Based on actual events
When the Moon was Full
Set aside ten lipsticks from Mecca for me.
It has many takers. Just make sure they're not old.
- Nothing's old here. It all goes fast. - Give me a discount.
We don't have discounts on original items, sorry Mrs. Mansouri.
- You're stricter every time I come back! - Go get a box from storage.
People usually strike a deal with their regular customers.
Border agents are stricter. I don't have a choice.
- You've become strict too. - Do you want me to play you some music?
- Finish dealing with me first. - He went to get them from storage.
- It'll take ten minutes. -How much is this?
You've got to be patient.
- You can't try that on. - I'll just draw a line.
The tip will wear off and no one will buy it.
Fine, I'll take it.
- It's just that no one will buy it. - I'll take it.
I sold all the L'Oreal hair dyes.
But you don't have all the colors...
Was the lightest one a N-10?
What was the lightest one?
Do you have nail polish too?
- Is that your daughter? -What?
What do you want with her, bastard?

A film by Narges Abyar
Tehran, 2002
Hi. Welcome. Sorry I'm late, I was training.
How are you?
So one year of talking on the phone finally paid off?
Yes.
Welcome, welcome. Excuse me.
I brought this for Faezeh.
- Thank you. -It's nothing.
“My solemn gaze roved over your innocent face,
it shifted away in shame, seeking your affection.”
I wrote the poem myself and had a friend carve it in wood.
- Thank you. -You're welcome.
- Wonderful! You're a poet too? - It's just a hobby.
I went through something too and said a few lines like,
“You said I love you, I said it soothes your pain...
Yes.
- “I said I'm broke, she said what a useless bloke!” -Shahaab, let us talk.
- We were talking about poetry... - Your siblings didn't come?
I would've had to rent a bus there's so many of them!
- An army from here to there! - Bless the lord.
- I don't know what to say... -Go ahead.
I don't know how it happened.
I can't marry off my daughter faraway.
I only have this one daughter. It's hard, we're from different cultures.
- My daughter was raised in Tehran... - Don't worry. She'll get used to it.
- There are many Tehrani brides there. - No, it's just that...
I'm a merchant.
I take things to Pakistan, and bring things back for Abdol-Hamid's store.
My sister Ghamnaz has done a lot for her children.
We're worried about the distance too.
But they want each other. What can we do?
Abdol-Hamid's driving us crazy!
They've been talking to each other for a year
and Abdol-Hamid comes to Tehran to see her.
- Do you want them to elope? - It'll be like in Swan Song.
- God forbid! -Remember the film Swan Song?
Faezeh made that.
All these doilies, the one on the TV,
the one on the wall, the cushions, it's all made by Faezeh.
- Wonderful! -My daughter is very talented.
Very nice!
- I don't know what to say... -Go ahead.
We don't have any cases of divorce in our family.
It's not nice speaking about divorce when you're here to ask for her hand,
we believe a girl should marry in white, and return in a white shroud...
We don't believe in divorce either. The prophet says,
“The most hateful thing to Allah is divorce.”
- Sir? -Yes?
Every time someone's come to ask for her hand,
I've said she can't leave my side.
At the most, they can get a house at the end of the street.
Yes.
When their father passed away, may God rest his soul,
I went through great hardships to raise them.
Until Mousa came into our lives and took on their responsibility.
I have always said God sent him to us.
- He's been a true father to them... - God bless you.
- There's something else I need to say. - Go ahead.
My daughter has a birth defect, it's her foot.
Hamid knows, but you should know too, because we have nothing to hide...
- That's okay. -But she has beautiful eyes.
Shahaab dear!
Don't mention her defect without her strengths.
Congratulations! Congratulations!
His mom won't say a word!
- Girl? -Yes.
I want to wash up.
It's the second door to the right.
My son is no good for you.
Mom!
Mom!
- Yes? -What did you tell Faezeh?
Do you want to crush me? Why did you tell her about Abdol-Vahab?
Why not? You don't have a sister.
If you did, I'd thank the person who's honest with me.
When she finds out your eldest brother was killed,
won't she wonder why we didn't tell her?
She'll never forgive you then.
- What did she say when you told her? - Nothing. You've stolen her heart!
Mom, look at me.
If this girl doesn't work out, I will runaway and get lost.
Zahedan, 3 months later
Buy some lace for the ceremony in Tehran,
but wear one of these for the ceremony here.
- How much is it? -This one?
This is better...
When it's made into a dress you'll look so beautiful!
I'll write you a song.
Cover your hair...
Look at that cat.
That's me, singing for you.
- Should I get it for you? -No thanks.
Hello?
I'll be right there.
- Who's that? - His younger brother, Abdol-Majid.
- Should we go say hello? - No, forget about him.
Why don't you understand? It's below us...
Below us?
- They've agreed. She'll be my wife. - Abdol-Hamid! Abdol-Hamid!
She's the most important thing in the world to me.
If you insult her, you've insulted me. Do you understand?
You've lost the path.
“You, who are so proud of your name, if you are not in love, then shame”.
- Get lost. - When you began playing music,
when you started selling makeup, I thought you'd become vain,
but I didn't think you'd sell your religion too, for a woman, for the world.
Do you think you're God's only pure creature?
That everyone else is bad and filthy, but you're good...
I don't want to waste my time arguing.
- I'm saying this for your own good... - Yeah, right...
- Love is fleeting... -Fine.
It lasts six months. Then you begin to see her faults.
Especially this one! She's not married yet and wears makeup!
You have no right insulting her.
Don't mention my wife. You're the filthy one...
I got this for you. Why was it in Shahaab's room?
I didn't give it to him. He borrowed it.
Faezeh shut the door.
Take off your scarf. I wanna see your hair.
Why not?
- Let's get married first. - I really want to see your hair.
My mom says it's long and curly.
Like a waterfall. Really?
How wonderful! I'm so lucky!
Have you washed the tomatoes?
Faezeh where do you belong? Where?
- What do you mean? -You belong right here.
- Where? -Congratulations! Congratulations!
