Fine, okay okay

Go please!

-Hi
-Hi

Mum

Mum

Mum!

Shut up! What the hell
is wrong?

Mum what are you doing? I almost
had a heart attack. What's that?

You'll have to wrap me in this
when I die



Is it too bad that I'm planning everything myself
before my death?

Stop talking about death
talk about good stuff

One prayer is enough

The Ghofeireh prayer shines
light to the grave

Nafele lowers the pressure

I've always asked to
say my name right

-Keep calling me Mohadeseh
-Why are you so early?

Babak picked me up

-Haven't I asked you not to wear my stuff?
-I'm not in the mood

-You stretch them out
-I like it

How cheeky! Don't you have
your own clothes?

What is it? Let's have a fight

What's happened?

He's leaving



So what? He's found a job
didn't you want that?

-I won't see him anymore
-He'll come back on breaks

-Let's go for lunch
-I'm not hungry

Come help take this
inside

Thanks

-No one will use it anymore
-No I have someone to give it to

Wait wait, take it sideways

I've got it

Lock the door

say you should sell avocado

Babak and I got one he paid 12,000

-Nothing

Pass me the dirty dishes
to wash

Hi Misha, where's your sister?

This slutty girl is here again. Mohadesseh
copies her

It's your dad's fault he
never says anything

-It doesn't matter to him who his kids' friends are
-Where have you been Niloo?

-How are you?
-I'm so annoyed

-Why? What's wrong?
-The man is flirting on the phone he thinks we're all stupid

-Fatemeh pretends she doesn't see it
-What's it to you?

-How dare he
-Does he still have a high blood pressure?

Yeah! And whatever I say he says
I've been to the doctor's yesterday

What's the point? He doesn't
watch his diet

-When you don't watch what you eat at this
age, what do you think will happen?

-Why do you let him go?
-It's not up to me

Whatever I say will upset him too

It's Misha's competition
in love

I swear Misha they won't stop
until they marry her off to Hamid

-I hope he's successful wherever he is
-Thank you sister

Come inside

-Come give these out
-Hello Ehteram

-Hi Fatemeh
-Hi darling, how are you?

-Good thanks and you?
-Great thanks

-Mohadese always bothers you
-No bother!

I'll take it myself

No you can't go like this

-No uncle there's no need
-No it's a long way

-Mohadeseh?
-Yes dad

-We're your elders
-I've got coach tickets for 7AM

Is your friend the one who works
in a flight agency?

-Uncle
-Yeah

Wait! Ask her to book a plane ticket for
Hamid for Khorram Abad

-There's no need
-It'll be too expensive

-It's okay
-I said there's no need

Don't say anything anymore

Niloo could you find plane tickets to
Khoram abad tomorrow early morning?

-Sure love, who do you want it for?
-Dad doesn't want Hamid to get the coach

-This is hot still
-Hand these out to the neighbours

-Take it to Mrs Kazempour too
-Mum please! It's at the end of the street

I won't get my wish unless I hand this out
two 7 neighbours on each side

-Sure
-It's sorted dad

-Right
-The flight is at 6 AM

But it's too late to book so he needs
to buy it there and then

-Thanks then there's no need
-Why not?

Get the coach all the way to Khorram abad?
What will your colleagues say?

They'll mock you

-Did you ask how much it is?
-I can't ask her now

-I need to pay for it
-He pays there and then

-Fine fine I got it

Kids are so moody these days

-Here
-No thanks uncle

-I'm okay thanks no need
-Why are you so shy?

It's okay

-Thanks
-Let us know if you need more and we'll send more

Dad it's for the neighbours!

Don't eat any more of it
it's not good for you

Where are you?
Are you here?

I'm coming wait
Will you give me one with oil on top?

Let me add some of this

-Thanks
-Wait!

Spoon

I'm not in the mood

Come inside

Good thing you came I'm
leaving tomorrow

-I hate it when you don't trust me
-It's good soup

-Who's made it?
-My mum

What happened?
What did you do?

