Why do you keep calling?
I'm busy
Okay, leave a message.
I have a meeting right now
- What are the results?
- I went over the employee files
80% are on contracts
We can't make them all redundant
If they complain we'll be in trouble
-Here
-How would we pay them?
We've so many cheques and money we owe
The export sector is a mess
there's a heap of stuff in storage
There's no other way than to shut it down
- Are these uncertified goods?
- Yes sir
Ask them to leave it in the bottom storage
Hi Bahram
Just wanted to say Arman is either not
picking up, or is out of reach. I'm annoyed
Excuse me! Have you seen
Arman?
He was around, he might have gone out
-He's not here
-You're still tense
I'm high love, what's up with you?
Army said, not the military I mean Arman
he said you're working on a paper?
Move! Don't stick to me
-Okay
-Do you get what I'm saying?
I said don't get close
Why did you leave me?
I'm talking to you
I went shopping
-Let's go
-Go?
-I can't stand this place one second longer
-Stop sending negative vibes
Here, this is your work meeting, right?
It's cold. Let's get inside
It is, you'll know later
Your phone is here. Your mum
called so many times
-Kiana wait
-I'll get back myself
This is your work?
- Is this place safe do you think?
- It's great
-Hi
-Hi
You didn't answer when I called
I was busy
Did you bring our IDs?
No I forgot
Do you have a sim card we don't
have the number to?
- What?
- A phone number we don't have
No, why do you ask?
The answer is one word;
"yes" or "no"
Is this the time for questions like that?
I said I don't, these are all I have
-I say it for the kid
-The kid
"Kids" his age are managing a family
Shirim, I'm tired of listening to you
He said he'd go to Damavand
with his university friends...
For a practical project. I asked him
to call or text once he's there
He did neither
I called him from the house phone
and mine. He didn't pick up
Hi sir, how are you?
I called this afternoon, you weren't in
I wanted to ask if you could stop sending
products. We're stopping our line
No, there's a problem
Yes, thanks.
Bye
You always have something to be sad about
You brought him up, now you handle it
I have a million things to take care of,
don't add to them
I just want a little peace in this house
which I don't have
Kid, kid
Damn this life
She ruined our night
Drop me off at the pay toll.
I'll get back myself
-I'll find a taxi somehow
-Why are we on our way back now?
-You said I don't care
-I didn't say you don't care
-I said he doesn't have any respect
-What do you expect from him?
- A high, drunken guy?
- That's even worse
To be around people like that
- You've taken something too, right?
- Nonsense
- What do you think of me?
- Weren't we supposed to be back by now?
- Why did you leave me alone?
- You never wanted to come
I hate these sort of groups especially
when it's called a "group"
-That's what I call it
-It's not just you
Group, gang
-I don't know where it ends
-I won't end where you're thinking of
-Actually it does
-You're crossing the line
-Shut up and don't say a single word
-Don't talk to me like that
-My dad doesn't treat me like that
-Bring your volume down
-Bring it down
-Pull over, I'll get off
-Shut up
-Pull over I said
-Sit the hell back down
-You think I'm like one of those girls who
Shut up!
- Where have you been?
- Hi
Hi
-Where were you I said
-I was busy
- What do you mean?
- We'll talk later mum
Why won't you answer your mum's calls?
I wanted to say Arman is back thank God
He just seemed angry he went in his room
You complain if he gets back
early or late. I'm busy
Why don't you get it?
Weren't you the one who said "your
kid is sick, you need help"?
He did
This letter will sort everything
out Doctor, right?
I wrote one for another factory that
enough!
Stopped functioning because
of the sanctions
It depends on the power of
the ministry letter they receive
If it doesn't work out I have to
send these workers away
-It's become a nightmare I swear
-Bahram I think production is over
I think you'd rather go into import
dealing and stuff
If you know someone in customs
-You'll make a fortune
-Being a dealer!
Buy cheap, sell for more
The fate of a production manager like
me is nothing but bankruptcy
-I'm afraid of having a stroke
-Forget it
Relax a little
Go on a trip
Trip? To where?
-You're too jolly Doctor
-A trip is just an excuse
It's who you go with that matters
Go with a friend who gives you some energy
Follow this healing remedy of mine,
you won't lose out
-I'm afraid you might send me to hell
-Nothing will happen
Go on a trip with some woman
That won't mind your family or
want to get married
- Is that a new thing?
- I've heard it from others myself
They say we give peace
and receive peace...
Which is usually a trip abroad
Yes love
Yes
No, you're never bothering me
-Our letter
-Good
- It works with this letter, right?
- Yes love
I completed the loan letter and wrote
the agreement too
I got the signature too, if you send the
letter to me now, I can send them all off
I try to get the to agree
Yes, don't worry about anything
-The meeting has started
-Yes
I'll be waiting, bye
-Doctor she has a question
-I've found these pills in my son's pocket
-It's L-Arginine Ma'am
-It's not dangerous?
-No it's fine
-What are they for Doctor?
-They're amino acids
-What use do they have?
It's for fitness and gym
It doesn't matter how much he takes
It's such a pretty place
- How did you know of this place?
- I had a work meeting here
-Work meeting
-Yes
It's a really nice place
-Happy birthday
-Thank you
I can't believe you remembered my birthday
No way
Thanks
What do you say to this?
- What's this?
- It's for you
It's beautiful Bahram
- Is it the right size?
- Yes
To be honest I didn't really like the
other ring I got you
-I got you this instead
-I'm so excited I don't know what to say
You don't need to do anything
Just make a wish and blow out the candles
-Happy birthday
-Thanks Bahram
Oh I forgot, here's your birthday present
-Open this one at home
-How many gifts?
- You love me?
- Yes
Shirin
He's so handsome
I went to buy him a sweatshirt. Good thing
I didn't, it'd be too small
Did he send you photos?
He didn't tell me
No I saw it on Instagram,
the ones he'd taken at the gym
Do you take your pills Shirin?
The antidepressants, make me drowsy the
diet pills are energetic. I'm going crazy
Forget that
-A few days ago was Mahshid's daughter's wedding
-Aunt Rana has lost so much weight with the pills
Are you even taking the pills?
How come you've not lost any weight?
Aren't you taking them?
Shima don't you ever go to sleep? It's not
good for your skin. Let me live my life
- We'll talk later, okay?
- Everytime
How are you tiger?
Have some celery juice
I'm here to see you...
To pay a visit
Thanks
You left without a word the other night
now you're upset too?
- Was it so important if I had stayed?
- It'd be someone else instead
When one person gets freaked out
sending negative vibes, it ruins the night
Why did you bring the girl there if
she didn't want to be there?
Look Amir, watch it
She's not just some girl
We're engaged, kind of
'Kind of'
Good one
The whole package
- What can I say?
- Does it concern you?
It's not any of my business. There's
no photo of you both on your Instagram
-Then you're engaged
-Yes, because she doesn't want to
Her parents have allowed us to
stay in a certain phase
So your father-in-law tells you what
phase to be in
I had to choose between selling the land
and taking Kiana back
When you were out of your mind
and chose the second one
If I were to go back, I'd still make
the same decision
-My life is miserable because of that night
-It was your fault
You left when Sepehr got there
I'd have made the deal if you'd stayed
longer
You'd have sold the storage by now
I'd have sold it
See? Friendships are between
men only
That's enough, our pizza is ready
- Should I go wash my hands?
- Yes
How's your headache?
Thank you! Your hands work magic
I forgot I had a headache
It's a new kind of massage, I learned it
from the Thai lady
It's great for muscles spasms in the neck
Introduce me to her, to see if
she's having fun here
Great! What else?
The incense stick smells great,
have you changed it?
Yeah I've only just got it
-Right our pizzas will be
ready in 20 minutes -Great
- Did you see my last post on Instagram?
- That was you?
-I didn't recognise you
-Seriously?
Did I look that bad? I was wearing
the sunglasses you got me in Paris
- How did you not recognise me?
- I was joking
-How could I not? That trip was great
-Yeah
I wish we could go again.
I need a trip
Sure we'll go sometime
Who was the kid next to you?
-Are you jealous?
I wish I could have our photo on Instagram
-Don't! You can't do
-I know
Shame I can't
That's Ms Fattahi's kid
Our accountant, Bahram you've no idea
how sweet she is
She sticks to me and asks when
I'll take her home
Enough, here
-I'll show you
-You will?
-Sure, we'll see
-I've written two books on backgammon
I know which you gifted to your teacher
We'll see
Go on
-One, throw
-You held it
No, throw again, you held it, impossible
Give it to me, you're making excuses
from the start
- How did you find out?- I saw it on his Instagram
Shirin he posted something full
of sad things
-I think they've broken up again Shirin
-I'll call you back Shima
-Hi
-Hi
Good day
I saw you throw it inside
Keep ordering pills from the TV
Weren't you supposed to stop
talking those pills?
Are they going to help you lose weight?
If it wasn't for those pills...
Do you want food?
I don't want dinner
-It's a surprise
-I heard your voice message
Why are you so mad?
Is there something wrong?
- Can I help you?
- You want to go inside the microwave?
- You're mocking me?
- No
- Can you do anything other than cooking?
- I'm worried about you
About what? Yours son goes
to sleep hungry?
No actually
For my son to not talk to me
about his problems
Your aunt said you'd posted something.
She was worried
-She asked if you have a problem
-It's a miracle
My aunt in America knows
what my problem is
But my mother next in the next
room doesn't
What difference does it make?
I'm worried about you
What should I do for you to stop worrying?
I'm human too
-I have the right to be worried
-No you don't
I'd been worried about your fights
with dad since childhood
To take your messages back and forth
did you see the worry in my eyes?
Did you listen to me for me to
do the same?
Weren't you supposed to stop the pills?
To lose weight?
To get a makeover?
Now don't play the role of a kind mother
Watch it
What's the nonsense?
I'm worried about you
but I don't offend you
You want me to call you dumb like your dad
for studying a degree for six years?
You mock my weight now?
I will for you to come to your senses
To realise what's happening to you
I'm the most hated in this house
More like a mental house
and someone to cook
I'll toss them in the bin
-Hi
-Hi
- What's happened now?
- Nothing
Nothing, thank God!
-Alright for you
-What should I do?
Should I throw him out of the house?
-No! Don't
-See?
When he was a kid you tried to
protect him from everything and everyone
I said nothing, then I tried to be friends
with him when he was ten. You didn't let me
"He has to sleep, he has homework,
he's got to go to sleep"
Where are you taking him?