- Do you want some help? - Don't follow everywhere I go.
- Everyone's looking! -So what?
It's not like I'm stealing. You're my wife.
I'm gonna stay right here, let them say what they will.
- Go inside. -Give it to me.
Go inside!
I'll soak you!
You'll catch a cold on your wedding night!
You made me wet?
Stop that! Hamid!
What're you doing?
- Get up! -She started it.
You shouldn't do it. Be the adult.
Take this.
Dry your shirt. Go behind the wall.
You're gonna be bride and groom!
- Go behind the wall. -Sorry!
I almost choked!
“Love sometimes turns into your hue,
bringing the moments of life in view”.
- Like it? -Did you just make that up?
What eyes you have!
They're like dogs.
- What does that mean? -They're like dogs.
They've grabbed hold of my heels and won't let go.
Like that day at the store.
You grabbed hold of me and drove me crazy...
- You've got a cellphone? - Saved by the bell!
Hello?
It's your mom.
How are you?
How's Mr. Noureddin?
You haven't left yet?
I know him. He's a shopkeeper.
We know.
- We realize it's a bad time. -Mousa?
- What's going on? - They want to talk to Hamid.
- I'll be right down. - His wife will be right down.
- Hello. -Hello.
- Congratulations. -Thanks.
- I am Ahmad Abdollahi. - They want to see Hamid.
We know it's not a good time. We didn't realize.
- We need to ask some questions. - They were only married a few hours ago.
It's an emergency.
- Ms. Mansouri, ask him to come down. - How do you know me?
Tell him we just have a few questions about Abdol-Malek.
- Who's Abdol-Malek? -He knows.
Abdol-Vahed, go inside.
Go dear!
I will help however I can.
- Congratulations on your wedding. -Thanks.
- Congratulations Ma'am. -Thank you.
And about the other thing...
That issue has nothing to do with him. We just wanted to see if he could help.
Thank you.
Tell me what's going on with your family!
- Please tell me the truth... - I told you everything.
I am honest with you.
Have I ever lied to you?
It's my family. What can I do?
- They weren't like this, but they changed. - I have to know what's going on.
- You're brother's called Abdol-Malek? - Don't ask...
- He ran off to Pakistan? -Don't ask me...
Why?
They told me in there not to say anything.
Otherwise I'd tell you. Believe me.
If you don't trust me I won't insist.
But if you want me the way I am, I'll do everything for you.
Otherwise I'll leave.
It's not too late to separate.
Faezeh...
get in.
It's delicious. Have some.
These dresses...
No thanks. I don't want any.
- Hello. -Come in please.
How are you?
So you are Moones. See what we brought you.
We thought you'd probably bought a walker,
we brought one in case someone could use it.
My mother-in-law sent one of them.
Thank you.
We are alone and poor. The kids made these.
See if this fits her.
It's beautiful.
How pretty you look!
- How are you? -My legs hurt.
God bless you.
Do you like your dress?
Uncle stop! Stop!
Stop that!
- You are our guest. - We don't want you to kill it for us!
But you're our guest.
They have one goat and want to cook it for us!
- Are you two sisters? -How could you tell?
You look alike. That one's Preity Zinta's choice.
- Who? -Can I have a tissue?
- Preity Zinta. You don't know her? -No.
She was in that film with the guy.
What was the name of the film where they fall in love in school?
- “Heart”! Have you seen it? -No.
You'll laugh for half the film, and cry at the end.
- Do you watch a lot of movies? - Yes. It's my job.
Don't look at me here.
- I'm into arts. Art, cinema, camera... - Hello?
Yes? How are you?
Do you work in television?
Really? I'll be right there!
I want to save cinema...
- Shahaab, close up! -Why?
- You're an uncle! -What?
- You're an uncle! -Really?
Thanks ladies! Excuse me, I didn't get you name...
- I'm Golnaz. - I'm Shahaab. Ask for me when you call.
- But we want to shop... - Ladies, cut, straight to maternity.
- His name's Saeed? -Yes.
It's nice. But if you name him Amir, Shahrokh, Salman,
when he grows up you can call him Amir Khan, Shahrokh Khan, Salman Khan...
- It's out of my hands. She's the boss. - He'll be Saeed Khan! It's gangster!
I wanted my mom to see the baby.
I haven't been back home for a year-and-a-half.
Don't give me a guilt trip!
I didn't say you couldn't go. I just want my daughter to be around.
You can come and go as you please. Faezeh should go too.
After all it's your mom.
- You've turned into a man. - Hi. How are you?
Hello mom. Hi Ghamnaz,
- hello Noureddin. How are you? -Hello.
I can smell the wood oven! You've made bread.
- How are you? -Thank God. How about you?
- Good. And you uncle? -How are you?
- You didn't come to Tehran! -Hello bride.
Hamid, what did you do to your traditional clothes?
Lose them?
Why didn't you get a crew-cut?
Here, take some silverware townie!
You're an uncle now.
Behave yourself!
What're they saying? Tell me?
Behave yourselves. We have a guest.
- Drink daughter. -Thank you.
This is for Abdol-Sattar. Will you give it to him?
- Thank you. -You don't deserve it!
- This is for Abdol-Vahed. - Keep the wrapping paper.
This is for you Ghamnaz. I looked all over for it.
- Thank you. -This is for you uncle.
It's praying beads, good for everything.
For your health, kidneys, liver, everything.
- Yes. Thank you very much. -You're welcome.
Thanks so much.
It's beautiful mom. Thank you.
Try it on and if it doesn't fit I will exchange it.
This is for Abdol-Majid.
Excuse me, this one's for Abdol-Majid.
Hopefully he'll repent and come back. And this is for Abdol-Ghafoor.
He's not here.
Uncle! Uncle!
They've brought Abdol-Ghafoor in handcuffs!
What's going on?
Why won't you answer?
- Abdol-Ghafoor what have you done? - What's going on?
- I'll tell you. - Why've you arrested him? - I'll tell you. -What's he done?
What the hell have you done?
Calm down.