-The Canada story is over
-No!

They've changed their
immigration laws entirely

But I know someone who charges
15 million per person

-When for?
-Two months from when we pay

What about Artin?

We need to find the
money first

I'll get my citizenship then
I'll come back to take him

Sure and your wife agrees

Look what I got you

What's this?

A pink top

Thanks!

-You shouldn't have
-No problem

Who is it?

Why is your phone on
silent anyway?

Babak I was home and you were about
to call, I couldn't

-It's not good for your age
-What have I done?

-Get out, I need to go back to work
-Why do you do this Babak?

-I need to go
-It's Nazi you can answer for yourself, why do you do this?

I don't want to it's quite
silly for my age to do this

I didn't do anything

I live with a wife who might
as well have a mental illness

I ditch her to come see you and lift
my mood. So you do this

-I'm sorry
-Don't

-I'm so sorry
-Stop

-2 or 4?
-2

2? 2?

-I need to go back
-Take care

Let me see you!

This is for Hamid leaving

That's different this is the
profit's birthday

Nights like this are rare

It's a blessing for us all to be
around one table

My dad used to say whatever you're doing
don't forget to come together for meals

-Hope Taha gets married too
-Thanks

-Hopefully Hamid's wedding too
-Hopefully

It's time now that he's got
a job too

I hope all of our kids are
happy

It was nice of Mehdi to get you
plane tickets

Pay him back as soon as
you're paid

I'll talk to uncle Mehdi
when I get back

Buy the same shampoo when this one
runs out or you'll get hair loss

Mum did you hear me?

-I said I'll talk to uncle
-If you carry on, I'll never forgive you

-You're wrong if you think I'll marry Nahid
-Who asked you to do that?

Marry whoever you want
just not her

-What's your problem with Nasibeh?
-I don't have any problem

You grew up together
how can you?

How is that relevant mum?

You can't make my decisions
for me anyway

Who makes your decisions then?
I do

I'll talk to uncle Mehdi when
I get back. That's it

We'll pack up and leave here
when you get back

I want to talk to you

I swear it'll go so fast
you won't even realise

Do you remember Afshin wanting to
serve the military, how upset I was?

Yeah

-What happened to him?
-He got married I think

Will you listen if I tell
you something?

Babak seems like a nice
person

He's 18 years older than you
and he has his own family

"He's older"

Age is a number, Babak is baby faced
he looks in his early thirties

He's getting a divorce too

You think mum and dad let you marry him
if they know he's already married?

Whatever! We're leaving
anyway

Love is a blessing, once it's in your life
you can't control it

Let me finish talking

Wait

-Please please!
-Don't

Okay, come inside
I said I'm sorry

I don't want to come inside

Don't go

It's over you

I think he's writing to you

-Where are you off to?
-Let's see what he's saying

Forogh is downstairs this is
all your fault in the first place

-He's leaving!
-Wait

Negar go outside

Go play outside
come on

-We're not in your way
-I've literally washed these

Keep an eye on the kid too

Why do you keep looking at it?
He'll call

-He's probably gotten busy
-He left in a mood

You should thank God for such
a nice boy. A true gentleman

Well mannered and genuine

We'll hopefully find him a very
good girl too

Why should he get married?

-He's still a kid
-He needs to get married eventually

Why should everyone be married?

Am I dead now that I don't
have a husband?

We'll have to marry them off.
Do you want to keep him forever?

Once he's 30, with a stranger

What is it?
What's wrong?

-What happened?
-My baby is in there

My baby is in there

Didn't I tell you not to
play here?

Did you see him fall in there?

Go up

Emergency services?
A four year-old kid has fallen into a well

Yeah

Damavand Street
before Emam Hossein roundabout

Binam Street

Stay quiet

I'm going, give me the torch

Don't do it dad

-Let go of the rope
-Careful not to fall

-Dad
-Calm down for a second

My nephew and my dad
are in there

Have you tied a tight knot?