I still didn't complain
He got into university, I said "let me
take him to work to become independent"
You stopped me.
"Where are you taking him?"
"It's a long way, he'll get tired,
he can't study"
Here, I couldn't have a word with
this kid...
Without you complaining
You want food? I can warm it up
It's chicken tahchin and cherries
It's 1 a.m. in the morning
Who'd have rice at this age?
Dinner is a small meal at 8 p.m.
-You're not home then
-You suggest I leave work...
To come home to you
Who goes home at 8?
Home
Yes
-Come here a second
-Yes
Here, your ID
Take whatever else you need from
the document wallet
Don't wake me up
For you with love
- What's this?
- It's a small gift, guess what it is
- Did I ask you for a perfume?
- It's not a perfume
It's a simple gold ring
Thought you might like it
Suppose a diamond, did I ask for this?
Did I ask for gold?
I want an apology that's all
You were upset with me and I tried
to make it up to you
Was I wrong?
I'll forgive you when it's not
about the gift
Say I did something wrong and I apologise
And I'll respectfully agree to forgive you
Because then I'll know you're sorry
and you won't do it again
I got angry the other night and
did something wrong
Some guy who was high said some nonsense
-Forget it
-Some guy who's high
Why should he say I've heard
you're working on a paper
-With his filthy work
-I told him you're working on a paper
Stupid idiot
He didn't get paper means dissertation
He thinks paper is a drug
Which means flying
More like crashing
I'm saying from his perspective
no need to pick on me
Look Arman If you decide to meet come here
Where did you leave the dye?
Why don't you toss these out?
They're all expired
I'm so busy today
Tomorrow Ms Ghassemi has a
gathering. I want to dye my hair
I can't reach the back come do it for me
-Okay, mum
-Thanks
I'll mix your dye
I need to get back home later
What's the rush? We'll have lunch
then you can go
Shirin, I need a word
-Yes dad
-Today is women's day
The TV said this morning
I want you to buy your mum
a very good gift
Sure
Mum? Do I come in?
- Why did you cut your hair?
- I trimmed it a little
- Is it the volleyball game?
- Yes love
Iran and Brazil
I wish we had some time to talk
Talk and see what's new
I would love to dad, but...
I'm a little late right now, maybe
some other time. Is that okay?
-No
-I need to go
Take care
Bye
I wish you'd stay for lunch
Arman doesn't have keys, he might
be locked out
You can't even lie
Bye love, take care
Say bye to mum
- Is Shirin gone?
- Yes she has
I asked her to wait till I was out
She's carrying a heavy load
She'll burst if she doesn't talk
-What did you say? I didn't hear
-Nothing
Go on
I got the genetic results back.
Guess
I'm busy call back later
What are you doing?
Why don't you pay attention?
-You ruined my car
-I'll pay the compensation
Are you down on Earth?
-I'm talking to you
-I'll pay the fine idiot
He's so cheeky
-I'll call my dad
-I don't care
What do you want?
-Hi
-Hi
Last week I paid Arman his pocket money
and a million extra
He sent me a message saying I want
2 million more. As if I'm an ATM
He's young. Wouldn't it be better if
you'd waited on the back street?
I'm wearing heels, I got tired
I thought you'd say they'll report
you or whatever
-That was before, they're okay now
-I could've waited outside the bank then
I did say they're okay but not like that
They're sensitive about single ladies
-The focus on them -It's your fault,
wear the ring. So I can pick you up
They know I'm single
It's not fixed with a ring just marriage
Bahram a marriage certificate will
shut them up
Our relationship is legal
I talked to you about this on the first day
I can't you know
Look, I got my results.
I can get pregnant
-My baby will be fine
-You're starting again
Who said you couldn't?
-Why do you get upset
-Suppose you love someone for themselves
Then you find out, he only wanted a kid
- How would you feel then?
- Looks like there's been a misunderstanding
I give you the right
If I thought the man of my life wants me
just for a baby, I'd feel bad too
But our case is different
I love you for you
I love you Bahram
Do you love me?
-Yes
-Let's get going then
No way
I'll fix it for you
Don't pay attention to it
-But the eyebrow shape I did for you
-Dark at the top, blonde near the ends
Don't get extensions, your hair
will become weak
I want it to be different
Yeah come here for your party on Thursday
I'll dye your hair ombre
Make it thinner if you can
-Hi
-Hi
-I had an appointment to dye my hair
-Yes
-Bahar she's here for he hair
-Wait there, I'll be with you
I'll call you, bye for now
-Thanks
-These are our colours
- I pick from here?
- Yes
I've never been to a salon or dyed
my hair since my wedding
I got some highlights close to my wedding
Look this blue one and the coffee
coloured one are the best
I got highlights close to my wedding
Then my husband said either your natural
colour or black
So I never went for it
Now I have too many white hairs
I used to cut the before but
now I can't be bothered
Which one have you chosen?
I don't know. What colour is in
fashion right now?
-People mostly have light colours
-It should suit you obviously
Can we go for a colour that makes
me seem younger?
- You're young!
- I have a 24 year-old son
Well then you got married young
Yes I was 20 when I had him
Women your age are either single or
have 20 year-old boyfriends
Then you think you're too old?
There's also this...
I think according to your skin colour
This colour is really good
- What's new? What happened?
- Nothing
-He wouldn't let go
-What about your car?
It's just the bumper. Thanks for sending
the money or I'd still be there
No problem, what decision did you
make? What do you want to do?
Can you buy some time for me?
Or a little discount, on the bond at least
This place is great, I don't want
us to lose it
I have to go otherwise I'd never
let anyone else have it
I have one way...
To find a good customer for the storage
place to sell it
My dad said if I do, I can have
half the share
I've collected all the cups
I've brought these out instead
We've stored everything away for no reason
Good idea
I remember you used to like these
thin ones
- Was that sarcasm?
- Sarcasm?
Why sarcasm?
I meant the cups
I got it
- What is it?
- I want to leave you
- Congrats!
- I'm joking
Look Bahram the stone has fallen off
I thought you give it to Mr Shaabani
to fix
Okay
Hot tea
Dad used to say better than hot is
when it's perfect. No one can complain
- Are you okay?
- Why do you ask?
Shut up, why are you being sarcastic?
- Why do you say that?
- "You like them thin"
"Perfect so you don't complain".
You think I don't get it?
- Are you in doubt of yourself?
- No I'm not
I doubt your words. You always
mean something else
Suppose it does, why do you take
it personal
-You're probably thinking of the wrong
thing -Fine, you're the perfect woman
I'm a mobile ATM
I asked for a place to sleep
a towel and a toothbrush
If you think it's too much I can
always move out
What are you saying Bahram?
If you don't want to come home at all
then don't. Why look for excuses?
Great!
- Are you leaving or coming back?
- Leaving
You're an early bird.
Why do you look like that?
- Why are you a mess?
- I didn't sleep well
I should tend the factory, insurance
company and so many other things
- What about you?
- I had something important to do
And what would that be?
See? You're telling me
What happened to your degree?
Or your military service?
Could you once, for once...
- Ask me how I am, after saying hi?
- You seem fine, thank god
Otherwise you'd be on the hospital bed
Don't think just because you run away
I don't know what you're doing
You chase up that degree
this is the last time I'm telling you
I don't want to work in that factory
even if I get my degree
No one's waiting for you there
Sell the storage, take half the share.
Let's see what you can do
What's happened to the car?
-It doesn't matter
-What's that mean?
Listen to your voicemail whenever
you get the time to.
I had an accident that's what the money
was for. You were busy as always
Cheeky
Get up, what's this?
I got your some celery smoothie
-Get up
-That was my phone you trampled on
Now you ask what it was?
- Am I guilty again?
- Am I?
For your husband who hates coming home?
What's my fault?
So you've let him go to be on my case
Fine I won't "be on your case"
How come when I cook, do the laundry or
tidy up your room it's my responsibility
Bringing you up is my responsibility
When I call, you're the poor guy
I'm the bully?
I'm not a kid, I'm an adult
Here, see. You called eight
times
Not once, that's what I mean
When you should spend time with your
husband, you call me
Watch your language!
If you turn 100 Arman,
if you have ten children of your own
You're the kid and I'm your mother
What are you saying?
What husband?
Your dad doesn't even see me
I dyed my hair after 20 years
He didn't notice. I wish he'd told me
I looked ugly
Not so indifferent Look at me
You didn't notice me like your dad
Hi, how are you?
Yes I'll set off now
What's the problem? When she showed
me a picture of you...
Said "mum you know there's never
been a man in my life"
This one is because he means well
and wants to become serious
You trust me and don't ask questions
I never did to be honest and trusted her
Yes I understand
Would it be possible for you to
introduce me to her father?
So I can explain my situation
So we can be engaged at least
Her father won't accept, I know him
-He only sees marriage as being official
-So many of mine and Kiana's friends
Are living together without being married
Everyone would love to live without rules
-But that's not possible
-Yes, you're right
But I'm not in the position
I need more time...
To sell the damn place and get some money
Please
Look I'm doing it there's no way back
Take a look at these you might
decide to get one
Your first decision is always the best.
Life means excitement
The more you think, the more
miserable you are
Life is excitement
Right bro?
-Definitely
-Don't move
-Don't move
-Seen you posted for free drugs
- You give out free drugs?
- No
Some want drugs, want drugs to feel
better and sell drugs
I'm at everyone's service, first one is
paid the other one free
When should we get together Sepehr?
-Do it with others
-I mean the land
The owner is here, Arman
I wish I could look at the paperwork
It's not on me
To be honest no one carries it around
He's a good landlord he knows the
papers should stay in the safe
Once we agree on the price, I'll bring
the paperwork
-Calm down
-Don't move
Cut all of it so I
don't have to cut it ever again
Don't get cheeky. I can't do that
you need to go to the barber's
Don't move
-Raana
-Yes love
You've not forgotten about
the loan letters?
Yes, today we were after the files
They said they'd help if they can
It's probably done, don't worry
-Bahram
-Yes love
You'll stay tonight, right?
No, I can't. But I'll leave late.
Is that good?
I wanted to say I was angry the other day
-I'm sorry
-Leave me alone
Go away
I'm not well
Arman I said I wasn't okay
Arman why can't we talk?
You're upset about something right now
It's got nothing to do with me
tell me what it is
I'm your mother Arman, who else would
you talk about it?
