Be careful, son... you're
entering a minefield
Why? Feminists do
not like their children
They don? T care about their future
Be happy with Roxanne
We know where she's from.
And they know where you're from
Mahmoud!
Come here! You look crazy-
Salam Aleichem? What's up, darling
It's all right. Good
to see you, bro.
Are you okay, Fabrice?
We're done with
Fabrice. Now I'm Farid
You look completely different
I'm married now
?enough! Brooke! I know her
No, I married a cousin
from the homeland
That's why you've never seen her
Tell us about your trip
Let's go up for a cup of tea
Come to the mosque
Are we going there
now? Come with us
The brothers are waiting for
you. Come to the mosque, bro
Okay, I'm already
coming. see you there-
What a cannon,
Mishallah. Goodbye, bro-
Well?
!there is
My sister was accepted to
be an apprentice at the UN
!New York! New York
!madness
Have you seen? You have
an interview in 3 weeks
.No. 26 days
We need to book
... airline tickets and
Who are you talking to?
Are you completely crazy?
You're not going anywhere
Not to New York or to the Zionist United Nations
You've completely freaked
out. I'm going where I want
Give it back to me, Mahmoud!
I'm the determinant here
? What's your problem?
You're not proud of me
If our parents were here
Our parents believed
in the shit of France
? Freedom? Equal opportunities for all
Freedom to trade in drugs.
Brotherhood in unemployment benefits
You encouraged us to learn
.My mistake
Open the window? What do you see
Blacks, Arabs and foreigners
They want us to rot here
Just so we don 't pollute
their luxury neighborhoods
I'm not going to rot here
:Why? So that later they will say
Look how the little "?"
We are imprisoned here.
According to their rules
Mahmoud, relax.
Drink a glass of water
You'll be kidnapped from me soon
What happened to you
... we're your family?
Yes, Leila. we are a family
And the rest of the family is waiting for us
.what? -In the mosque
Did you go through brainwashing
with the Taliban in Afghanistan?
In Yemen
!Bummer
I'm a new person
Mahmoud, no! It's Mom's poster
I lived in sin
But the merciful
God .lighted my way
God has decided...
that our parents will die
So that we may
ascend .on the right way
!Stop
What happened to you?
Do you want to
delete your entire past?
There is no pride in
nude photos of the family
Where do you see naked?
You forgot you were
named after the poet
Mahmoud Darwish?
One more ransom!
heretic? One of
the great Arab poets
You're not a new person, Mahmoud
Deteriorated and stuck in the Middle Ages
...I do not believe
He's like he went
to work in a hotel
I'm revoking your
French citizenship
What are you doing,
retard? Give it back to me
Mahmoud, you're completely off track
It is possible to recover a passport
I will take care of you soon
I'm sending you to Yemen
There you will learn
how to be a true Muslim
The brothers will take care
of you, visa and plane ticket
Domestic violence, threats
You must contact the police
I did not mean you
We all know what it's
"Camp for Religious Studies in Yemen"
Anyone who returns
from there is a jihadist
You do not know what
he is capable of doing
But he's my brother
He needs help, not jail
He's helping you. He raised us.
... after the parents died
He left the carpentry shop
where he worked as an apprentice
And did all kinds of work
so we could stay together
And that they would not
send Sina. To a foster family
And you're ready to send
him to Guantanamo Bay
? Why not? He does not
like orange prisoner too much
Mahmoud is not stupid or evil
He needs help to break
free from this nightmare
Do you really
believe what you say?
.Yes
You need a new passport
for the United States
At the UN? Well done
Your parents would be proud of you. -Thanks
The passport will be
ready within 3 weeks
We will let you know as soon as it is ready
.Thanks. Goodbye
See you tomorrow. Let me get up.
No, no mode
.Peace
13th floor? Yes, thank you-
Wait, no, he's suffering
from claustrophobia.
?what are you doing here
.aerobic exercise
Go, that Mahmoud will not see you
!Stop
Come home!
Hello, can we talk?
It seems not
You will not leave the house
until you learn to behave modestly
And you will not meet any
man except your brothers
.And soon your future husband
?who do you think You Are
You can be extremely religious
But you're not scaring me
This is not Yemen!
Give me back my cell phone!
Do you know that a SIM
card contains pig gelatin
!enjoy your meal
.not to worry
We saw him. Open an eye
We'll be with the finger on the pulse
Everything's fine, bro.
Thank you, Fabrice.
Now my name is Farid
Thank you, Farid
Bring your little brother with you
Bring him with you to the mosque, okay?
Trust us
His friends say I'm
leaving in two weeks
I do not want to go to Yemen, Leila
I prefer to run away from home
Do not worry, I will not
give him? Yes, but how-
Mahmoud went completely crazy
I do not recognize him anymore
He never digested
the death of his parents
He found refuge in religion
I did not expect that to happen
I also believe in God
But not like that. I know.
.Now the jacket
You look like a real European
That's how they would let me enter England
Even the Queen will hold
a reception in your honor
? Arman? What do you think
.Not bad
?how do I look
I must be like him
What should it be?
You had to buy a passport
Of someone like you
This is my request
for political asylum
Are you ready to go over this, please?
Add what you want.
Have a good story
.no problem
Why are you upset?
I can not contact Leila
Her brother will imprison her
Is it permissible to do such a thing, in France?
Go to the police.
Leila does not agree.
.I do not know what to do
Say you'm gay, and
he's letting you meet her
"If Roxanne Is Not Right For You"
"So maybe Sadr's daughter"
"Who has already done a master's degree. Mother."
There are days when
the truth must hide its face
Are you completely crazy?
How do you think we
met with our friends?
In Afghanistan
Do not worry, I will guide you!
Hey, blonde
If you want to
die, travel to Syria
Excuse me, where's the new mosque?
I'm not from here.
No, ma 'am, you're wrong
You look like two drops of water
Damn, those gloves!
Yes, Nico?
No, I'm suffocating
If you don 't hear from me in an hour
Call the police
.Who is? -nobody
Salem Aleichem
.Alichum slam
Who are you looking for, my sister?
.Laila Sharifi
Do you know my sister?
The association sent me
... for private lessons
Do you have throat problems?
Dude, no man can hear that
The true voice of a Muslim woman
Apart from her brothers,
her father and husband
Therefore, in order
not to violate... this rule
I'm changing my voice
.Yes of course
Enter, please, my
sister. Thank you.
A lady is coming to visit you
It's not a lady.
It's a mourning tent
Anyway, your association sent it
You need to make tea for the guest
France welcoming
"? Lazarus" sent you
.Yes
?where are you from
Afghanistan
What is your name, my sister?
.⁇ שחרזדה⁇
Your tea is cooling
I'm fasting
I must not drink before sunset
But now not Ramadan
.of course not
But I made a vow
to fast once a month
In honor of the Prophet
Muhammad
Who sent you to me?
That must be a mistake
No, there is no mistake
Send me to you
What can my sister do
to help you, my sister?
I have to stand the test soon
I'm told you your sister is very good
.In French
I know a lot of people
who are good at French
I even know a Victor Hugo expert
You seem to have
more leisure than him
.Oh really? -Yes
And besides, you're a sister... my sister