Can I put you up?

Naemi come here there might
be a chance of gas poisoning

They've been in there a good
few hours

Careful

-Slowly slowly
-They're coming

Dad? Dad?

Get hold of him
slow

There's a chance of broken limbs

He'll sit down himself
Sit here love

-I need the information desk of Mehrabad Airport

The emergency services are rushing
to the area of incident

The number of those injured and dead
are different from different sources

The news itself has been confirmed

But the reason for the crash
of the plane hasn't been confirmed

Hi, how many flights were there
today to Khoram Abad?

delayed by an hour

Maybe it's only he's only got
broken limbs

It was dark, before prayer time

What happened?

Tragic

Did they find anything?

It had the ankle in it

He said it belongs to Hamid

Ask your mum to tell Forough

-What is it?
-Dad is back

-Right
-He says to prepare for the funeral

What is it? What's happened?

I'm talking to you

Tell me

No one has survived the crash

You found his body?

It's all my fault! Why did I insist that
he takes the plane?

Then what?

What are you saying?

I did whatever you asked

You ordered and I carried out
I won't let you this time

I won't let you arrange a funeral
before you find his body

Cousin! The plane...
was in pieces

Great Haji Mehdi!

You're saying he's dead
and gone?

He was your son!
He helped you

There was a single shoe

-They said it belongs to Hamid
-A single shoe?

You're saying my son is dead
because of a single shoe?

What are you thinking?

He didn't even get on
the plane

I know my own kid. He never made
it to the airport

You don't know what's happened
I shouldn't have told him

-I don't know why I did this
-Go down

We'll wait till tomorrow

Take this to Forough
and Negar

She's probably starving

Take it love

Babak why don't you
get me?

I'm saying trying to understand me
what should I do?

Everyone is confused no one knows
what's going on

Babak please!

If I could come why would
I not want to see you?

-My mum is home, I can't. I can't come
-Hi

-I've brought food
-Don't do this

Hi

None of this would have happened
if you'd listened to me

I'll never forgive you

Babak I have to get back quickly
my mum is home

Misha if mum comes home
cover for me. I'll be back quickly

I'm coming stay there

Am I a joke to you so you
mess me around?

You look awesome too

It is what it is, that's what happens when you
insist you don't get it Babak

No that's not what it is

You used to dress up for me
for hours

Now I'm boring you so you walk out
of the house in pyjamas

They'd be suspicious.
You don't know what's happening up there

You keep saying "come down
come down." I'm here, what is it?

Am I a charity case?

-Leave if you want
-I've gone through all the trouble now you say "leave"

You don't get it, Hamid is
lost

-We don't know if he got on the flight
-Never mind all this please

-You haven't called me once since yesterday
-I swear I ran out of credit

You could have asked me to
send you some

I get nervous when I don't know
where you are

I'm not well, I've been waiting around all day
for you to text me

-I'm sorry
-Forget it

-I'm sorry
-I'm not accepting it

-2 or 4?
-None

It's Maryam, wait! It's Maryam

Yes

I'll be there I said I'll be
there at 9

I will okay

Yes love

Oh yeah?

My baby

I'll buy you some, sure

I'm busy right now

Little thing is asking for
angry bird

I need to go they're waiting
for me

These are for you

You only call me with them

If you text anyone else with it
it'll be wrong

Babak I don't have anyone else other
than you to text

What's wrong with you?
What's the date?

-I'm going
-Take these

What are you doing?
Wait

Didn't I ask to tell me when
mum comes back? Fool!

Open the door

Open the door I said

-My finger mum!
-Don't make a scene I won't believe you

-Who was this man?
-You broke my nail

-Who was this? You ruined my reputation in public
-How have I?

-It's my life, it's no one else's business
-How is it not?

-Aren't you ashamed?
-Why should I be?