Don't break your mother's heart Arman
I'll be waiting to hear about it
What's this girl's story?
She has a suitor
Every girl has suitors
Her parents can't wait for me to
finish my degree or military service
Right, that's normal too.
What else?
They might say "yes" to him
Right
I don't want to lose her mum
What does she think?
Does she love you too?
Yes mum she does, I love her too
That's it, you don't know us women
We're willing to wait forever for
the one we love
You want me to talk to her?
They have a condition
Then I'll make some tea and for you
to tell me about it
Get up
The first few months weren't
too serious for me
I had a good feeling of having a friend
I didn't think of how long
we'd be together...
Or if it'll become serious
Then it wasn't too serious to begin with
-Then it became serious
-Not as serious as you'd think
-Yes, you haven't introduced
Kiana to the family -I don't mean that
I mean our relationship has some
limitations
That's more like a joke for couple
in the 21st century
The only serious thing is
how we feeling about one another
-It can be a positive point
-Yes
But the limitations are annoying
When did this aggression and anger
management issue start?
-It's always been like that, now a
little more -It's always been like that
My problem isn't him shouting right now
It's the apology I told you
about last session
-Arman doesn't know what apology means
-What is it?
Does it have a strange meaning?
It means saying sorry
I bought you a present with little money,
I had to say sorry
- Is that bad?
- Apology has a principle
People kill, they pay blood money
and it's sorted
-I have to say sorry somehow
-It's in your words
In your looks, in your heart
Not buying expensive gifts
with your dad's money
I was wrong
I was wrong to have gotten you a gift
That's what I meant
Looks like I owe you something too now
Kiana wait outside, I'll call you
if necessary
Have a glass of water
What other factors do you think there are?
Other than the things you already said
- What else makes you so angry?
- I don't know
I'm always like this
Have your parents dealt with your
anger issues?
-We don't talk much
-You don't talk to them much
-No one does
-Why not?
We might get together once or
twice a year, an eid
Wedding or funeral in the family
Hi mum, how are you?
I'm fine, no Arman is inside
I don't know as much as we need
-It's an emotional breakup
-It's become epidemic
It's a good name, never heard of it before
That's exactly what they're like
Yes love
- Do you know what I thinking of in the shower?
- Of what?
Paris, where the lady asked for
the address and I said...
- What did she say?
- The old lady?
When you can say "I don't know" so well,
just learn the language
She was right
Raana see who it is
-Factory
-Is it?
-Don't answer Bahram
-Why?
-We want to have dinner
-Give it to me
-I won't
-Let me see what it is
Yes
What?
Say it louder
It's broken?
Can it be... The fuse?
Why should we shut down?
Call Mr Amani to come
Yes call him, I'll be there
Why do you say you'll go?
We're about to have dinner
-One of our machines are
broken, Chinese parts -I made food
Okay but I got to go otherwise
it'll be shut down
Then I'll wait till you get back
I won't eat
We'll see how much it costs
Great food
It's so good
Don't fall out with me, leave it in
the fridge I'll come eat it
You never said why you want the storage
Grow beetroots
I think you're better off growing cactus
because of the water issue
It's a type of flower
-Great place
-That's it
Right, where do we start?
What a great place, perfect!
-Let's see the rest
-Let's go
-Okay mum
-Don't listen to your dad
I'll make the food, you leave some
salt for him
Okay love
The phone is ringing mum, I'll call you
Okay bye
Hi mum
I'm going to dad's factory,
I might not have signal on the road
I may be out of reach if you call
but don't get worried
Our chat made me see a therapist
with Kiana
I'm feeling much better, I got
you an appointment, they'll call you
Talk to dad to go with you.
Take care
Much better speed Shirin
- What else can I do?
- How much weight have you lost?
-3 kilos
-Well done, good work
- Really?
- Yes!
-You can't tell though
-You can
How long hasn't it been rewound yet
Over ten years now
It must have been damaged by now
I won't promise, but I'll try
my best to do it
Won't you go to sleep?
No, I'm busy
Will you be long?
Yes I will
There were three things
Has your car broken down?
You need money?
-No
-If the issue is Arman
If I am to fight with him, you shouldn't
be there to take his side
-No it's not them
-Go on then! I hate 20 questions
-I was telling you, you stopped-
-It's always the same things
I said it before you so you
can get on with your life
I wanted to say I have an appointment for
surgery this week
- Surgery? What for?
- No don't worry
It's beauty
I want to lose all the weight altogether
I've heard they pull the muscles too
What's the pressure?
Have you thought about it?
Surgery is risky
You go under anesthesia
- Isn't it good to be pretty?
- At this age?
I don't know, if it's for me
I've no expectations of you
If it's for your health, go ahead
-I've already got the appointment
-Okay
Why do you sulk?
How much money do you need?
What was the second one?
Arman has booked us in to see a therapist
-Yes
-Has got us an appointment?
-Yeah
-Interesting, right
Go on then! What are you
waiting for?
-You cut me when I try to-
-Me what? Me me me
The lankie has booked us in to
see a therapist
He needs to be seen himself
and you accepted?
What's the third one?
Nothing
-Here you go sir
-Mr Samee first
Sorry I didn't recognise you
He's so grown!
-Sorry again
-Thanks
Thanks
-I don't want any, take it
-Sure
I keep referring to you as 'Mr'
so you keep ignoring it
What happened to your degree?
Once they sell military services, I'll
hand in my dissertation and get my degree
What if I don't want to pay for it?
Your mother never let me
make a man out of you
- Why would I take the opportunity away?
- I won't trouble you until then
-I'll buy it -If I don't die until then,
for you to inherit money. What then?
Dad I'm not in the mood to argue
Yes there's no need
You think arguing with a sick man
is pointless
- When did I ever dare say that?
- What's with the Doctor's appointment then?
For your mother and I
Better be your last time to meddle
with our relationship
Did I ever ask where you go?
Why you go? When you get back?
-I wish you had
-Stop it
You teenagers think as long as you're being
paid, it means you're being supported
-I'm doing the same
-What job should I have?
Is there any around for me?
This place is a mess
Dad you promised me to come
whenever I have a buyer
Now I've got one. I want to sell it so
I can start a job with the money
The paperwork is in your name watch out
-Don't waste the money, this is
your last chance -You're so negative
It's my friend's store, he's moving abroad.
He suggested I rent the place
A perfume shop in the best place,
I'll make you proud
-I promise I'll prove your son is a man -I had
other dreams for you, look where you are now
"Perfume Shop"
-Mr Moradi
-Yes sir
You'll go to the registry office
with Mr Samee
-He'll sign for the paperwork
and you hand it over -Yes
-Thanks dad, bye
-Bye
Next person
Look at the camera
- Hi, how are you?
- Good thanks
- Where's Mr Sepehr?
- He'll see you
If you agree with the amount of rent, good
Don't think too much
You won't find another customer
I'll give you a lump sum,
you can sort out your problem
- Have you got the documents?
- Yes they're on me
Let's see
I'll pass it on to my lawyer...
To write the contract and I'll
send it to you
500 million tomans
Have fun
You have a degree in literature, right?
I could have but once Arman was
born, I left university
- Why?
- I wanted to point to Rostam and Sohrab but we'll leave it till later
Why did you leave uni when Sohrab
I mean Arman was born?
That's a long story
I got pregnant on my last term
Then when you become a mother you
should forget your own preferences
It all becomes the bringing up, cleaning
cooking
Then you become the expert in Qorma
or Gheimeh Bademjan
-My entire life became my son
-And your son's father, of course
When you become a mother,
everything changes
Especially the pregnancy I had...
The scent of my husband's presence
made me sick
Everytime I saw him, I'd be sick
After my delivery, my life was Arman
Your Arman, got help before things
got too serious
Good to know the parent's cooperation
during therapy is really important Mrs Samee
You know Arman is living with a
brother and sister
Instead of his parents
I'm talking about the affection
in the relationship
You think this lack of feelings
is normal for your son?
Doesn't your husband object?
I thought he's a bit agitated at first
He was angry
-But he never said anything himself
-What about you?
You never talked about it?
-No
-Why not?
I'm too embarrassed, we've been brought
up like this
That's not right, as you can see
In our country couples accept all
sorts of right for one another
Other than the legal right to love
Do you know the result of these excuses?
In our country, most women experience
early menopause at the age of 40
They're mostly depressed or feel old
They experience pains and aches
- You think it's their own fault?
- They're not innocent
What kind of a role model as a woman
Who can't talk of the most
important and feminine can she be?
The first love of any boy's life
is his mother
It might have been in the past
but not anymore
When he was a kid he loved me a lot
We were always together
Sometimes his dad would be jealous,
I'd sense it
When I'd hug Arman
If Bahram was close he'd react in
a way that I'd know he's jealous
Then as he got older...
We become strangers as if...
The older he'd get the more distance
would come between us
Up to when he did really become an adult
It's been a few years he
doesn't confine in me
He lies, he hides things...
Doctor...
You won't believe
Sometimes he stands in front of me
2 metres tall...
Shouts...
Offends me and patronises me
He doesn't love me anymore
-Here you go
-Thanks
Hi, sorry I'm late
Is it done?
The streets were jam-packed
Thanks Congrats!
Thank you
- You liked the products?
- It was great
-They were all brands
-Glad you liked them
Thanks
Ask your friends to come, the new products
will arrive next week.
I went to see the Doctor today.
She was really good
What are you trying to say?
You suggest I take advice from a woman
at this age?
So she takes your side at the end?
Bahram I say it for Arman
-Help us end this situation
-What situation?
Look around you, people don't have food
on their table. What are you saying?
People are poor but they love
each other at least
I know you've stopped loving me, I know it
Why am I here?
For my son?
A son who'll have his own life soon?
What happens when he leaves?
I'll become your maid?
- Or I should wait to become a grandmother?
- Have I not done enough for you?
- Disrespected you?
- You're not a woman
It's disrespectful when a husband
separates his room from his wife
Well done!
- What else has this lady taught you?
- Bahram were you this disappointed in me?
That I wouldn't know these things?
I'm sorry
If I leave it'll be bad for you Shirin
I'm telling you
Let's not forget uni now that
we've opened this place
-No but I had to have this place
-Why?
When I decide to get married soon...
Her dad asks what I do I won't have to say
I'm unemployed, might be doing
a masters...
Stand in front of him...
Hold my head up, stand up straight
Say didn't you realise from
how good I smell?