You won't let me live in peace with my family!
- Calm down! -I've had it with you all!
- You were supposed to inform us. - Do you have a warrant to come in?
- Did you forget our deal? -What's he done?
- Stockpiled money and weapons. - What money? What weapons?
Where is it?
There and there.
It's okay.
Move over.
Higher, higher...
Lower it.
That's good. Slower, slower.
Don't cry sweetheart.
Faezeh dear?
Faezeh?
- Faezeh dear? -Let's leave right now!
- Right now! - I swear I didn't know anything.
- Please don't say anything to your family. - Who are these people?
- Why are all these weapons in your house? - Calm down!
- What's your family into? - For the sake of the child.
What I've done to deserve this!
You haven't done anything! You don't deserve to be hurt by my family.
It's my brother who's hidden all these weapons in his yard!
- It has nothing to do with us! - I don't know what'll happen!
I'm worried!
Abdol-Majid called.
He didn't say anything. He didn't say where he was.
- Why didn't you tell the agents? - It was 18 months ago! What could I say?
- You were supposed to inform them. - To get myself in trouble?
I didn't know anything.
I'm not a rat. I can't sellout my own brother.
- So what did he say? - Just asked how you were?
He asked me to send the family to Pakistan.
What did you tell him?
I didn't agree. I said he was only trouble.
But now with the situation here, I think I have to send them.
What about us?
Sooner or later they'll come after us.
What's it got to do with us? Our life's got nothing to do with Abdol-Majid.
One of your brother's is dead,
the other ran off to Pakistan, and this one's been arrested for hiding weapons!
You can rest assured your brother's troubles will engulf us too!
What do you want me to do?
I don't know!
We need to leave Iran.
The agent said we have to get away from Abdol-Majid if we like our life.
Abdol-Hamid, they want you outside.
Bride, I told you not to come here.
I didn't want you to come here for the birth of the child.
I would've sent you your gift.
Don't come back if you like your life.
Do you have anything else to say?
I apologize. They're celebrating the new office.
- Congratulations. -Thanks.
We want to immigrate abroad...
- To Europe. -... to Europe.
We came here to use your expertise.
We know many people there, from Baluchistan and Pakistan.
Many of our relatives have gone to England.
My wife just mentioned they are doing well there...
Listen, it's different from Pakistan.
It's difficult, you need money, and it's unpredictable.
Do you know any English?
- No... a little bit. -That's bad.
England has the toughest asylum laws.
What if we apply from the UAE, from Dubai?
It's no different from Iran. It's still close by
and your family can show up.
Sir, we are different from the others.
One of his brothers has been killed, one has run away to Pakistan,
and the other is awaiting execution in prison.
We are in a dangerous situation.
We're not makin it up just to go abroad.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid for my family.
We want to go somewhere no one can reach us.
Which UN office do you want to apply from?
Pakistan.
Not Pakistan. You wanna go straight to your brothers?
- Then where? -No way.
I know people there. I don't know anyone in Europe.
Listen, given what you've told me
I think you should apply from Pakistan.
Want some yoghurt?
- Is that all you're eating. - Mom stop giving me a hard time.
- He wants to watch his figure. - What're you talking about?
A boy as tall as you needs to eat until his jaw goes stiff.
- You've got to eat like a hog. - Then I won't have a six-pack anymore.
- A what? -Six-pack.
You need an asset to make money.
It's not working out like this.
As soon as I start making some money and getting established, I've got to move.
I need to talk to my mom to give me my share of the house.
I'm going to Pakistan to see if my uncle will allow it or not.
How was that? I brought up the subject.
My mom's very smart.
I didn't want to lie to her. I had to do it.
What excuse could I give for going to Pakistan?
- We've got to change our SIM cards. - What for?
It might be hacked.
If they learn we're leaving Iran or going to Pakistan we may get into trouble.
She won't believe you're going to Pakistan for your uncle's permission.
I'm worried about you crossing the border!
It's dangerous! I'm nervous!
- I was born on the border! -Stop joking!
Do you want me to stay? I'll do whatever you say.
Leave that and come here.
Do you know how difficult it is for me to part from you?
- We've been together since our wedding. - How long will it take?
- How long will you have to stay? - I don't know.
But it'll be easier for me in Pakistan.
The worst thing is that Majid is there.
I'm scared. What if it turns out bad for us?
Don't worry about Abdol-Majid. And don't worry about me.
We'll get away from them and go to Europe.
Smile for me and let me look at you.
Give me a smile.
Smile.
Where do you belong?
No, show me, where do you belong?
Faezeh can't we do something so I can come with you?
You're not going anywhere! No where! You have to stay with mom. Hear me?
Put it out of your head.
Are you planning on killing her?
I have to go for certain reasons.
I know why and you don't need to know.
I have to take my husband and son and leave this continent.
The continent?
Hello? Hamid? How are you?
- What? -I talked to a lawyer.
He says you need to be here to make things work.
Stop that Hamid! That wasn't our plan.
You said you knew someone and could get it done.
You have to come to the UN office in Pakistan.
I wrote in the forms that we escaped together from Iran.
They wouldn't believe me if I hadn't.
The agent asked where you were and I said you were home with the child.
He says you have to come for an interview.
- Listen Faezeh... -Hamid I can't!
- I can't get mom to approve. - I'll deal with her.
I'll make arrangements at the border to safely cross you over.
I'm scared to come.
- Pack up! Let's go! Let's go! - Wait a second.
- They're terrifying me! - Mom, wait a second.
I'm going!
- I'm not listening to this stuff! - Mom you don't need to burst a pipe!
- Mom, what're you doing? - Why're you so against it.
Let them try and go, maybe I can go with them to study...
- Stop talking! - Maybe we'll come back and take you!
I went through hell to raise you!
We want to leave for the future of our child.
Maybe things will be better over there.
Who knows if we'll even get refugee status?
- So you planned to trick me with Hamid? - What trick?
Where're you going? The concrete factory?
Went to Pakistan to get his uncle's approval!