.And then the beauty queen of France
!Shut
My goal is...
Open the salon to beauty
.The first for religious Muslims
They are usually not well
received in beauty salons
While the wife's duty is
to beautify for her husband
Is it not contrary to religion? -No
This is a recommended way
to arouse love in the husband

refugees, you do not choose
You help everyone
There are hopeless cases
These are exactly the people who need you
I'm deciding what to do in this house
Quiet there
Layla, help our
sister! No arguments
It's going to cost you
dearly! Don 't touch me
Quiet, it's me
Play it for a week
Prayers, head covering, all the mess
I'll come take you to the
mosque. Then we will run away
I can? T leave now. -Why
Mahmoud wants to
send Sina to Yemen
Can you imagine
this child in Yemen?
Like my mom...
at a disco in Ibiza
What does she look like to you?
She knows what she wants. -Pretty
She is deeply immersed in religion
She stopped the lesson to pray
?how does she look
I do not know. She
did not take off the veil
.Yes of course
She can also serve
as a Sina teacher
.Why? - She will give him a religious education
I will teach her French and
she will teach him religion
So that he will not
have to travel to Yemen
.too late
The brothers have already
made all the arrangements
.That send someone else in his place
After all, it is considered a
highly sought after destination
This girl is just smart,
she has charisma
She has what will attract the
attention of an adolescent boy
.Yes, I saw
There's something in it
.She is not like all the others
No, not at all. She's radiant.
It has an inner beauty
.Completely
. Sir, please
I'm already out
Do you know this is an offense?
Yes, sir. It's a costume
A masquerade ball
at my nephews' school
That your mosque will pay the report
"Mysticism and Poetry in Islam"
"The Koran for the Perfect Idiot"
Hello, bro. Come in, my sister.
Sit down, please
No, sorry. I have to teach Leila
You have time. Let's
have a cup of tea first
Do you have a straw?
? Burned
.nothing happened
Working the
patriarch with devotion
May he have the grace of Allah
Please, my sister in her room
Do you think we will succeed?
We have only two weeks
!just a minute
I recognized you
No, Mahmoud, I can explain
You're going to your room!
Allah has sent you to me
...You know
It's hard to find a good
wife in our perverted society
?Oh really
Fortunately, the good and merciful Allah
.Cold you on my way
... to avoid any temptation to sin
I decided to ask for your hand from your father
No, I really am not
the woman you deserve
...my sister
Your modesty...
adds respect to you
And confirms my choice
I'm not allowed to talk
to a man on this subject
Whenever a woman is alone
... with a foreign man, Ya Haram
... Satan stands up next to them
Dude, take yourself in hand
...enough
Deviation from the straight path

The woman under
this cover is not for you
You are attracted to her
because you are sexually frustrated
But it will be fine
What are you raving about?
A Muslim man chooses his wife
Only in the light of the purity of her soul
So why did you get a
refusal? Purified of her soul
Tell me, Mrs. Freud
Here, you might be the boss
But at home, her father
is the one who decides
And her father promised
her to her cousin
Now I ate it!
Wait
I understood. Leila explained to me everything?
-What exactly
I'm going to
convince your father
...No
I'll drive you
home. I have a car.
Let me.... You will be arrested
.No way
My family will not like it
A foreign man drove me home
.Sorry
Hello? father
Are you okay, Arman?
Sorry, something's stuck in my throat
No one showed up for the demonstration
Your mother wants us to
meet before the embassy
What embassy?

Come and dance with

She's rocking you
for the next 30 years
How can you tolerate her?
... We used to live in a macho country
As a communist, I thought
That if I allow my

I balance the injustice

I suffocated, I could

Luckily there are only seven days a week
Remember the car is my only tool
But above all, I take