-I have a perfume shop
-No way!
Who's the lucky girl?
I'll have to see who's feet
will fit the shoe
-Yes
-Let's see whose head gets this one
Stop don't move
Mr Moradi
Arrange the meeting with Mr Abtahi
at 3 p.m.
No I can't come now I'm busy
The first reason for HIV is the
dangerous physical relationships
These are the stats the health service has
published. They're on all websites.
- You want me to carry on?
- You've understood how urgent the situation is
In the middle of all the miseries
the society is dealing with
How you mess with a married woman
to argue with her husband
Which will only lead to divorce
Don't you think you're responsible
for the tsunami of divorces?
A tsunami comes from the moving
plates underneath the sea
I passed these lessons 20 years ago
People like you put things in
married women's heads like
-How their family is taking
away their rights -Mr Samee
-You never let me finish
-You let me talk
I've put my business aside to come
here for one thing
I'm here to say leave me and
my family alone, done
Your son needs help
He's my client
And I asked for you to come in
relation to him
- Is my son ill?
- He wasn't
But if you don't help him now
it'll become too late
Have a seat for a minute please
To talk
- What's wrong with Arman?
- It's nothing serious yet
-I don't want to worry you
-Well...
Arman has no problem, I mean
I'll sort it out. Whatever it is
Mr Samee I feel like we need to be
a a bit more frank
-Sure go ahead
-You have a relationship outside marriage
And your son, your only child
knows about it
-So what? Everyone does
-They do
So many do, unfortunately
Who are the victims of these parallel
relationships?
In most marriages, challenges arise
after a while
Only one side with good management
is enough
Talk about the problem
But for some men this is an opportunity
to escape
- Am I right?
- You've decided to defend my wife. There's no point
Mr Samee, am I right?
I don't know
I know I'm not a puppet...
For my wife to reject me one day and
take me back a few years later, bye
Mr Samee
-Your phone
-Thanks
I think you better give this advice
to newly weds
It's too late for us
Call Sepehr to see what happened
to the contract and the documents
-Good thing you reminded me
-Yeah give him a call
-Good work
-Thanks
Hi Vahid, how are you?
What happened to the contract
and documents?
Why didn't you send it?
How many times do you ask for the address?
Okay will do, bye
Have this with your tea
It's good for you heart
I don't want tea at this time. I'll
have to go to the toilet a hundred times
Will you let me watch the news?
Yes
Once you've watched, let me
know what the Doctor said
- Was she supposed to say anything?
- Why did you go then?
-I was going to talk
-Right
If you want to know what I said pay loads
of money to see her and ask
Stop being stubborn, let her help us
end this bad situation
-Trust her -This situation
will end once everything ends
Otherwise my life is fine
What about my life?
I think he's fine too
But if you think you have a problem,
file for a divorce and find someone better
The same thing you've done without
a divorce?
Well done! Thanks for the honesty
You know I can find someone better
but don't tell me to my face
Because I respect you, you're
my son's mother
You're the woman of this house, I've
always slept in this house
What's the point? Like you say,
it's a hotel
A towel, and toothbrush. Clothes and a bed
that you can sleep comfortably in
-Otherwise it's not called a home
-Okay
If you think I shouldn't come to whatever
this is, fine I won't
No I said let's turn it into a home
How? With surgery? With therapy?
-With whatever we tend
-Like what?
We've nothing in common to
work on. I don't know
Our son is what we have in common but
we can't work on it
The one person we have in common,
I paid him so he'd piss off
So we've nothing in common after
26 years of being married?
-We do
-That's great!
What's good? Why do you
answer so fast?
Did you even get what I meant?
I say we do have common things
in this life
But it's the fact that we're both unhappy
We're forced to live under this roof
Why forced?
We can stop living together
Fine, I'll leave this life.
That way you'll lose out on less
I'll take my rubbish from
this house and go
Thank God I don't have much anyway
You've packed a long time Bahram
But I didn't want to leave before this
If it was 15 years ago, I'd ask you
not to leave
I'd beg you
I'd fall at your feet,
I'd make Arman an excuse
But I've no energy
A strong person should stop you from
leaving and that's not me
Because you never wanted me to be
strong for a day like this
What is it mum? Where did dad go?
What was wrong with him?
- Where are you going?
- You could've asked him
He never asks me where I go
do I don't ask him either
For this day. I did ask you so now I'm off
to your nan's. Move over
-Tell me
-Move over
-Mum tell me
-Move
Everything ended, this is something
you got us into
Don't worry you're exempt from
military service
-That's so unfair, let me take you at least
-No need
You scared me! Why like this?
- What are you doing here?
- Why should you be scared?
We have keys, no one else is
supposed to be here
Of course only we have keys
But I got scared
You'd left late but you never came
here this late
You scared me
You think I shouldn't have come?
What time is this?
- Why is your phone off? Who's this kid?
- My phone died
I promised Niknaz to take her
to amusement park
Mrs Fattahi's daughter
You're jealous?
Jealousy! As if
What's wrong Bahram?
You don't trust me?
-You're controlling me
-I'm not in the mood to argue
-You want me to ask Mrs Fattahi to get her
-No need
What is it then Bahram?
What brought you here at
this time of the night?
I ended it with Shirin
What did you do?
What are you saying?
You finally got what you wanted
-Dad mum left the house
-I'll get some tea
-No need, I'll go
-Where to?
- Where to Bahram?
- I'm not well
-I want to be alone
-You're here to be with me after so long
-Now you want to go -I did but
now I want to leave, I'm not well
Fine but come back quick,
I'll be waiting to talk
Mum don't you think I get worried
when you just leave?
I called several times but you
didn't answer your phone
Listen to this voice message
at least and answer this
Seems like a therapist can't help
the two of you either
I thought I could help you
but it seems like I was wrong again
I came home early to give you good news
I wanted to know Mehri, if you're home
for me to come see you
No, it's my niece's birthday
has something happened?
-No
-Really?
-I wanted to come see you, some other time
-Don't be shy
-No thanks
-Take care
-Okay sorry,
-Keep in touch
Hello ma'am, is there something wrong?
No, I'll be off
Hi, sorry am I mistaken?
Mrs Shirin Judi
The energetic girl in the literature
department?
-I don't recognise you
-You've every right
But I always admired you
I'm Mehrdad Fotouhi, your classmate
Sorry I don't remember
- You said Mr?
- Fotouhi
I work with flowers now,
I'm always on trips
I've an exhibition next week
I'd be happy to see you
Bye for now
I gave you keys so you wouldn't knock
-Hi
-Hi
Sorry
I left the key at home
- Is dad asleep?
- You woke him up
-Sorry
-Hi love
Hi dad
What's wrong?
Nothing
I think it's Arman
When boys get to this age, they argue
all the time
He needs to get married to change
I don't think it's about Arman
It's Bahram
Why won't you answer?
I'm worried about you
Talk to me
Are you upset with me?
Is there something wrong?
-Yes
-Ms Samee's house?
-Yes
-Courier, I'm delivering a package
-Come in
-Hi
-Good day
-This package is for you
- How much is it?
- It's already paid for
-Thank you
-Bye
Unfortunately due to wear and tare damages
it's not possible to provide a better copy
How many times should I call
for you to answer?
Why should I be ignored for so long?
Bahram I'm human too
You come say something, change
everything and leave?
You're trying to say I'm guilty?
Is that it Bahram?
Is this what you do Bahram?
Is this it Bahram?
I know you're home
I'm waiting outside your house now
Come down, I need to see you
We need to talk
You've been wandering on the streets
and now here
-Tell me what you have to say
-Should I talk or you?
What do you think of me?
Am I the cause of your problem?
Your relationship with your wife, son,
your company's bankruptcy
Why won't you answer?
I was always the second part of your life
You came around whenever you liked
Where was I in your life?
Nowhere
If I stayed with you, it was because
I loved you
I'd love to have a baby with you,
I stood by you through everything
But you're not brave enough to talk
or make decisions
Fine, if you can't make a decision, I will
I'll go
You stay with your miserable life
-Hi
-Hi
- Can I help you?
- Does a Mr Arman Samee work here?
Yes, why?
If it's about military service he's
still in full-time education
No it's not about that
-He needs to go to the station
-Station?
- Do you work for him?
- No... Yes
Give him this summon letter
Sign here
Pick up Arman
Can you believe it Kiana?
I went to his office, there was
no such thing
No one was there, it was empty
I asked around, he'd rented the place
for a month
Then ran away
I'm outside this idiot's house
see if he's in, if he hasn't ran away
-Oh look who's here
-You alright Amir?
-Come up
-Will you come down a second Amir?
I've a broken leg, I can't.
You come up
Hi
- Are they here?
- Who?
Who? The police of course
What police?
-I said let's sit in the car and talk
-Of course I believe you
I believed your broken leg too
-Otherwise you'd think I'm the fool
-Amir where is Sepehr?
An address or something
You never looked back once you opened
the store. I don't know where he is
-Dubai, Turkey, I don't know
-What do you mean you don't?
If I don't find him till tomorrow morning,
my life is over
-The police is after me
-Have some
-Tell me, you party with them every night
-You know friendships have expiration dates
-Just like products
-Is that my answer?
-No it's my life
-Amir I trusted you
-I gave them my documents to write the contract
then disappeared -Why did you give it to them?
I'd promised my friend, I'd lose the store
You got the money, you got the store.
It's not my problem
Stop the nonsense say where Sepehr is
Damn my life!
Here
Come kill me, this is my life
This is my life kill me
Don't hit yourself dad
- You think it makes a difference if I'm dead or not?
- Don't dad
It's nothing love
This is Arash, you'd asked about
He's my son
Don't pull me in the middle of it.
I'm miserable as it is
Come love, come here
I don't know what the hell to do
They have the documents and the contracts.
No one knows where they are
How many times did I tell you not to
hang out with them? You didn't listen
Now it's their own problem. You've done
nothing wrong to be afraid of
I think you need to go in Arman
It'll get worse if you don't
I'll call you back
What?
Why the police?
-Stop crying, tell me what's wrong
-Dad
You go to room 21, take a form from there
Quiet ma'am
I've got the documents
-Sorry
-His name
-His ID number
-I don't know it
-His father's name
-Bahram
-He's been bailed out
-Bailed out?
Yes Mr Bahram Samee has
Don't worry
Arman is innocent
He's been deceived
The lawyer is taking care of his case
I'll give you a lift
Where are you going Shirin?