None of my friends who left have regretted it.
I said my daughter had to stay nearby!
- I said you'd stay in Tehran! -Yes you did.
- And now this? -It was my suggestion.
- Nicely done! -Mom!
- I won't forgive you if you go! -Mom!
We've made up our minds.
You lied to me.
- You have to get her consent. - She doesn't know about Hamid's brothers.
She'll raise hell and get your divorce if she finds out!
She shouldn't find out. If she does, she'll never forgive Hamid.
- Mom has to deal with it. -How?
- You've got to go. -I say you shouldn't go.
- Listen to me for once. -I want to go.
- I'm worried like this. - There's only one way.
Call her from Pakistan and say you're there.
She'll never forgive me! I'm too scared to go...
- I'll come with you. -I can't.
This way mom will be less worried too. What do you think?
- It makes sense. -You can't come.
- What'll my husband think? - Listen to her! She doesn't want me there.
He's not gonna stay there.
I'll hand you over to your husband and come back.
It's Pakistan, it's not like you're going to Paris!
Pakistan, Quetta, 2005
Look at that! You're only one and travelling abroad!
Welcome!
Come in Faezeh.
If this is Pakistan, imagine what Canada's like!
Look at this house!
- It's like Amir Khan's in “Heart”. - It's big isn't it?
- Yeah. -Not like the beehives in Tehran.
It's cool.
Give that to me.
That's the kitchen.
It's a bit messy.
Why did you get a place so big?
- We're not staying long. - It belongs to a relative.
They left Pakistan and said we could stay here.
And this is our place.
Looks like a sports stadium!
They knew we wouldn't stay long so it's not fully furnished.
Shahaab come here.
- There's a small bed in here for you... - I'll sleep in front of the TV.
- Noureddin's praying. I'll show you later. - You've got a VCR...
- You can't. -... and a hookah pipe too!
You've got to go in there at night. We don't have a bedroom.
The rooms are locked.
They've built a wall and my brothers are downstairs.
- It's got plenty of space. - Your brothers? You mean Majid?
- No Abdol-Vahed and the others. - Why did you grow a beard?
For the sorrow of being away from you. You don't like it?
No.
Oh no! Give me your phone. I've got to call mom!
- Have you got any Bollywood films here? - Don't touch those. They're not mine.
It's personal films?
How does this work?
Pull up its antenna.
I've got a child, a husband. I've got to think about my own life.
Stop screaming! Please stop mom.
It would be nice if younger folks listened to their elders.
Ghamnaz!
What're you doing here?
You're so covered up! Did you all come here?
Why didn't Hamid say anything?
Why didn't you listen to me? I told you not to come here.
I didn't know you were in Pakistan.
I called several times but you didn't answer.
- Have you moved here for good? - I don't know.
My sons brought me here. I don't know if we'll stay or go.
Hi mom.
- How are you? Where were you? - I went to visit the sick.
Why didn't you tell me your family was here?
I didn't think it was important.
Of course it makes a difference! I wouldn't try so hard to come here.
I've been through so much for you!
You can't give it all up so easily. Let's go out.
Come have some tea when you're done.
I didn't meet this brother. What happened to him?
He was martyred in Afghanistan, fighting the Americans.
They said we've got to wait. But how long?
- I wish they'd tell us. - We don't have a choice.
But it'll be great if we can go to England. We've got family there.
What's this smell? I'm going to get sick!
They're cooking Beryooni. You used to like it.
I'll go back to Iran in a day or two.
I've imposed on you enough. I've been here a month!
You're like a brother it's not an imposition.
Thanks.
If you stay we may be able to immigrate together.
No, he's got to go. Mom is alone. Don't even mention it!
Moussa is with your mom.
And if he goes back he'll have to go do his military service.
This is a small town. He'll get bored soon.
He can go to Karachi. I've got a friend there.
He sells cosmetics and is doing well.
He can go work there until our paperwork comes through.
- Cool! High five! -High five!
- Bro! -Don't do this.
- I've got to tell mom first. - Tell mom what? What's she gonna say?
- She wants my progress doesn't she? - Progress?
Yes progress!
Anil Kapoor was a doorman, Raj Kapoor was a guard,
Jim Carrey was a construction worker...
- Shahrokh Khan? - ... no, Shahrokh Khan was a rich kid...
- Really? -Yes, I've done the research.
Help him.
Empty the cars.
Abdol-Sattar, hurry, come here
What're you doing? Come here!
- Saeed's sleeping. - Why've you locked the doors?
I didn't want anyone to walk in.
Don't worry. My brothers won't just walk in.
They know we're here.
You look pretty.
You looked like a pearl before, but now you're like the full moon.
Let me go wash up.
- What news of the UN? -Nothing.
Don't go outside looking like that.
Not for anything.
I can't bear being apart.
God has given both life and death, it gets decided on the battlefield brothers.
All those who speak of other gods, of dissent,
of blasphemy,
will not be able to withstand Allah...
Come here! Come here!
Do you know what your sons are doing?
You know and you keep silent?
Look at this! Look!
They killed two soldiers just like that!
You can't change anything.
I couldn't. You can't either.
A woman's words are worthless, whether a mother or a wife.
- This was my fate. - Why didn't you warn me?
Why didn't you tell me not to come into this hell?
I thought his brothers were into drugs!
I had no idea it was this stuff...
I don't have a phone! They didn't give me one.
I told you not to come. What else could I say?
Please, tell me. Is Hamid like Abdol-Majid too?
Whose house is this? Abdol-Majid's?
It's Abdol-Majid's house, but he never comes here.
He has his own house.
He's changed. He's become wild.
At first he studied religion. Then he joined Al-Qaeda.
He knew the border and smuggled Al-Qaeda forces into Iraq.
They gave him money and he bought guns.
The Iranian government found out so he escaped here.
Now he's somebody for himself.
He's separated from Al-Qaeda.
They call him Malek. Abdol-Malek.
Even God can't stand up to him now.
Hamid wasn't like this.
He was different from his brothers. He's still different.