Cut. Well done, Mitra
? You started sewing all of a sudden
What's up with you, my
darling? I'm devastated.
? Because of this. Do
not accept it like this
It's just a campaign
against the Islamists
!Enough
I'm broken from all
this! I was born in France
Leave me alone
An uneducated child!
Leila Sharifi
I have to check your identity
Are you ready to remove it?
If we can not... see your face
I can not give her her passport
Leila, this is what's
happening to you
Your brother is
forcing you to wear it
This is a violation of the law
Remove it immediately
Get out of here, or I'll
call the security officers
It's already crossing every border
.I screwed up
Your parents'
girlfriend was there
She knows you. It would not work
So I have to go myself
?how
Why did Harzada
go away so quickly?
Did you say something that hurt her?
Answer me, if you did not
behave well towards her
It's going to cost you dearly
Open the door!
Can I have my passport, please?
.All is well? -Yes thank you
You change your mind quickly
It did not go. Together
with high heels
I have not been so happy for a
long time to see a girl in shorts
Layla, I'm counting to ten
...One two three
!Damn
Do you want a war? You will receive
Layla, this is your last chance
Open the fucking door!
Hello, bro?
.Hello sister
? Maybe it's not the right time
.no it's fine
I just wanted to tell you that
Your sister got on the right track
We talk a lot... about
religion. She is very
Very open... really
Yes, but be careful
She's cunning
She can work on you with her eyes
She's a smart girl.
Hence my love for her
That is, my appreciation for her
It seems to me that you need
to demonstrate towards her
.More tenderness and kindness
You do not know her.
She's stubborn like Fred
: Do not forget the words of the prophet
A person who lacks
compassion will not receive grace
That's right, my sister. You're right, but
... the Prophet also said
"... if one of you gets angry"
"... if he stands, let him sit down"
"And his anger subsided."
"His anger will subside."
Thus saith the prophet
... he says too
"... when the angry person says"
"I will find refuge in God."
In God I will find refuge
It should be said 3 times
In God I will find refuge
In God I will find refuge
In God I will find refuge
Do not forget our goal, bro
... lead the people to God
Gently and wisely
Yes, but... let's talk about ourselves
Sorry, I have to hang up
Regarding Sina... - from Salameh
?you're back? To talk about Sina
I forgot my bag
?What is
I noticed, but you were
already too far away
Alhamdo Night!
I want back. What
I gave you last week
It's for you. It's Mom's ring.
Yes, it was Mom's ring
.Now it's yours
Sorry, I can not accept her
?Why
Because I do not deserve her
There is no one in the world
who deserves more than you
Do not judge by the appearance of eyes, my brother
I did not fall in love with your
appearance, but in your words
Your words are simple,
clear. I understand everything
And you have such rich knowledge
.it's not difficult
The library is 400 meters away
I'll make you a list of books to read
But this is not a reason for a wedding
No one spoke to me
about God like you
It's hard for me to express
But I beg you to listen to me
No, listen to me
A day will come and you will meet the woman
That you can give back love
I can not give you anything
The relationship between us
will remain like brother and sister
.follow her
I want to know where she lives
Do you believe she
will agree to marry?
With a man threatening
his sister with ax blows
I beg your pardon
From now on I will be more gentle towards you
It's a layer. With all the
men in the neighborhood
She is wearing a hijab so
that they will not recognize her
Son of a bitch hates women
Do you think what I think?
?how not
The photographers of the regime
I'm sorry, Darius. It's because of me
Because of you? -Because of my boobs
...Darling
Your tits managed to shock
The Iranian regime
!my congratulations
Did she leave the building or not?
Do not move away. Wait there
Call me, anyway
Want a cup of tea?
Yes, Shukran.
- Mahmoud. Do not speak to me in Arabic
We both know: only
3 words in Arabic
.Dogs, Sheriff and Alcohol
This is the language of the Koran
?really
It is written in the Koran that
girls are allowed to be harassed
I want to marry her
I have no bad intentions
If you're a fundamentalist
You must accept
her father's decision
Otherwise, you can
not hold me here
!Then? -It is enough
I'm not a student at
a prestigious university
I love this girl
She did not come here by chance
That's how he wanted to be? -who will
.Allah
Do you really believe that?
You never doubt?
Only infidels doubt
.No, it proves intelligence
You know who? Never doubts
, Animals, idiots,
dictators and jihadists
You're not on this list
The main thing is to be yes
And I do
Please open the
door. I must go down
She's on the bus.
I can not follow her
The bus is full of
women. I must not, Haram
Fabrice? My name is Farid, okay-
So take a bike!
.Life is hard
I wish my sister would
be sitting here now
I'm Iranian. My
sister lives in Tehran
She loves to walk. When
her hair flutters in the wind
But she can not
Because the law of
Islam forbids it on her
... and here, women like you
That you would be happier
under an Islamist regime
Animals in France
masked? Strange, no
!she is right
Why are you hiding like this?
When your parents
came to work here hard
They wanted to give you a different future
We are not prostitutes
... because we are freely dressed
... deep in your heart
... if you think logically
Do you not agree with us?
So why not remove
this thing from you?
Yes, take it off!
Get rid of this rag!
Be brave, baby
Nico... - Where are you?
.Close. A bearded redhead follows me
Open the door for me in an emergency
!immediately
?What happened to you
Did you go hunting girls in the mosque?
I'm doing research
What are you researching?
... if you really must know
The study deals with methodology
Of the Biographical Approach to Sociology
On the figure of the human body
And on the secular aspect
In women covered with a veil
What is the name of the study?