I'm busy
Okay, leave a message.
I have a meeting right now
- What are the results?
- I went over the employee files
80% are on contracts
We can't make them all redundant
If they complain we'll be in trouble
-Here
-How would we pay them?
We've so many cheques and money we owe
The export sector is a mess
there's a heap of stuff in storage
There's no other way than to shut it down
- Are these uncertified goods?
- Yes sir
Ask them to leave it in the bottom storage
Hi Bahram
Just wanted to say Arman is either not
picking up, or is out of reach. I'm annoyed
Excuse me! Have you seen
Arman?
He was around, he might have gone out
-He's not here
-You're still tense
I'm high love, what's up with you?
Army said, not the military I mean Arman
he said you're working on a paper?
Move! Don't stick to me
-Okay
-Do you get what I'm saying?
I said don't get close
Why did you leave me?
I'm talking to you
I went shopping
-Let's go
-Go?
-I can't stand this place one second longer
-Stop sending negative vibes
Here, this is your work meeting, right?
It's cold. Let's get inside
It is, you'll know later
Your phone is here. Your mum
called so many times
-Kiana wait
-I'll get back myself
This is your work?
- Is this place safe do you think?
- It's great
-Hi
-Hi
You didn't answer when I called
I was busy
Did you bring our IDs?
No I forgot
Do you have a sim card we don't
have the number to?
- What?
- A phone number we don't have
No, why do you ask?
The answer is one word;
"yes" or "no"
Is this the time for questions like that?
I said I don't, these are all I have
-I say it for the kid
-The kid
"Kids" his age are managing a family
Shirim, I'm tired of listening to you
He said he'd go to Damavand
with his university friends...
For a practical project. I asked him
to call or text once he's there
He did neither
I called him from the house phone
and mine. He didn't pick up
Hi sir, how are you?
I called this afternoon, you weren't in
I wanted to ask if you could stop sending
products. We're stopping our line
No, there's a problem
Yes, thanks.
Bye
You always have something to be sad about
You brought him up, now you handle it
I have a million things to take care of,
don't add to them
I just want a little peace in this house
which I don't have
Kid, kid
Damn this life
She ruined our night
Drop me off at the pay toll.
I'll get back myself
-I'll find a taxi somehow
-Why are we on our way back now?
-You said I don't care
-I didn't say you don't care
-I said he doesn't have any respect
-What do you expect from him?
- A high, drunken guy?
- That's even worse
To be around people like that
- You've taken something too, right?
- Nonsense
- What do you think of me?
- Weren't we supposed to be back by now?
- Why did you leave me alone?
- You never wanted to come
I hate these sort of groups especially
when it's called a "group"
-That's what I call it
-It's not just you
Group, gang
-I don't know where it ends
-I won't end where you're thinking of
-Actually it does
-You're crossing the line
-Shut up and don't say a single word
-Don't talk to me like that
-My dad doesn't treat me like that
-Bring your volume down
-Bring it down
-Pull over, I'll get off
-Shut up
-Pull over I said
-Sit the hell back down
-You think I'm like one of those girls who
Shut up!
- Where have you been?
- Hi
Hi
-Where were you I said
-I was busy
- What do you mean?
- We'll talk later mum
Why won't you answer your mum's calls?
I wanted to say Arman is back thank God
He just seemed angry he went in his room
You complain if he gets back
early or late. I'm busy
Why don't you get it?
Weren't you the one who said "your
kid is sick, you need help"?
He did
This letter will sort everything
out Doctor, right?
I wrote one for another factory that
enough!
Stopped functioning because
of the sanctions
It depends on the power of
the ministry letter they receive
If it doesn't work out I have to
send these workers away
-It's become a nightmare I swear
-Bahram I think production is over
I think you'd rather go into import
dealing and stuff
If you know someone in customs
-You'll make a fortune
-Being a dealer!
Buy cheap, sell for more
The fate of a production manager like
me is nothing but bankruptcy
-I'm afraid of having a stroke
-Forget it
Relax a little
Go on a trip
Trip? To where?
-You're too jolly Doctor
-A trip is just an excuse
It's who you go with that matters
Go with a friend who gives you some energy
Follow this healing remedy of mine,
you won't lose out
-I'm afraid you might send me to hell
-Nothing will happen
Go on a trip with some woman
That won't mind your family or
want to get married
- Is that a new thing?
- I've heard it from others myself
They say we give peace
and receive peace...
Which is usually a trip abroad
Yes love
Yes
No, you're never bothering me
-Our letter
-Good
- It works with this letter, right?
- Yes love
I completed the loan letter and wrote
the agreement too
I got the signature too, if you send the
letter to me now, I can send them all off
I try to get the to agree
Yes, don't worry about anything
-The meeting has started
-Yes
I'll be waiting, bye
-Doctor she has a question
-I've found these pills in my son's pocket
-It's L-Arginine Ma'am
-It's not dangerous?
-No it's fine
-What are they for Doctor?
-They're amino acids
-What use do they have?
It's for fitness and gym
It doesn't matter how much he takes
It's such a pretty place
- How did you know of this place?
- I had a work meeting here
-Work meeting
-Yes
It's a really nice place
-Happy birthday
-Thank you
I can't believe you remembered my birthday
No way
Thanks
What do you say to this?
- What's this?
- It's for you
It's beautiful Bahram
- Is it the right size?
- Yes
To be honest I didn't really like the
other ring I got you
-I got you this instead
-I'm so excited I don't know what to say
You don't need to do anything
Just make a wish and blow out the candles
-Happy birthday
-Thanks Bahram
Oh I forgot, here's your birthday present
-Open this one at home
-How many gifts?
- You love me?
- Yes
Shirin
He's so handsome
I went to buy him a sweatshirt. Good thing
I didn't, it'd be too small
Did he send you photos?
He didn't tell me
No I saw it on Instagram,
the ones he'd taken at the gym
Do you take your pills Shirin?
The antidepressants, make me drowsy the
diet pills are energetic. I'm going crazy
Forget that
-A few days ago was Mahshid's daughter's wedding
-Aunt Rana has lost so much weight with the pills
Are you even taking the pills?
How come you've not lost any weight?
Aren't you taking them?
Shima don't you ever go to sleep? It's not
good for your skin. Let me live my life
- We'll talk later, okay?
- Everytime
How are you tiger?
Have some celery juice
I'm here to see you...
To pay a visit
Thanks
You left without a word the other night
now you're upset too?
- Was it so important if I had stayed?
- It'd be someone else instead
When one person gets freaked out
sending negative vibes, it ruins the night
Why did you bring the girl there if
she didn't want to be there?
Look Amir, watch it
She's not just some girl
We're engaged, kind of
'Kind of'
Good one
The whole package
- What can I say?
- Does it concern you?
It's not any of my business. There's
no photo of you both on your Instagram
-Then you're engaged
-Yes, because she doesn't want to
Her parents have allowed us to
stay in a certain phase
So your father-in-law tells you what
phase to be in
I had to choose between selling the land
and taking Kiana back
When you were out of your mind
and chose the second one
If I were to go back, I'd still make
the same decision
-My life is miserable because of that night
-It was your fault
You left when Sepehr got there
I'd have made the deal if you'd stayed
longer
You'd have sold the storage by now
I'd have sold it
See? Friendships are between
men only
That's enough, our pizza is ready
- Should I go wash my hands?
- Yes
How's your headache?
Thank you! Your hands work magic
I forgot I had a headache
It's a new kind of massage, I learned it
from the Thai lady
It's great for muscles spasms in the neck
Introduce me to her, to see if
she's having fun here
Great! What else?
The incense stick smells great,
have you changed it?
Yeah I've only just got it
-Right our pizzas will be
ready in 20 minutes -Great
- Did you see my last post on Instagram?
- That was you?
-I didn't recognise you
-Seriously?
Did I look that bad? I was wearing
the sunglasses you got me in Paris
- How did you not recognise me?
- I was joking
-How could I not? That trip was great
-Yeah
I wish we could go again.
I need a trip
Sure we'll go sometime
Who was the kid next to you?
-Are you jealous?
I wish I could have our photo on Instagram
-Don't! You can't do
-I know
Shame I can't
That's Ms Fattahi's kid
Our accountant, Bahram you've no idea
how sweet she is
She sticks to me and asks when
I'll take her home
Enough, here
-I'll show you
-You will?
-Sure, we'll see
-I've written two books on backgammon
I know which you gifted to your teacher
We'll see
Go on
-One, throw
-You held it
No, throw again, you held it, impossible
Give it to me, you're making excuses
from the start
- How did you find out?- I saw it on his Instagram
Shirin he posted something full
of sad things
-I think they've broken up again Shirin
-I'll call you back Shima
-Hi
-Hi
Good day
I saw you throw it inside
Keep ordering pills from the TV
Weren't you supposed to stop
talking those pills?
Are they going to help you lose weight?
If it wasn't for those pills...
Do you want food?
I don't want dinner
-It's a surprise
-I heard your voice message
Why are you so mad?
Is there something wrong?
- Can I help you?
- You want to go inside the microwave?
- You're mocking me?
- No
- Can you do anything other than cooking?
- I'm worried about you
About what? Yours son goes
to sleep hungry?
No actually
For my son to not talk to me
about his problems
Your aunt said you'd posted something.
She was worried
-She asked if you have a problem
-It's a miracle
My aunt in America knows
what my problem is
But my mother next in the next
room doesn't
What difference does it make?
I'm worried about you
What should I do for you to stop worrying?
I'm human too
-I have the right to be worried
-No you don't
I'd been worried about your fights
with dad since childhood
To take your messages back and forth
did you see the worry in my eyes?
Did you listen to me for me to
do the same?
Weren't you supposed to stop the pills?
To lose weight?
To get a makeover?
Now don't play the role of a kind mother
Watch it
What's the nonsense?
I'm worried about you
but I don't offend you
You want me to call you dumb like your dad
for studying a degree for six years?
You mock my weight now?
I will for you to come to your senses
To realise what's happening to you
I'm the most hated in this house
More like a mental house
and someone to cook
I'll toss them in the bin
-Hi
-Hi
- What's happened now?
- Nothing
Nothing, thank God!
-Alright for you
-What should I do?
Should I throw him out of the house?
-No! Don't
-See?
When he was a kid you tried to
protect him from everything and everyone
I said nothing, then I tried to be friends
with him when he was ten. You didn't let me
"He has to sleep, he has homework,
he's got to go to sleep"
Where are you taking him?