Noureddin thinks Abdol-Majid's a drug smuggler.
I'm afraid to tell him.
Take your child and go away.
Who knows how Abdol-Hamid will turn out?
Abdol-Majid does everything for him, and makes him indebted.
I've buried three sons so far,
and one's in prison.
With what Abdol-Majid's doing, I'll lose the rest of them too.
The most innocent of them died in front of my eyes.
There's nothing worst in the world than knowing your children are in the wrong.
I've become disgraced in the tribe.
You're their mother. You brought them into the world...
I am God's helpless creature.
Al-Qaeda believes a woman is less than the dirt you walk on.
Abdol-Majid and his brothers have been brainwashed.
They believe in these things.
They believe they are soldiers of God.
It means they have to sacrifice their mothers, fathers, wives and children.
They have violated Islam.
They think everyone is wrong except for them.
They believe it's a good deed if they kill others.
There is unemployment and poverty here.
The young are unemployed. They have nothing to eat.
So they turn to smuggling drugs.
But no one asks why they turn to drugs,
or why they become fanatics...
They put a bullet in the soldiers' brains.
- They killed them... - You and I don't understand these things.
- You have to go back to Iran. - We're trying to get paperwork to leave...
Who knows when that will happen, and what'll happen to Abdol-Hamid by then.
I will arrange everything. Don't say a word until I tell you.
And don't call anyone. They've bugged the phones.
Faezeh dear, get my towel.
There're two babies on the way.
Congratulations.
Congratulations dear! You're having twins!
It'll make our immigration more difficult.
No, it'll make things better. It'll make it easier.
This is for you.
A lady who makes beautiful babies should wear a gold watch.
- Where did you get the money? - This place is a family hangout.
We know the owner.
Do you believe I used to work here? Before selling cosmetics...
Where did you get the money for the watch?
My brothers owed me some money and gave some of it back.
They'll give the rest before we go.
- Hello? -Faezeh, hi.
Hi mom. How are you? How's Moussa?
- Give her my regards. -Hamid says hello.
What's wrong sweetheart? Are you unwell?
No, I'm okay. Hamid's brought me to a restaurant.
Saeed's fine, he's with Ghamnaz.
The news keeps showing bombings and killings in Sistan and Baluchistan.
They say it's Abdol-Malek Rigi.
Moussa said he might be Hamid's relative. Is that true?
- Their last name is Rigi too. - I don't know mom.
The Rigi's are a big tribe in Baluchistan. And they're all nice people.
You can't blame them all for one bad apple.
Hamid is careful.
He's against Abdol-Malek. All the Rigis are against him too.
Don't worry.
- Hamid's family is very nice to me. - I'm worried honey.
It's okay mom. Hamid is careful.
He'll take care of us. He's very excited that I'm pregnant.
Send Shahaab back.
I keep telling him but he won't listen. He says he's making good money.
- Okay sweetheart, I'll call later. - Okay, bye.
- Did you hear what she said? - How could I hear?
Is Abdol-Malek Rigi your brother?
Is it Majid?
Say something! I'm scared.
I never imagined your brother would be a member of Al-Qaeda!
Did my mom tell you?
Hamid are you involved with him?
- What if he comes after you? - He's not Al-Qaeda!
He's his own man. Everyone here respects him.
All I care about is leaving.
You're holding my leash thank God!
We'll go live in peace in a corner of the world.
Can you arrange things so I could go back to Iran soon?
What?
Are you threatening me?
I just want to eat my damn lunch!
My brothers are behind that wall. You don't need to go there.
That's your room. I'll show you.
- Hi. -Hello.
- How are you mom? -Good.
Hi Faezeh.
I've brought help. Her name's Asil.
She'll come in the mornings until 5.
That's good with my aching leg, she can help take care of the place.
She can't talk. She's a mute.
Are you okay Faezeh?
This is my mom. She'll tell you what to do.
I'm going to Karachi tomorrow. I'm taking a letter to the UN office there.
I may check up on Shahaab too.
- Give that. -Hello.
Thank you.
- When are you leaving? - When Behrouz tells me.
- I'll buy some cigarettes. -Stay here.
Don't get out, even if Saeed cries.
- I'll go get you some snacks. -Thank you.
Let's call your uncle.
Abdol-Majid what are you doing?
Stop! Wait!
Get out!
Let her go!
Hamid!
Open the door!
Ghamnaz! Open the door! Why have you locked me in?
Hamid, open up!
Open the door!
Open it!
Open it!
Open it!
Faezeh! Are you okay?
Son, take your wife and leave.
Don't destroy yourself. Don't follow Malek.
He's insane. He's a murderer.
He thinks he's doing the right thing, but he's killed innocent people.
Don't you believe in Mowlana Abdol-Hamid?
God says he will let you in heaven for your deeds.
If you commit murder, you will not get in...
- You've been like a father to me, -Listen to me!
But you wanted to take my wife away from me. I won't forgive you.
Thank God.
- What happened? -It's because of stress.
It's dangerous for her and the babies.
She shouldn't get stressed.
She's okay now. Nothing to worry about.
Bye.
Mom, take Saeed.
- Are you better? -How is Noureddin?
- They shot him in the leg! - Don't worry about him.
- It's just a scar. - Why do you lock the door?
- Because my wife's trying to run away. - Don't you wonder why I want to run away?
I don't know.
I've provided everything for you. I don't know why you want to run away.
- What have I done to you? - I don't want this comfort!
I just want a quiet life. Without any hassles.
- To raise our children. -What hassles?
I've agreed to everything you've wanted!
You wanted to leave Iran, and I agreed.
Let's go back to Iran. I'm not your plaything!
We've gone this far...
Tell me why you wanted to run away and take my children from me?
- Abdol-Malek knew you better than I did. - Malek!
- He told me not to trust you. - If he knew anything
he wouldn't kill people! He wouldn't murder his own countrymen!
- He wants to defend the Baluchis. - Defend the Baluchis?
Isn't your uncle a Baluch? And all those people who've been killed?
And you repeating his words!