"The Song of the Birds"
... "Inside the" Masnawi
Jalal a-Din Rumi
tells of three princes
Who set out to conquer the world
: Their father tells them
"... go wherever you go"
"Only not for one particular castle"
Clearly they are in a
hurry to the forbidden place
There they find the portrait
of the Princess of China
And they immediately fall in love with the portrait
Falling in love with a
portrait is a common theme
In Persian literature
As well as in Western literature
Hence all the beauty
That we see in this world
Is a reflection of
the great invisible
Which is revealed to our eyes
If we strive to make
a way to the truth
... therefore, at the end of their journey
"The Birds of" sang the birds
See their own reflection
The Creator of the Divine Kingdom
"... every man will go his own way"
And no bird. "" You will
not fly like any other bird
It's beautiful and in general, but
I'm not sure I understood
... or Allah is always right
Or he's always wrong
If everyone lives
... the way he wants
They will say of him that he is an infidel
Why see the world?
In black and white
The Qur'an does not impose on man
There is no obligation beyond
his ability? So everything is allowed-
, Is it allowed to be a Jew,
a Catholic? Gay or a nudist
exactly. There are no infidels on
the one hand and Muslims on the other
We all together constitute humanity
God created the world in His image
, Therefore he is in
everything. In every living thing
Not with Nono the genius. -who will
The "dealer" of the neighborhood
He will provide you with any material you want
... everything but Allah
Let's say God...
devoted less time to some
... but, overall
If he created a
world... so diverse
Of course he had reasons, no?
, So Muslim or not?
It's the same thing
It really seems to you
... that if there is a God
He sees his creatures
? With such a narrow look
.Do not know
.No
.take
"The Song of the Birds"
.Gift
We failed, somewhere,
in his education
No, he must have a good reason
? Maybe he's doing some work
So why did he hide
them under the bed?
Let's not lose hope!
That's what you said. When
Khomeini came to power
Well, really. Arman
is not Khomeini
!enough
The worst does not always happen
... Armandjun, darling
You know Dad and I love you
!In any situation
There will always be our son
...Obviously
Sometimes, there are things
.Which is very difficult for parents to hear
You can tell us everything! -Everything
What do you want me to tell you?
!Nothing
...for example
If you're an alcoholic
.No way
If one day, maybe
... will change and there will be no more
... if you move to the extreme right
Or if you sign up...
for the Communist Party
Since when is a communist?
It's a negative thing in this house
I hope my son will
make a better choice
I have shortcomings,
but not so much
...No
You stopped eating pork?
.I hate boiled cabbage
?what
.Nothing
You're both really weird lately
Hello, Ali
The bearded men are still clinging to me
You must help me get rid of them
They also live in towers, like us
.But theirs are more beautiful
They have flower pots on the balconies
Look at these bastards,
straight from the suburbs
Command unit of the neighborhood army
You're right, right?
Strange, they come straight to us
What do they want?
I'm a cousin of Shaharzada!
Very pleasant. Do not get smart-
I do not want to see you
anymore. In front of this building
Next time, I'm taking you down
You're wrong, bro!
I'm not your brother.
Cousin? Less than that, okay-
Choking him!
My brother, Allah did not create.
Only one woman in the world
Her father wants to
give it to her cousin
Besides, there is no
shortage of good Muslims here
.You're right
I was thinking of something, Mahmoud
Why don 't you take my sister?
Seriously, she's the right age
She's smart, she's a piece
And I'll be, Walla, what - it's happy
After Leila stops
playing the American
Give it to me
.Forget it. My sister is not for you
Why?
- What are you anyway? Chattering about my sister
She did not even repent
My sister did not repent
My sister is more Muslim than your sister, my brother
.tell him! - Calm down, Fabrice
Sorry, Farid
Mahmoud, Islam forbids worship
Do you know that, man?
Who is allowed to worship,
my brother! God Almighty-
?Truth. From whom it is permissible to fear