I still didn't complain
He got into university, I said "let me
take him to work to become independent"
You stopped me.
"Where are you taking him?"
"It's a long way, he'll get tired,
he can't study"
Here, I couldn't have a word with
this kid...
Without you complaining
You want food? I can warm it up
It's chicken tahchin and cherries
It's 1 a.m. in the morning
Who'd have rice at this age?
Dinner is a small meal at 8 p.m.
-You're not home then
-You suggest I leave work...
To come home to you
Who goes home at 8?
Home
Yes
-Come here a second
-Yes
Here, your ID
Take whatever else you need from
the document wallet
Don't wake me up
For you with love
- What's this?
- It's a small gift, guess what it is
- Did I ask you for a perfume?
- It's not a perfume
It's a simple gold ring
Thought you might like it
Suppose a diamond, did I ask for this?
Did I ask for gold?
I want an apology that's all
You were upset with me and I tried
to make it up to you
Was I wrong?
I'll forgive you when it's not
about the gift
Say I did something wrong and I apologise
And I'll respectfully agree to forgive you
Because then I'll know you're sorry
and you won't do it again
I got angry the other night and
did something wrong
Some guy who was high said some nonsense
-Forget it
-Some guy who's high
Why should he say I've heard
you're working on a paper
-With his filthy work
-I told him you're working on a paper
Stupid idiot
He didn't get paper means dissertation
He thinks paper is a drug
Which means flying
More like crashing
I'm saying from his perspective
no need to pick on me
Look Arman If you decide to meet come here
Where did you leave the dye?
Why don't you toss these out?
They're all expired
I'm so busy today
Tomorrow Ms Ghassemi has a
gathering. I want to dye my hair
I can't reach the back come do it for me
-Okay, mum
-Thanks
I'll mix your dye
I need to get back home later
What's the rush? We'll have lunch
then you can go
Shirin, I need a word
-Yes dad
-Today is women's day
The TV said this morning
I want you to buy your mum
a very good gift
Sure
Mum? Do I come in?
- Why did you cut your hair?
- I trimmed it a little
- Is it the volleyball game?
- Yes love
Iran and Brazil
I wish we had some time to talk
Talk and see what's new
I would love to dad, but...
I'm a little late right now, maybe
some other time. Is that okay?
-No
-I need to go
Take care
Bye
I wish you'd stay for lunch
Arman doesn't have keys, he might
be locked out
You can't even lie
Bye love, take care
Say bye to mum
- Is Shirin gone?
- Yes she has
I asked her to wait till I was out
She's carrying a heavy load
She'll burst if she doesn't talk
-What did you say? I didn't hear
-Nothing
Go on
I got the genetic results back.
Guess
I'm busy call back later
What are you doing?
Why don't you pay attention?
-You ruined my car
-I'll pay the compensation
Are you down on Earth?
-I'm talking to you
-I'll pay the fine idiot
He's so cheeky
-I'll call my dad
-I don't care
What do you want?
-Hi
-Hi
Last week I paid Arman his pocket money
and a million extra
He sent me a message saying I want
2 million more. As if I'm an ATM
He's young. Wouldn't it be better if
you'd waited on the back street?
I'm wearing heels, I got tired
I thought you'd say they'll report
you or whatever
-That was before, they're okay now
-I could've waited outside the bank then
I did say they're okay but not like that
They're sensitive about single ladies
-The focus on them -It's your fault,
wear the ring. So I can pick you up
They know I'm single
It's not fixed with a ring just marriage
Bahram a marriage certificate will
shut them up
Our relationship is legal
I talked to you about this on the first day
I can't you know
Look, I got my results.
I can get pregnant
-My baby will be fine
-You're starting again
Who said you couldn't?
-Why do you get upset
-Suppose you love someone for themselves
Then you find out, he only wanted a kid
- How would you feel then?
- Looks like there's been a misunderstanding
I give you the right
If I thought the man of my life wants me
just for a baby, I'd feel bad too
But our case is different
I love you for you
I love you Bahram
Do you love me?
-Yes
-Let's get going then
No way
I'll fix it for you
Don't pay attention to it
-But the eyebrow shape I did for you
-Dark at the top, blonde near the ends
Don't get extensions, your hair
will become weak
I want it to be different
Yeah come here for your party on Thursday
I'll dye your hair ombre
Make it thinner if you can
-Hi
-Hi
-I had an appointment to dye my hair
-Yes
-Bahar she's here for he hair
-Wait there, I'll be with you
I'll call you, bye for now
-Thanks
-These are our colours
- I pick from here?
- Yes
I've never been to a salon or dyed
my hair since my wedding
I got some highlights close to my wedding
Look this blue one and the coffee
coloured one are the best
I got highlights close to my wedding
Then my husband said either your natural
colour or black
So I never went for it
Now I have too many white hairs
I used to cut the before but
now I can't be bothered
Which one have you chosen?
I don't know. What colour is in
fashion right now?
-People mostly have light colours
-It should suit you obviously
Can we go for a colour that makes
me seem younger?
- You're young!
- I have a 24 year-old son
Well then you got married young
Yes I was 20 when I had him
Women your age are either single or
have 20 year-old boyfriends
Then you think you're too old?
There's also this...
I think according to your skin colour
This colour is really good
- What's new? What happened?
- Nothing
-He wouldn't let go
-What about your car?
It's just the bumper. Thanks for sending
the money or I'd still be there
No problem, what decision did you
make? What do you want to do?
Can you buy some time for me?
Or a little discount, on the bond at least
This place is great, I don't want
us to lose it
I have to go otherwise I'd never
let anyone else have it
I have one way...
To find a good customer for the storage
place to sell it
My dad said if I do, I can have
half the share
I've collected all the cups
I've brought these out instead
We've stored everything away for no reason
Good idea
I remember you used to like these
thin ones
- Was that sarcasm?
- Sarcasm?
Why sarcasm?
I meant the cups
I got it
- What is it?
- I want to leave you
- Congrats!
- I'm joking
Look Bahram the stone has fallen off
I thought you give it to Mr Shaabani
to fix
Okay
Hot tea
Dad used to say better than hot is
when it's perfect. No one can complain
- Are you okay?
- Why do you ask?
Shut up, why are you being sarcastic?
- Why do you say that?
- "You like them thin"
"Perfect so you don't complain".
You think I don't get it?
- Are you in doubt of yourself?
- No I'm not
I doubt your words. You always
mean something else
Suppose it does, why do you take
it personal
-You're probably thinking of the wrong
thing -Fine, you're the perfect woman
I'm a mobile ATM
I asked for a place to sleep
a towel and a toothbrush
If you think it's too much I can
always move out
What are you saying Bahram?
If you don't want to come home at all
then don't. Why look for excuses?
Great!
- Are you leaving or coming back?
- Leaving
You're an early bird.
Why do you look like that?
- Why are you a mess?
- I didn't sleep well
I should tend the factory, insurance
company and so many other things
- What about you?
- I had something important to do
And what would that be?
See? You're telling me
What happened to your degree?
Or your military service?
Could you once, for once...
- Ask me how I am, after saying hi?
- You seem fine, thank god
Otherwise you'd be on the hospital bed
Don't think just because you run away
I don't know what you're doing
You chase up that degree
this is the last time I'm telling you
I don't want to work in that factory
even if I get my degree
No one's waiting for you there
Sell the storage, take half the share.
Let's see what you can do
What's happened to the car?
-It doesn't matter
-What's that mean?
Listen to your voicemail whenever
you get the time to.
I had an accident that's what the money
was for. You were busy as always
Cheeky
Get up, what's this?
I got your some celery smoothie
-Get up
-That was my phone you trampled on
Now you ask what it was?
- Am I guilty again?
- Am I?
For your husband who hates coming home?
What's my fault?
So you've let him go to be on my case
Fine I won't "be on your case"
How come when I cook, do the laundry or
tidy up your room it's my responsibility
Bringing you up is my responsibility
When I call, you're the poor guy
I'm the bully?
I'm not a kid, I'm an adult
Here, see. You called eight
times
Not once, that's what I mean
When you should spend time with your
husband, you call me
Watch your language!
If you turn 100 Arman,
if you have ten children of your own
You're the kid and I'm your mother
What are you saying?
What husband?
Your dad doesn't even see me
I dyed my hair after 20 years
He didn't notice. I wish he'd told me
I looked ugly
Not so indifferent Look at me
You didn't notice me like your dad
Hi, how are you?
Yes I'll set off now
What's the problem? When she showed
me a picture of you...
Said "mum you know there's never
been a man in my life"
This one is because he means well
and wants to become serious
You trust me and don't ask questions
I never did to be honest and trusted her
Yes I understand
Would it be possible for you to
introduce me to her father?
So I can explain my situation
So we can be engaged at least
Her father won't accept, I know him
-He only sees marriage as being official
-So many of mine and Kiana's friends
Are living together without being married
Everyone would love to live without rules
-But that's not possible
-Yes, you're right
But I'm not in the position
I need more time...
To sell the damn place and get some money
Please
Look I'm doing it there's no way back
Take a look at these you might
decide to get one
Your first decision is always the best.
Life means excitement
The more you think, the more
miserable you are
Life is excitement
Right bro?
-Definitely
-Don't move
-Don't move
-Seen you posted for free drugs
- You give out free drugs?
- No
Some want drugs, want drugs to feel
better and sell drugs
I'm at everyone's service, first one is
paid the other one free
When should we get together Sepehr?
-Do it with others
-I mean the land
The owner is here, Arman
I wish I could look at the paperwork
It's not on me
To be honest no one carries it around
He's a good landlord he knows the
papers should stay in the safe
Once we agree on the price, I'll bring
the paperwork
-Calm down
-Don't move
Cut all of it so I
don't have to cut it ever again
Don't get cheeky. I can't do that
you need to go to the barber's
Don't move
-Raana
-Yes love
You've not forgotten about
the loan letters?
Yes, today we were after the files
They said they'd help if they can
It's probably done, don't worry
-Bahram
-Yes love
You'll stay tonight, right?
No, I can't. But I'll leave late.
Is that good?
I wanted to say I was angry the other day
-I'm sorry
-Leave me alone
Go away
I'm not well
Arman I said I wasn't okay
Arman why can't we talk?
You're upset about something right now
It's got nothing to do with me
tell me what it is
I'm your mother Arman, who else would
you talk about it?