The Baluch are kind, don't you remember how they treated us on our honeymoon?
They had one lamb and wanted to cook it for us.
They honor their guests.
- They don't murder people in God's house. - You wanted to steal my children!
To rob me of what I love!
Why didn't you ask yourself why I wanted to get away from this hell!
- Hell? -Why your mother took my side!
- Have you asked yourself that? - Is this a hell to you?
Someone who kills innocent people can also kill me and my children!
Malek didn't kill anyone. They were all infidels.
How can you say such a thing?
My brother Malek. Just see how many followers he has.
You're inciting me against my brother.
You think you can do that just because I love you?
Malek has proof in the Quran for everything he says.
He has studied religion.
He was in Al-Qaeda and studied Islam. He didn't just recite the Quran.
Listen, I'm not part of Malek's group.
I don't have the guts for it.
I wish I had a bit of his courage, or was as strong as him.
But I'm thankful just for a gulp of water.
All I do is for the sake of our children.
I'm selfish enough to think of myself.
It's best if I go live with you abroad. I know myself.
Try to be good.
Don't cry. Look at me.
Look at me. See what you've done to yourself.
But your eyes are even more beautiful when you cry.
Cry for me.
A bit more.
More.
Now get ready, let's go out to lunch.
Don't get upset but I don't have an appetite.
You have to eat.
Think of the babies in your belly.
Eat, it's good.
Put some of this one it. You like it.
Put some of this on. Maybe you'll eat then.
Can't we apply for refugee status from Turkey instead of Pakistan?
For the love of God, let's eat in peace!
Eat.
Take a bite.
You've brought the prisoner for a break?
- She was trying to run away! - She wasn't running away...
- What if she's an enemy agent? - My wife is totally honest with me.
Did you know Iranian Intelligence has been to see them?
After your wedding?
They came to see me. You were already in Pakistan.
- Don't you believe me? - So why was she trying to run away?
She's been home the entire time.
Think about what you're saying. Noureddin planned it.
Our mom put it in her head, encouraging her to run away.
Why doesn't our mother run away herself?
It's not Faezeh's fault. Are you insane?
Enemy agent!
She was stupid, but forgiveness is a virtue.
- Mowlana Abdol-Hamid says... - His path is separate from ours.
We follow our own path, do you understand?
This is not the place to talk.
We'll meet and I'll make you understand.
Hamid!
Hamid!
Ghamnaz!
Asil!
Hello?
- Hamid? Where are you? - Is that you Faezeh?
Saeed isn't here! I woke up and saw he was gone!
- Where are you calling from? -Downstairs.
- Why are you there? -I looked everywhere!
My son's missing. He's disappeared!
Don't worry. He's with me.
You were sleeping so I didn't wake you. He's with me.
He should be around men a while.
And you'll be able to rest. We don't want him to get spoilt.
Faezeh, don't worry, he's safe.
Yesterday a 15-year-old suicide-bomber did an operation in Zahedan.
Ghamnaz!
I am responsible for the blood that is shed.
It is not a joke. You can see the film.
I put it by the TV
Take a look and see how his friends sent him away with joy,
so he could join the Prophet in heaven.
- But I don't have the courage. -Asil!
I'll keep my word and build a comfortable life for you.
But I don't deserve this comfort.
More and more I believe what Majid says is true.
I don't have the courage for Jihad, but I shouldn't be against it either.
How will I answer the martyrs in the afterlife?
Where's Ghamnaz? Where's my mother-in-law?
Talk to me!
Where is Ghamnaz? Where is Noureddin?
Talk! Are you pretending to be mute?
Are you one of them?
Are you?
Are you?
Approaching the area 30 minutes before the operation.
Preparing for the greatest attack by Jundallah, led by Abdol-Malek...
Jihad, war, and killing God's enemies are a necessity.
We have to fight old and new infidels. Islam is a religion of war, not peace.
Those who want to combine Islam with liberalism,
democracy, and peace, are infidels,
it is our obligation to kill them.
The war with infidels is between good and bad. The world is with us or against us.
A world of infidels or Islam.
Those who pretend to be believers, but sit at a table with infidels,
it doesn't matter if they are Fars or Baluch,
they are all infidels at the tip of our swords.
Ask God to accept every bullet you fire.
Brother, don't allow fear to get into you.
Let's praise Allah and begin our work.
Get down! Get down! Hurry!
- Women to the right! - Women and children on this side!
Hurry!
Hurry!
You used to sell CDs on street corners!
I don't need to answer you.
You are not one of us! You are not a Baluch!
- I am defending the Baluch. - You are defending us with a gun?
Shut up.
I won't do anything to the women.
- Do you love your country? - We are defenders of the country.
You are an infidel!
Get down!
Hurry!
Down! Down!
- I said get down! -Get down!
Tie him! This one too!
- What do you do? -I'm a student.
- What do you study? -I'm a student.
But you're as old as my dad!
- Where is your father? -My father is dead.
Why are you going to Zahedan?
What's your name? What do you do?
I'm a worker.
I want some meat.
My phone is out of charge. Can I call?
Hello? Shahaab?
I don't have time. I've sneaked out to call you.
I'm locked up in the house! I'm a prisoner!
They've taken Saeed from me...
They are dangerous people. Hamid has joined them too.
They've taken Saeed from me because they know I can't leave without him.
Don't do that! They've got many supporters.
Don't tell anything to your boss! Get back to Iran however you can.
They're very dangerous.
They have weapons. They smuggle and have money.
I'm trapped because they have my son. Just save yourself.
If you see mom and Moussa, tell them to pray for me.
Help!
Help!
- Get him out. -Hurry!
Walk!
- Bring him here! -You've made a mistake!
I swear you've made a mistake! Listen to me!
Why've you tied up my relative? Untie him.
I'm Abdol-Majid. Your sister's brother-in-law.
Get him some water.
How's work? How's Karachi?
Getting paid well?
They didn't know we're family.
If you want I can punish them.
- No. -Believe me.
They didn't do anything.
I miss Saeed.