From God Almighty
We're all under the authority of who?
Almighty God
No, donkeys like you! No
Every man is under
the authority of Satan
Every man is under the
authority of Satan! Truth
Mahmoud, you forget
your commitments, man
Your mission
You were not sent to Yemen as a tourist
Sunbathe with all
your muscles and cubes
And read on the beach
... your "birds song"
Maybe Allah wants
to put me to the test
How many new brothers have
you recruited since you returned?
!Not even one
Why? Because you're just
thinking about this female
Wake up, Mahmoud!
Maybe she's the
devil's messenger, bro
Allah Yastor!
The messenger of
Satan knows religion well
Better than you and
me. She understands
She's studying. Unlike
your sister and cousin
This is the life you
want! It's not for me
Solidarity with our
brethren. "" In Syria and Iraq
Who gave it to you?
Mustafa
Why are you tearing it up?
Are you against jihad now?
I'm against theft.
Fire, killing and rape
Even if it's against the infidels
.Yes
They are also the creators of
God. He decides on their fate
We do not interfere
in the actions of Allah
If I'm going to kill all the infidels
I'll have to start.
However, I'm at home
Have fun. Do you see me?
In my life you scared me!
With all this madness of yours
If you're out of it, why
are you staying with them?
They are my brothers. We grew up together
We went through all the difficulties
together. Ever since we were children
We do not always
see... eye to eye, but
We have the same task
What task?
.To guide people
Gently and wisely
Are you going to guide people? -Yes
Gently and wisely? -Yes
Are you becoming the Dalai
Lama? Are you kidding me?
No, I just wanted to know!
Did you call the police?
It's a question of safety
The server and the neighbor
called the police, not us
Wonderful excuse!
This is an agent of the Iranian regime
Who was sent to eliminate us
Not every woman is veiled.
She's the regime's agent
Did you try for a moment
to put yourself in her place?
Put myself in her place!
Now you exaggerate
Maybe she has a lot of
reasons that disappear from us
She does not see the
contemptuous glances in her
She does not hear
the mocking remarks
This woman threatens secularism
...come on
When I was 8 you taught me
To love the French
resistance movement
And now you're
standing by the informants
Do you know what happened to you?
You forgot your history
.Peace. police
Mr. Shirdle. Yes,
come in, please.
We were informed of the
presence of a suspicious woman
In this building
Because you are political refugees
We must conduct an investigation
Have you seen a woman here. -No
I do not remember such a thing
I once saw
I was on the street, with a friend
Then she approached us
She pulled something
out of her chador suit
Threw it at us
"! And shouted:" Death to prostitutes
, I bent down but my
girlfriend got kidnapped
.Right in the face
Sulfuric acid .His face
has been damaged
It was in 1981 in Tehran
You see? I have not
forgotten my history
.Thank you
?Where you
I'm already starting to worry
I'd better be gone for a few days
Why my parting?
I can not sleep. I miss you
If you do not come
Who will bless the abundance
of hair that falls on my chest
Enough, stop it
Shahrazda
I'm asking permission.
Talk to you about love
... a fire is burning inside me
Only you can put out the fire
The situation is really unbearable
May God comfort you, my sister
Leave you from Allah
.I miss you too
But what about your brother?
He will not be home tomorrow
Shahrazada, I want to talk to you
I know you're here.
The brothers saw you
Do not enter, she is not veiled
!I do not want to talk with you
Let me in! You're too obsessed.
Open already!
I've already decided
You'll be my wife
.No. No way
My father had already promised me to my cousin
If I refuse, I'm going straight to hell
This is not the woman for you
The one who will keep you from
me is the one who will go to hell
I'm going to your
dad's right now
Dude!
!Fishing rod
Listen, dude
Do not go to my father.
He is a nervous man
He may get nervous
and lose control
...you are welcome
Stop! Please
My dad had a heart
attack a few days ago
He is humanly ill
If his daughter marries a good Muslim
He could die quietly
?Are you okay
.yes I'm fine
?are you mad? Jump into the road like that