Lower your voice, you and
the way you dress

Don't start on how I dress, I want to dress
like this and I don't care what people think

Have some shame, I'm saying
all of this for you, you idiot

If he meant well he'd never met
up out on the street

-He'd marry you
-Whatever

-Your friends taught you all of this
-Oh! It's Niloofar? Nazi? Has Fatemeh made up stories again?

It's so embarrassing in a house where everyone
is mourning

-You're out on the street doing your own thing
-Mum I'll kill myself

I'm done with you! You'll have to
sort it out with your dad

I've raised two girls nothing happened
this one is different

Mum? Mum? Why do you
do this?

Why do you do this?

The guilty ones always show
themselves up

What do you mean?
What's it got to do with dad?

You've driven me crazy I swear I'll
leave this house

Calm down, you wait till your dad
gets back then you can go

Enough is enough

-Why do you argue with her?
-I didn't say anything

It's not right to pray
so fast

It's not the longest
prayer in the world

My knees are hurting

What's happening with
Forough?

She's locked her door and imprisoned
herself. We're lucky if she doesn't go mad

It's none of my business but neighbours
will make up stories

We should prepare for the funeral
as soon as possible

Your daughter is worse
than anyone else

You should be real proud
of yourself Haji Mehdi

She doesn't pray

The way she dresses

All the makeup she puts on. I don't
know where she's even come from

What can we do?
Fighting won't make it go away

You're pretending nothing
has happened?

-Nasibeh will turn out the same soon
-God

She's an adult I can't
exactly hit her

If you talk to kids, you can't
ever control them anymore

Keep defending her then!
You know what she's done?

I saw her get out of a
man's car

I knew she was up to
something

When I tell her, she gets worse
she says it's my life

I know what to do!
Cheeky

I swear I can't control her
anymore

The two of you can sort it
out between you

We lived near the countryside

It'd be filled with poppies in
the spring

I was around 8-9 when dad brought me
into town to work as a shoemaker

I never went back for springs

Because I was working hard
all year round

I just worked

I was content with the
fact that...

My kids will lead
happy lives

The things I did

You might not be able to be proud of
like other girls

But I worked hard in summer and
winter

Thinking I have a family together

I don't care what people say

I just want you to swear
to God

Whatever you do

Don't forget there's a God

He's watching over you

That's all

Come on get inside

Hi grandad

-Hi dad
-Hi dad

-Come here Taha
-Are you okay dad?

-Hi darling, oh hi Mojtaba!
-Why do you look so pale?

-I'm fine darling it's nothing
-You want me to take you to the doctor's

My pressure has dropped
a little

How are you?
The fruits look fresh

-Take some
-I thought I should talk to you about Hamid's funeral

We were just talking about it
before you got here

He says Forough is not
letting us go ahead

It's not right in front of the family.
You want me to talk to her?

I can't think of anything you do
whatever you think is right

Come here love.
Be careful with the well

-We never know what's going to happen next
-Mum?

God decided to take him away
the perfect way he was

We can't object to what
God decides

Let's go ahead with
the funeral

Careful love

Go on, are you okay?

-Hi
-Hope your prayers are accepted

-Hi auntie
-Hi darling

-You're praying with nail polish on?
-Leave her alone

-Go get the kettle from downstairs
-She's not well can't you see?

-I'll go mum
-Go on! Miss goody two shoes

I'm not a good for nothing
like you

Look a good for nothing is a
man who stays in his in-law's house

-Mohadeseh watch your mouth
-I am

Watch your language Mohadeseh

-We have a funeral
-Good for nothing are those who take out loans all the time

-It's haram you idiot!
-Are you a strong believer now?

-She's angry over something else
-Where from mum?