Don't break your mother's heart Arman
I'll be waiting to hear about it
What's this girl's story?
She has a suitor
Every girl has suitors
Her parents can't wait for me to
finish my degree or military service
Right, that's normal too.
What else?
They might say "yes" to him
Right
I don't want to lose her mum
What does she think?
Does she love you too?
Yes mum she does, I love her too
That's it, you don't know us women
We're willing to wait forever for
the one we love
You want me to talk to her?
They have a condition
Then I'll make some tea and for you
to tell me about it
Get up
The first few months weren't
too serious for me
I had a good feeling of having a friend
I didn't think of how long
we'd be together...
Or if it'll become serious
Then it wasn't too serious to begin with
-Then it became serious
-Not as serious as you'd think
-Yes, you haven't introduced
Kiana to the family -I don't mean that
I mean our relationship has some
limitations
That's more like a joke for couple
in the 21st century
The only serious thing is
how we feeling about one another
-It can be a positive point
-Yes
But the limitations are annoying
When did this aggression and anger
management issue start?
-It's always been like that, now a
little more -It's always been like that
My problem isn't him shouting right now
It's the apology I told you
about last session
-Arman doesn't know what apology means
-What is it?
Does it have a strange meaning?
It means saying sorry
I bought you a present with little money,
I had to say sorry
- Is that bad?
- Apology has a principle
People kill, they pay blood money
and it's sorted
-I have to say sorry somehow
-It's in your words
In your looks, in your heart
Not buying expensive gifts
with your dad's money
I was wrong
I was wrong to have gotten you a gift
That's what I meant
Looks like I owe you something too now
Kiana wait outside, I'll call you
if necessary
Have a glass of water
What other factors do you think there are?
Other than the things you already said
- What else makes you so angry?
- I don't know
I'm always like this
Have your parents dealt with your
anger issues?
-We don't talk much
-You don't talk to them much
-No one does
-Why not?
We might get together once or
twice a year, an eid
Wedding or funeral in the family
Hi mum, how are you?
I'm fine, no Arman is inside
I don't know as much as we need
-It's an emotional breakup
-It's become epidemic
It's a good name, never heard of it before
That's exactly what they're like
Yes love
- Do you know what I thinking of in the shower?
- Of what?
Paris, where the lady asked for
the address and I said...
- What did she say?
- The old lady?
When you can say "I don't know" so well,
just learn the language
She was right
Raana see who it is
-Factory
-Is it?
-Don't answer Bahram
-Why?
-We want to have dinner
-Give it to me
-I won't
-Let me see what it is
Yes
What?
Say it louder
It's broken?
Can it be... The fuse?
Why should we shut down?
Call Mr Amani to come
Yes call him, I'll be there
Why do you say you'll go?
We're about to have dinner
-One of our machines are
broken, Chinese parts -I made food
Okay but I got to go otherwise
it'll be shut down
Then I'll wait till you get back
I won't eat
We'll see how much it costs
Great food
It's so good
Don't fall out with me, leave it in
the fridge I'll come eat it
You never said why you want the storage
Grow beetroots
I think you're better off growing cactus
because of the water issue
It's a type of flower
-Great place
-That's it
Right, where do we start?
What a great place, perfect!
-Let's see the rest
-Let's go
-Okay mum
-Don't listen to your dad
I'll make the food, you leave some
salt for him
Okay love
The phone is ringing mum, I'll call you
Okay bye
Hi mum
I'm going to dad's factory,
I might not have signal on the road
I may be out of reach if you call
but don't get worried
Our chat made me see a therapist
with Kiana
I'm feeling much better, I got
you an appointment, they'll call you
Talk to dad to go with you.
Take care
Much better speed Shirin
- What else can I do?
- How much weight have you lost?
-3 kilos
-Well done, good work
- Really?
- Yes!
-You can't tell though
-You can
How long hasn't it been rewound yet
Over ten years now
It must have been damaged by now
I won't promise, but I'll try
my best to do it
Won't you go to sleep?
No, I'm busy
Will you be long?
Yes I will
There were three things
Has your car broken down?
You need money?
-No
-If the issue is Arman
If I am to fight with him, you shouldn't
be there to take his side
-No it's not them
-Go on then! I hate 20 questions
-I was telling you, you stopped-
-It's always the same things
I said it before you so you
can get on with your life
I wanted to say I have an appointment for
surgery this week
- Surgery? What for?
- No don't worry
It's beauty
I want to lose all the weight altogether
I've heard they pull the muscles too
What's the pressure?
Have you thought about it?
Surgery is risky
You go under anesthesia
- Isn't it good to be pretty?
- At this age?
I don't know, if it's for me
I've no expectations of you
If it's for your health, go ahead
-I've already got the appointment
-Okay
Why do you sulk?
How much money do you need?
What was the second one?
Arman has booked us in to see a therapist
-Yes
-Has got us an appointment?
-Yeah
-Interesting, right
Go on then! What are you
waiting for?
-You cut me when I try to-
-Me what? Me me me
The lankie has booked us in to
see a therapist
He needs to be seen himself
and you accepted?
What's the third one?
Nothing
-Here you go sir
-Mr Samee first
Sorry I didn't recognise you
He's so grown!
-Sorry again
-Thanks
Thanks
-I don't want any, take it
-Sure
I keep referring to you as 'Mr'
so you keep ignoring it
What happened to your degree?
Once they sell military services, I'll
hand in my dissertation and get my degree
What if I don't want to pay for it?
Your mother never let me
make a man out of you
- Why would I take the opportunity away?
- I won't trouble you until then
-I'll buy it -If I don't die until then,
for you to inherit money. What then?
Dad I'm not in the mood to argue
Yes there's no need
You think arguing with a sick man
is pointless
- When did I ever dare say that?
- What's with the Doctor's appointment then?
For your mother and I
Better be your last time to meddle
with our relationship
Did I ever ask where you go?
Why you go? When you get back?
-I wish you had
-Stop it
You teenagers think as long as you're being
paid, it means you're being supported
-I'm doing the same
-What job should I have?
Is there any around for me?
This place is a mess
Dad you promised me to come
whenever I have a buyer
Now I've got one. I want to sell it so
I can start a job with the money
The paperwork is in your name watch out
-Don't waste the money, this is
your last chance -You're so negative
It's my friend's store, he's moving abroad.
He suggested I rent the place
A perfume shop in the best place,
I'll make you proud
-I promise I'll prove your son is a man -I had
other dreams for you, look where you are now
"Perfume Shop"
-Mr Moradi
-Yes sir
You'll go to the registry office
with Mr Samee
-He'll sign for the paperwork
and you hand it over -Yes
-Thanks dad, bye
-Bye
Next person
Look at the camera
- Hi, how are you?
- Good thanks
- Where's Mr Sepehr?
- He'll see you
If you agree with the amount of rent, good
Don't think too much
You won't find another customer
I'll give you a lump sum,
you can sort out your problem
- Have you got the documents?
- Yes they're on me
Let's see
I'll pass it on to my lawyer...
To write the contract and I'll
send it to you
500 million tomans
Have fun
You have a degree in literature, right?
I could have but once Arman was
born, I left university
- Why?
- I wanted to point to Rostam and Sohrab but we'll leave it till later
Why did you leave uni when Sohrab
I mean Arman was born?
That's a long story
I got pregnant on my last term
Then when you become a mother you
should forget your own preferences
It all becomes the bringing up, cleaning
cooking
Then you become the expert in Qorma
or Gheimeh Bademjan
-My entire life became my son
-And your son's father, of course
When you become a mother,
everything changes
Especially the pregnancy I had...
The scent of my husband's presence
made me sick
Everytime I saw him, I'd be sick
After my delivery, my life was Arman
Your Arman, got help before things
got too serious
Good to know the parent's cooperation
during therapy is really important Mrs Samee
You know Arman is living with a
brother and sister
Instead of his parents
I'm talking about the affection
in the relationship
You think this lack of feelings
is normal for your son?
Doesn't your husband object?
I thought he's a bit agitated at first
He was angry
-But he never said anything himself
-What about you?
You never talked about it?
-No
-Why not?
I'm too embarrassed, we've been brought
up like this
That's not right, as you can see
In our country couples accept all
sorts of right for one another
Other than the legal right to love
Do you know the result of these excuses?
In our country, most women experience
early menopause at the age of 40
They're mostly depressed or feel old
They experience pains and aches
- You think it's their own fault?
- They're not innocent
What kind of a role model as a woman
Who can't talk of the most
important and feminine can she be?
The first love of any boy's life
is his mother
It might have been in the past
but not anymore
When he was a kid he loved me a lot
We were always together
Sometimes his dad would be jealous,
I'd sense it
When I'd hug Arman
If Bahram was close he'd react in
a way that I'd know he's jealous
Then as he got older...
We become strangers as if...
The older he'd get the more distance
would come between us
Up to when he did really become an adult
It's been a few years he
doesn't confine in me
He lies, he hides things...
Doctor...
You won't believe
Sometimes he stands in front of me
2 metres tall...
Shouts...
Offends me and patronises me
He doesn't love me anymore
-Here you go
-Thanks
Hi, sorry I'm late
Is it done?
The streets were jam-packed
Thanks Congrats!
Thank you
- You liked the products?
- It was great
-They were all brands
-Glad you liked them
Thanks
Ask your friends to come, the new products
will arrive next week.
I went to see the Doctor today.
She was really good
What are you trying to say?
You suggest I take advice from a woman
at this age?
So she takes your side at the end?
Bahram I say it for Arman
-Help us end this situation
-What situation?
Look around you, people don't have food
on their table. What are you saying?
People are poor but they love
each other at least
I know you've stopped loving me, I know it
Why am I here?
For my son?
A son who'll have his own life soon?
What happens when he leaves?
I'll become your maid?
- Or I should wait to become a grandmother?
- Have I not done enough for you?
- Disrespected you?
- You're not a woman
It's disrespectful when a husband
separates his room from his wife
Well done!
- What else has this lady taught you?
- Bahram were you this disappointed in me?
That I wouldn't know these things?
I'm sorry
If I leave it'll be bad for you Shirin
I'm telling you
Let's not forget uni now that
we've opened this place
-No but I had to have this place
-Why?
When I decide to get married soon...
Her dad asks what I do I won't have to say
I'm unemployed, might be doing
a masters...
Stand in front of him...
Hold my head up, stand up straight
Say didn't you realise from
how good I smell?