Mom, it's me
I imagined you would be
a diplomat, a French consul

through... all the sacrifices
Fate throws it at me.
Straight in the face
... Chador
... relax. This is our responsibility
I was not always the perfect mother
... but put the responsibility on me
For dressing my son!
Like a veiled woman, no
We allowed the
Islamists to enter Iran
I never wanted it! -So who, say
Who denied the danger?
The rule of clerics in Iran
?I'm you
Our friends, our
political movements
We ignored human rights violations
In the name of the revolution
... if we were to respond immediately
They would not have been
able to impose Sharia law
The Law of Islam in Iran! Never
We'll help you
We created this monster
through our mistakes
This time, your father's right
We will finally take revenge
on the bastard fundamentalists
.Please no
Darius, call your friends
We will not allow them to be imprisoned.
A student with a master's degree
I'm already coming

my strength of endurance

? You started growing a beard
I fulfill my duty according to religion
"God has given you a face"
And you make for
yourself. "" Other faces
Enough with the Koran!
It's not from the Koran.
It's Shakespeare
You cover your whole body!
? What reasons?
A day will come and I will explain to you
But know that the
Qur'an commands modesty
All the covers and beards?
Do not attract attention
Take care of yourself, Sina
, Do not worry. I will
not be absent for long
If you need to get out
of here, call these people
They will be able to help and protect you
?Who are these
My friends, but it's
just an emergency
Mahmoud has changed a lot
He will not let them
send me to Yemen
.You're right
I'll be absent for a while...
and I wanted you to feel safe
Listen, Leila
I know everything
The truth? I would
not. Believe it on you