You saw me with my boyfriend? Good!
I had the right to. Dad didn't say anything

Such a bitch! That's what happens when
the man of the house is too soft

You're right! A good for nothing is who he stays
in mum's house for 6 months without a month's rent

-It's none of your business
-It totally is! It's our money too

Poor me! My kids are dishing out
my inheritance before I'm even gone

Go ahead, give her everything. You pretend you
don't know what your husband's doing

-Are you jealous?
-Yeah!

-You're jealous?
-Yeah!

-Hope you'll be happy like me
-You're happy?

I'll never want to be "happy"
like you

-Shut the door before you shout at least
-Enough is enough!

-Mohadeseh you're going too far!
-No let's see what she has to say

We're making things clear

-You're worried about the house?
-Yeah

-I'll leave the house tomorrow
-Go on then!

Mum it's your fault for picking
favourites

-She's pregnant Mohadeseh
-So what?

You'd never be this rude if I was around!

Ehteram Hamid called!

-Thank God!
-Where had he been all this time?

I couldn't hear him clearly. I'll tell
Ensieh the good news

-I knew it!
-I'll take your pomegranate paste, I'm making him Fesenjan

What does this mean?
He never got on the plane?

He'll come and tell us himself

Come here love for a
second

Come, sit her

Look when you were downstairs
did your landline ring?

-No
-Has anyone called the entire day?

-No
-Wasn't your mum on the phone to Hamid?

-Is there something wrong auntie?
-No love nothing has happened

Didn't your brother called to
talk to your mum today?

It's Forough!

How dare you!

Take it all away!
Go away

I didn't come here unplanned

-Who told you to bring this?
-Go inside

-Go inside
-I don't want someone to make decisions for me

-Take all of this away sir
-Fine pay me so I can go

-I don't know how much it is, Mojtaba does
-There he is

It's all Mojtaba's fault
He asked me to bring all this

They're leaving love

He's leaving
Leave sir

Get inside

Haji Mehdi what do you think
we should do now?

We'll wait a few more days

Dad I checked their phone there was no
call. Hamid's phone is still of too

-Maybe his number just wasn't there
-What do you mean?

He's in hiding just when
this plane has crashed?

We've known Hamid all our lives
when has he ever done this before?

God help her

You're in the right place God
so why do this?

First her husband Heydar who was fine
one minute, dropped dead the next

-Now this kids
-It's life

It has its ups and downs

You can't trust anything

It's a breeze for one

And for someone like Hamid
it turns into storm

Love each other whilst
you have time

Nothing is worth fighting for

Life is too unfaithful

Are you upset with me?

Parents will never be too upset
with their kids

Mum I'm not crazy to want
to wind you up

What should I do? I'm different
I'm not like Fatemeh

I just want what's best for
all of you

The moon is hiding
behind the clouds

There are so many secrets
in this world

What's your secret mum?

-Are you still in a mood?
-No what mood?

-Then what's your secret?
-It won't be a secret if I do

You remember she used to trick us
into telling our secrets?

I still say if you do, you'll
feel much lighter

You'll fly like these pigeons

Mum? Have you ever been
in love?

-You're so rude
-What's wrong with it?

Then why do you get tears in
your eyes when we talk about your cousin Masoud?

Because he was martyred

Your cousin Ahmad
was also martyred

But you only do that
with your other cousin

-Leave her alone
-What's it to you?

It's so cool that these birds find
their way home at night

Mum you can't take this off
anymore

What horrible days!
They're like a nightmare

They'll pass. We've seen
worse days

When the bomb was hit a metre
away from me, no one thought I'd survive

I was in a coma for
a year

Your dad was next to me everyday
for a year

It was God's help that
I came back

Now have faith in God

-You think Hamid will be back?
-I have hope love

My dad is home I can't talk

You don't get it

-What should I do?
-Mohadeseh it's starting to rain

It'll all get wet
Nasibeh get up

Let's pack these up

Take them quickly before
they get wet

-Dad get up
-Get up, you'll get wet

Dad

Dad

It's raining dad get up

Dad?