-I have a perfume shop
-No way!
Who's the lucky girl?
I'll have to see who's feet
will fit the shoe
-Yes
-Let's see whose head gets this one
Stop don't move
Mr Moradi
Arrange the meeting with Mr Abtahi
at 3 p.m.
No I can't come now I'm busy
The first reason for HIV is the
dangerous physical relationships
These are the stats the health service has
published. They're on all websites.
- You want me to carry on?
- You've understood how urgent the situation is
In the middle of all the miseries
the society is dealing with
How you mess with a married woman
to argue with her husband
Which will only lead to divorce
Don't you think you're responsible
for the tsunami of divorces?
A tsunami comes from the moving
plates underneath the sea
I passed these lessons 20 years ago
People like you put things in
married women's heads like
-How their family is taking
away their rights -Mr Samee
-You never let me finish
-You let me talk
I've put my business aside to come
here for one thing
I'm here to say leave me and
my family alone, done
Your son needs help
He's my client
And I asked for you to come in
relation to him
- Is my son ill?
- He wasn't
But if you don't help him now
it'll become too late
Have a seat for a minute please
To talk
- What's wrong with Arman?
- It's nothing serious yet
-I don't want to worry you
-Well...
Arman has no problem, I mean
I'll sort it out. Whatever it is
Mr Samee I feel like we need to be
a a bit more frank
-Sure go ahead
-You have a relationship outside marriage
And your son, your only child
knows about it
-So what? Everyone does
-They do
So many do, unfortunately
Who are the victims of these parallel
relationships?
In most marriages, challenges arise
after a while
Only one side with good management
is enough
Talk about the problem
But for some men this is an opportunity
to escape
- Am I right?
- You've decided to defend my wife. There's no point
Mr Samee, am I right?
I don't know
I know I'm not a puppet...
For my wife to reject me one day and
take me back a few years later, bye
Mr Samee
-Your phone
-Thanks
I think you better give this advice
to newly weds
It's too late for us
Call Sepehr to see what happened
to the contract and the documents
-Good thing you reminded me
-Yeah give him a call
-Good work
-Thanks
Hi Vahid, how are you?
What happened to the contract
and documents?
Why didn't you send it?
How many times do you ask for the address?
Okay will do, bye
Have this with your tea
It's good for you heart
I don't want tea at this time. I'll
have to go to the toilet a hundred times
Will you let me watch the news?
Yes
Once you've watched, let me
know what the Doctor said
- Was she supposed to say anything?
- Why did you go then?
-I was going to talk
-Right
If you want to know what I said pay loads
of money to see her and ask
Stop being stubborn, let her help us
end this bad situation
-Trust her -This situation
will end once everything ends
Otherwise my life is fine
What about my life?
I think he's fine too
But if you think you have a problem,
file for a divorce and find someone better
The same thing you've done without
a divorce?
Well done! Thanks for the honesty
You know I can find someone better
but don't tell me to my face
Because I respect you, you're
my son's mother
You're the woman of this house, I've
always slept in this house
What's the point? Like you say,
it's a hotel
A towel, and toothbrush. Clothes and a bed
that you can sleep comfortably in
-Otherwise it's not called a home
-Okay
If you think I shouldn't come to whatever
this is, fine I won't
No I said let's turn it into a home
How? With surgery? With therapy?
-With whatever we tend
-Like what?
We've nothing in common to
work on. I don't know
Our son is what we have in common but
we can't work on it
The one person we have in common,
I paid him so he'd piss off
So we've nothing in common after
26 years of being married?
-We do
-That's great!
What's good? Why do you
answer so fast?
Did you even get what I meant?
I say we do have common things
in this life
But it's the fact that we're both unhappy
We're forced to live under this roof
Why forced?
We can stop living together
Fine, I'll leave this life.
That way you'll lose out on less
I'll take my rubbish from
this house and go
Thank God I don't have much anyway
You've packed a long time Bahram
But I didn't want to leave before this
If it was 15 years ago, I'd ask you
not to leave
I'd beg you
I'd fall at your feet,
I'd make Arman an excuse
But I've no energy
A strong person should stop you from
leaving and that's not me
Because you never wanted me to be
strong for a day like this
What is it mum? Where did dad go?
What was wrong with him?
- Where are you going?
- You could've asked him
He never asks me where I go
do I don't ask him either
For this day. I did ask you so now I'm off
to your nan's. Move over
-Tell me
-Move over
-Mum tell me
-Move
Everything ended, this is something
you got us into
Don't worry you're exempt from
military service
-That's so unfair, let me take you at least
-No need
You scared me! Why like this?
- What are you doing here?
- Why should you be scared?
We have keys, no one else is
supposed to be here
Of course only we have keys
But I got scared
You'd left late but you never came
here this late
You scared me
You think I shouldn't have come?
What time is this?
- Why is your phone off? Who's this kid?
- My phone died
I promised Niknaz to take her
to amusement park
Mrs Fattahi's daughter
You're jealous?
Jealousy! As if
What's wrong Bahram?
You don't trust me?
-You're controlling me
-I'm not in the mood to argue
-You want me to ask Mrs Fattahi to get her
-No need
What is it then Bahram?
What brought you here at
this time of the night?
I ended it with Shirin
What did you do?
What are you saying?
You finally got what you wanted
-Dad mum left the house
-I'll get some tea
-No need, I'll go
-Where to?
- Where to Bahram?
- I'm not well
-I want to be alone
-You're here to be with me after so long
-Now you want to go -I did but
now I want to leave, I'm not well
Fine but come back quick,
I'll be waiting to talk
Mum don't you think I get worried
when you just leave?
I called several times but you
didn't answer your phone
Listen to this voice message
at least and answer this
Seems like a therapist can't help
the two of you either
I thought I could help you
but it seems like I was wrong again
I came home early to give you good news
I wanted to know Mehri, if you're home
for me to come see you
No, it's my niece's birthday
has something happened?
-No
-Really?
-I wanted to come see you, some other time
-Don't be shy
-No thanks
-Take care
-Okay sorry,
-Keep in touch
Hello ma'am, is there something wrong?
No, I'll be off
Hi, sorry am I mistaken?
Mrs Shirin Judi
The energetic girl in the literature
department?
-I don't recognise you
-You've every right
But I always admired you
I'm Mehrdad Fotouhi, your classmate
Sorry I don't remember
- You said Mr?
- Fotouhi
I work with flowers now,
I'm always on trips
I've an exhibition next week
I'd be happy to see you
Bye for now
I gave you keys so you wouldn't knock
-Hi
-Hi
Sorry
I left the key at home
- Is dad asleep?
- You woke him up
-Sorry
-Hi love
Hi dad
What's wrong?
Nothing
I think it's Arman
When boys get to this age, they argue
all the time
He needs to get married to change
I don't think it's about Arman
It's Bahram
Why won't you answer?
I'm worried about you
Talk to me
Are you upset with me?
Is there something wrong?
-Yes
-Ms Samee's house?
-Yes
-Courier, I'm delivering a package
-Come in
-Hi
-Good day
-This package is for you
- How much is it?
- It's already paid for
-Thank you
-Bye
Unfortunately due to wear and tare damages
it's not possible to provide a better copy
How many times should I call
for you to answer?
Why should I be ignored for so long?
Bahram I'm human too
You come say something, change
everything and leave?
You're trying to say I'm guilty?
Is that it Bahram?
Is this what you do Bahram?
Is this it Bahram?
I know you're home
I'm waiting outside your house now
Come down, I need to see you
We need to talk
You've been wandering on the streets
and now here
-Tell me what you have to say
-Should I talk or you?
What do you think of me?
Am I the cause of your problem?
Your relationship with your wife, son,
your company's bankruptcy
Why won't you answer?
I was always the second part of your life
You came around whenever you liked
Where was I in your life?
Nowhere
If I stayed with you, it was because
I loved you
I'd love to have a baby with you,
I stood by you through everything
But you're not brave enough to talk
or make decisions
Fine, if you can't make a decision, I will
I'll go
You stay with your miserable life
-Hi
-Hi
- Can I help you?
- Does a Mr Arman Samee work here?
Yes, why?
If it's about military service he's
still in full-time education
No it's not about that
-He needs to go to the station
-Station?
- Do you work for him?
- No... Yes
Give him this summon letter
Sign here
Pick up Arman
Can you believe it Kiana?
I went to his office, there was
no such thing
No one was there, it was empty
I asked around, he'd rented the place
for a month
Then ran away
I'm outside this idiot's house
see if he's in, if he hasn't ran away
-Oh look who's here
-You alright Amir?
-Come up
-Will you come down a second Amir?
I've a broken leg, I can't.
You come up
Hi
- Are they here?
- Who?
Who? The police of course
What police?
-I said let's sit in the car and talk
-Of course I believe you
I believed your broken leg too
-Otherwise you'd think I'm the fool
-Amir where is Sepehr?
An address or something
You never looked back once you opened
the store. I don't know where he is
-Dubai, Turkey, I don't know
-What do you mean you don't?
If I don't find him till tomorrow morning,
my life is over
-The police is after me
-Have some
-Tell me, you party with them every night
-You know friendships have expiration dates
-Just like products
-Is that my answer?
-No it's my life
-Amir I trusted you
-I gave them my documents to write the contract
then disappeared -Why did you give it to them?
I'd promised my friend, I'd lose the store
You got the money, you got the store.
It's not my problem
Stop the nonsense say where Sepehr is
Damn my life!
Here
Come kill me, this is my life
This is my life kill me
Don't hit yourself dad
- You think it makes a difference if I'm dead or not?
- Don't dad
It's nothing love
This is Arash, you'd asked about
He's my son
Don't pull me in the middle of it.
I'm miserable as it is
Come love, come here
I don't know what the hell to do
They have the documents and the contracts.
No one knows where they are
How many times did I tell you not to
hang out with them? You didn't listen
Now it's their own problem. You've done
nothing wrong to be afraid of
I think you need to go in Arman
It'll get worse if you don't
I'll call you back
What?
Why the police?
-Stop crying, tell me what's wrong
-Dad
You go to room 21, take a form from there
Quiet ma'am
I've got the documents
-Sorry
-His name
-His ID number
-I don't know it
-His father's name
-Bahram
-He's been bailed out
-Bailed out?
Yes Mr Bahram Samee has
Don't worry
Arman is innocent
He's been deceived
The lawyer is taking care of his case
I'll give you a lift
Where are you going Shirin?