.You know
You can do whatever
you want with Shaharzada
But stop working. On

?This means
You'll have to convert
? Convert your
religion. No way, bro

But there is no difference! -there is

justice was with Omar

Ben Avi Taleb was right
So, who do you think is right?
Omar, my brother
Even I know that
What were they arguing about?
That is how God will keep us
?you do not know
And you claim to be a Muslim?
Maybe I was wrong
Hard to know. We were not there
Come on, bro
.just a minute. I forgive me
Are you crazy, Mahmoud?
?Yes or No
.let's get out of here
.Yes
?Are you serious
You've completely freaked out, Mahmoud
Let's get out of here
It's impossible to do
business with infidels
: Come back after me
I declare that there
is no God but Allah
And Muhammad is his messenger
And Ali is next
.Three times
He went completely crazy
?What happened to you? do you smoke
We're leaving
.Why? -tell him
He went crazy and
converted to Shiite

Do not worry we did
not feel such excitement
Since the revolution
And this time, we will not regret it either
Inshallah!
... and now
We'll talk about the dowry
I want my daughter to get married
According to the tradition of the Prophet
May Allah bless Muhammad
And his tribesmen
Say it in your heart
One hundred camels!
You do not prefer a car?
There were no cars in
the time of the Prophet
Where can I find a
hundred camels in Paris?
Import them from Argentina
Do you want me to import a hundred camels?
If you don 't want to,
it's a waste of our time
No, no, I agree
You had a lot of demands from me
.My turn
I want to see you
: According to the poet
"Full of our wine"
"Because in the beginning love is so simple"
"... the difficulties will arise later"
Called Shaharzada!
Bring her here, fast
Who to bring? My grandmother

This is not her!
Did you want to push me an old virgin?
Where?
I'll find you another who knows poetry
Mahmoud, they're on their way to the airport
Are you sending her to
a cousin in Afghanistan?
Shahrazada chose a different Islam
The Qur'an does not allow
forcing marriage on the daughter
The Koran does allow
you to imprison your sister
Or let you and your
friends? Threaten the world
Calm down, Mahmoud.
We'll explain everything to you
Quick, let's catch them
!forward
.Mitra? You are being followed
Mahmoud's bearded man.
On the way to the airport
?What's going on
Emergency .Return the rag
We'll suffocate again
.you're not. You get on the plane
.Nasim and I will take care of the bearded
We will split up to confuse them
.Arman? I'm here. But
they're after your mother
Take the boarding
pass. I'll take care of it
See you on the plane
Mom, what's up?
Could not be better
Things did not go according to plan
But I'm in control of the situation
.Where are you? -In the spa
?what
I had to stop the one
who was following me
He does not move, so I combine
the necessary with the pleasant
My darling, get on the
plane. Layla is waiting for you
I can no longer!
These human savages
!mother
Arman! what are you doing here
We have an operation for families
Another time, thanks
You must get on
your plane, darling
I invented Shahrazda
and I have to take care of it
I'll take care of my beard and get on the plane
.I love you mom
!No
Shahrazda, come with me!
.What do you do? Listen to me
We'm getting married. come with me
You must listen to me!
Mahmoud, stop it
!I'm here
Shahrazda, I came to pick you up
No, Mahmoud, it's not for you
She and Leila... both
Tell him the truth!
I always told you I'm
not what you expect
But you did not want to listen
You worshiped me and adored me
You made me the woman of your dreams
No one will love me like you
But I'm not the woman you think
!God forbid! Walla
My name is Arman
I study with Leila
And I love her
As much as you loved Shahrazda
I'll teach you to recite
poetry, son of a bitch
Mahmoud, leave him, I'm coming down
Leave my son... or
, That you will have other
broken organs... besides the heart
It's for all your stories
So who's right? Omar or Ali? who will
!are you
Sina, I never lied
I spent whole nights
studying religious books
In order not to tell you lies
We did not want to hurt you.
We just wanted to travel together