I've bought him a ton of toys.
All guns. Military stuff.
He has to practice, get used to guns.
- Do you want anything? -A cigarette.
- They emptied my pockets. -Who?
Who took his cigarettes?
- Give them back. -It was him.
Here.
- Did I take them by force? -Yes.
Thanks.
I don't want any.
I know you said you'd kill us because you were upset about your sister.
You wouldn't kill your sister's husband, making her children orphans.
I know it's not like that.
The entire world knows me now.
Everyone wants to meet me.
Why?
Because they believe in what I do. They believe in me.
As you can see, when your sister called and you planned to kill us...
- No. -... but we found out.
I swear. My sister called and was crying.
- I got upset when I heard her voice. - Shahaab, Hamid and I like you.
You're family.
We think you can turn into a true fighter for God.
We're all Muslims and must fight our true enemies.
You're not a prisoner.
I told them to bring you here so we could talk.
I want to tell you we're not dangerous.
We only obey God's rules.
You wanted to go to the Consulate?
We control everything here. I can even send you to Germany.
I have people. I'll do it for you.
- My sister and her children? - With her children,
and her husband Abdol-Hamid.
He insists on going and living among infidels.
Let him go, I don't care.
I believe you can be a fighter for God.
But if you want to leave, that's okay.
I'll send you.
You just have to do one thing for me.
Five people were martyred, and 120 injured.
I had to collect two brothers, 15 and 17-years-old...
- Where's this cream from? -I don't know?
- Does it clump on the face? - Not if you apply some moisturizer first.
Their operations will destroy Baluchistan.
- How much for the lipstick? -Which one?
- 1,500. -It's expensive.
It's the last of Hamid's supplies.
Some people have been martyred...
- How much for the nail polish? -Which one?
550.
Hello?
Hello?
- Can you speak a bit louder? -How are you?
- You don't know me? -You are?
I'm Abdol-Majid, Hamid's brother.
How are you? How come you've called me?
Any news of Faezeh? She won't pick up when I call.
I'm very busy and haven't seen Faezeh.
- But I have news of Shahaab. He's fine. - Thank God.
Neither Faezeh nor Shahaab answer their phones.
They're probably so happy they've forgotten all about their mother.
Shahaab is fine and says hi. He'll be on TV tonight at 8.
- On channel Al-Arabiah. -What?
Watch Al-Arabiah tonight, they'll be showing Shahaab.
Has he acted in a film?
Hello?
Majid?
I will say these things so my sister can go back to Iran.
You promised me. I'll feel better when she returns.
You can send me afterwards.
- And you'll send Saeed with her? - Rest assured. What I say goes.
Thank you.
Tell him to connect the satellite. Let's see what they'll show.
I'll keep Ghodrat's wife and kids.
His sister? It'll by five of them, and four more.
That's okay. I'll make a stew.
If I say something wrong, stop and I'll do it again.
If I wasn't good, I'll go like this and we can do a retake.
We can do as many retakes as you want.
You're ready.
One …
Two, Three, go.
In the name of God...
You should've waited before serving the food.
We could watch the news first.
I didn't want the rice to get cold.
- Go ahead and eat. - We could've had dinner 20 minutes later.
- I've already served. Please eat. - How come Shahaab's going to be on TV?
- Is he an actor now? - I don't know. He said it's an interview.
- Hopefully it's good news. - Hurry, it's starting.
I'm coming.
Take this.
It's starting.
I, Shahaab Mansouri, and my sister Faezeh Mansouri, live in Pakistan.
We are spies. Our intention was to spy on Jundallah for the Iranian government.
What's going on?
We came here to kill this group's fighters.
But thankfully we were captured.
- I repent and ask God's forgiveness. - What's going on?
Oh lord! Oh God!
- It's my son! It's Shahaab! -Oh God!
Oh God!
My son!
My son! Stop!
Stop!
Hello.
Where is he?
God save us.
What've you done? Why did you kill him?
How can I look at Faezeh now?
- You've committed a sin. You're cruel! - What did you expect me to do?
The Baluch are good people. They are honest.
You are evil! You're not one of us!
You took it out on him.
He wanted to come to Europe with us. He didn't think this would happen to him.
You hated that family form the start.
They gave me their daughter.
- That confession was your excuse? - Why do you keep defending them?
I've made you my second-in-command.
You're my replacement.
You want proof? Shahaab had said he'd kill us.
He said he'll rat us out. I saved your life.
Do you still need a reason?
The hell with him, the bastard! I'll kill him.
I swear I'll kill him. Just wait and see.
Listen to me! What did we ever do to them?
Was there an Abdol-Malek among his brothers?
Run away. Don't stay there a minute longer.
Don't worry. Don't worry sweetheart. I'll take care of everything.
- I'll go to the consulate. - Don't! They have many supporters...
Hello.
Hi.
Hello.
Sweetheart!
I missed you!
My love!
You're giving me the cold shoulder?
It's me, the one you used to love.
You used to make me cards. Remember?
Faezeh?
I love my life, I love my wife, my children.
- I'm not cut out for Jihad. -Stop lying!
I saw you in the film. You were absorbed by Malek's words.
I saw with my own eyes.
I didn't do anything. I swear. I didn't kill anyone.
I just went because Malek asked me.
- It doesn't make a difference. - He ordered me to go.
Ordered you? What's that mean?
- Who does he think he is? - He is the Amir. Everyone calls him Amir.
- You participated in the slaughter... - No I didn't. I swear.
I didn't do anything. I didn't kill anyone.
I don't understand Malek's God.
We have grown distant from each other.
You have grown distant from me, from your life, from Islam, from humanity.
- I am ashamed to love you anymore... - Please don't say that!
Let me call my mom and hear her voice.
Don't worry them.
Don't leave me alone with these guards.
Let me leave. Let me go back to Iran.
I don't know how these babies will turn out with what I've been through!
Or just kill me and get it over with.
Prove to your brother that you're no less than him.
Some of my brother's guys have American residency.
I've talked to them.
They're going to help us go to America.