Get up dad!
Get up

Mum? Mum come here
Dad

Dad get up

-It's nothing, Mehdi?
-Dad get up

It's nothing serious
it's okay

It's okay

You were dreaming Mehdi
you were dreaming

It's okay

-Don't forget your appointment is at 6
-Sure sure

Good day Forough

Why did you go through
all the trouble?

-The kids would have done it
-Hamid called this morning

He'll be back in the next
few days

-Hopefully
-He's found a house

He's coming to take us

-Didn't he say why he hadn't called all this time?
-No

I wish you'd asked him to
call Haji Mehdi too

It's all Haji Mehdi's fault

My life wouldn't turn out like this
if it wasn't for Mehdi

Hi

Hope you never come back here!

Mohadeseh?

What is it love?

Keys? Isn't Nasibeh home?

She was always home at four

No Forough isn't in
either

She left Negar with me to see if she
can find out where Hamid is

No I'm busy here
I can't come

Here?

Okay

Okay come here and
get the keys off me

Mum?

-Hi
-Hi darling, how are you?

-Did you find Nasibeh?
-No she's not answering her phone either

-Come have a seat
-No I'll be off

-You want something to eat?
-No

How come you let me
come here?

I want to introduce you to
Mrs Kazemtouri

-Mrs Kazemtouri?
-Yes?

-This is my middle daughter, Mohadeseh
-Hi

-Hi love
-It's so nice to meet you

-Welcome
-Thanks

-Here love
-When will you be home?

-I'm busy for now
-It was nice meeting you

She's a student

-She's studying
-God bless her

-Look how she turns up to the mosque!
-She's Ehteram's daughter, she's a very good girl

-I'm sorry
-It's okay

-God bless her
-We've taught them everything

We're not here to judge

Babak

No I went to the mosque to
get the keys from mum

Leave me alone Babak
my head is pounding

Why have you come here Babak?
They'll see you

-Why don't you pick up?
-My dad was home last night and I was just at the mosque

I know you honey

You used to jump out of the loo
to answer my calls. What is it?

Tell me. You like someone else?
You don't want me anymore

-How could you say this?
-You've changed honey!

It's not about Hamid

Your phone had enough credit
why didn't you call?

You can't toss a pen out
after six months

What am I to you?

Answer me! Who am I to you?

Love is the biggest trouble
in the world

I love you and you
don't get it

I know Babak
I swear I do

But something is out
of place here

I keep tricking myself thinking you'll get
a divorce but you don't; go live your life

-I don't get how everything is ruined over night?
-It hasn't

It hasn't happened overnight. I've thought
about it every day

My brain is overloaded
I'm tired, I can't

Am I this bad?

Who said that?
You're not bad at all

You're very fun and
loving

But this relationship isn't right
it's not good

-Leave
-Why am I so bad?

Please don't leave me

Don't leave me on my own

Leave

Dad? Dad?

What's happened Dad?

Your nose is bleeding!
What is it?

-What happened?
Nothing

-My head was spinning
-Dad

Let's go to the hospital dad

Get up let's go to the hospital
you're not well

You're not well it's been a while
let's go to the hospital

-Please!
-Look

-Dad
-I can't breathe

Where have you been?

What's happened darling?

What's this?

What's this dad?

Hamid has written this
to Nasibeh

He says he's your son

It's right

When Ehteram

Was injured

Her body was full of
metal parts

They'd amputated her leg

Doctors had lost hope

She was in a coma

I was left alone with two kids

Fatemeh was eight

You were two

What should I have done?

Grandma

Forough came

She'd just lost her mother
she had no one left

She was a mother to you

A year went by

Ehteram gained her consciousness

Wanted a divorce

Time went by

A few months later

I found out Forough is pregnant
with Hamid

What should I have done?

Heydar was working in my
shop at the time

He was kind enough

To marry Forough

Does mum know?

Forgive me

Forgive me love

Forgive me

Hamid darling?