- We'll go away and live in peace. - You talk like a child.
I won't be happy even in heaven.
If you really love me come back to Iran with me.
Let's go before your spill any more innocent blood.
I'll be executed in Iran,
with the things Abdol-Malek has done,
I can't stand this anymore!
4 months later
We can get here. Is it good?
They have to be careful...
Be careful.
Yes?
I sent three teams of two to Iran yesterday,
they were arrested by Iranian Intelligence.
- Really? Will they give them information? - No they won't.
Most are only working with us for money.
- I use them as smugglers. - They don't believe...
- I think we have an informer. - Why're you telling me?
Maybe you think it's me?
Are you pointing at her now? She's been locked in the house.
How can she give you away?
You killed her brother and now it's her turn?
She's about to give birth!
I haven't let her find out about Shahaab or she'd die of grief.
I won't kill her. You will.
It's an order.
We've been ambushed! It's an ambush!
Go!
Bastard!
Go!
Don't let the government forces in!
Abdol-Vahed hurry!
Hurry!
Go!
Bastards!
Infidels!
Abdol-Vahed!
No!
You killed him!
Jihad is for the obliteration of governments that don't follow God's laws.
Every government outside Islam is infidel,
and its only path to salvation is Jihad.
Muslims must never give up on Jihad.
Friends sometimes ask, why I violate, hang, decapitate.
The answer is we do all this to draw greater numbers of enemies to the field.
With more enemies we can kill more people.
This will please God and anger the infidels.
The ignorance now is greater than it was before Islam.
The world is filled with corruption.
The world is filled with sin.
People commit sins without fear of God.
We can either have a world of sin or a world of Islam.
They cannot go side by side. They are in complete disagreement.
Muslims must fight infidelity with all their might.
They must fight with their beliefs.
Without purity, God will abandon us.
And if God abandons us victory will be difficult.
Don't be afraid of martyrdom.
Don't be afraid of death.
It is the moment when you will join God and the Prophet.
I have lost three brothers on this path.
The last one, my youngest brother Abdol-Vahed, was martyred yesterday.
You left our brother behind?
Don't say anything to Ghamnaz.
She shouldn't find out.
What did you do to Noureddin?
What does one do with an insubordinate?
I didn't want to see him.
Blood is being shed every day and we're still asleep.
Abdol-Hamid, three people want to meet me in Morocco.
No one knows I am going there.
I have told everyone that you are in charge.
You are the commander.
I don't have any other brother that I trust.
After your children are born you won't have an excuse for not killing their mother.
Is Saeed homesick?
- No, he's not like you. - I've made up my mind.
I'll send Faezeh to Iran. She's the mother of my three children.
I will forgive her.
She has information about us.
Once she gets to Iran we have to wait to die at our home.
Your wife knows you took part in my missions.
Just imagine if she finds out we killed Shahaab.
She will want to kill you, to destroy you.
Trust your Amir. I only want your good.
Yes?
What?
When did they take her?
They've taken my wife to the hospital.
No.
I'll leave now. Bye.
You can't go anywhere today and tomorrow.
We have lots to do. Send Ghamnaz to be with your wife.
Bring our mother back soon so she doesn't do anything.
Assign some men to guard the hospital.
Ghamnaz!
I'm glad to see you.
- There's no one else I can trust. - It's okay.
Everything will be okay.
The babies are two months premature.
But they're okay. They are in the incubator.
What news do you have? Where did they take you and Noureddin?
How is my son?
Noureddin's disappeared. They took him away.
But don't worry about it. Think about yourself.
They haven't allowed me to call anyone for months.
I couldn't. They took away my phone,
and my TV.
Can you give me my phone so I can call my mom?
- To let her know how I am. - I don't have a phone. They took mine too.
- Someone is waiting for you in the lobby. - I'll be right there.
Please don't go! Can't you stay?
No.
I've been here since last night. They're afraid to leave me with you.
Why do you care about me so much?
I never did anything for you.
You stood up to your son for me.
What's wrong is wrong.
It doesn't matter if it's your son or a stranger.
I feel shame toward you.
I didn't do anything for you.
You were a guest but I didn't take care of you well.
I was a prisoner myself.
You're the only reason I haven't tried to runaway from here.
Yes?
Hi.
At dawn?
The children are in incubators?
I'll come, tomorrow.
You have to change your room.
Get up on this.
- Where are you taking me? - We'll talk outside.
I've seen you before.
We have to get out first. Then we'll explain everything.
Don't show any reaction. There are cameras.
- What about my children? - They have to stay in the hospital.
I don't understand. You're not bringing my children?
- You won't bring my children? -No.
Malek is going to kill you. We've risked our lived to save you.
- My children? Sir? - They won't do anything to your children.
Please be quiet, we'll talk when we get out of here.
It was you in the bazaar that day?
- We've been after them all this time. - You're lying!
Then why haven't you captured them?
Abdol-Malek was at the pizza place you went.
- So why didn't you do anything? - I had him in view.
I don't believe it! Why didn't you do anything?
His brain would've splattered all over his son.
Why didn't you tell me at Ghamnaz's house?
- I wouldn't be here now if you'd told me! - I didn't have permission.
I don't want to leave my children.
Be quiet!
Let me go!
My children!
- They'll turn my children into Bin Laden! - Come when I tell you!
- Let's go. Come! -Take her behind the wall!
- Let me go! - This is your last chance. Trust me!
Let me go!
They won't do anything to your kids. But they'll kill you.
- Get up! Get up! -Let me go!
- You're not coming? -She won't come.
Leave her.
I didn't want to tell you,
but they've killed Shahaab and will kill you too.
Faezeh?
Faezeh?
The Iranian terrorist was identified from the hospital cameras.
I finally got them after 20 days.
His name is Ghodratollah Khoda-Sefat. A fake name.
He's a sharpshooter. He was captured in the war, and they cut off his trigger finger.
He entered Pakistan with an Afghan passport.
The government of Afghanistan says it is fake.
Look son.
Look.
Take it.
Watch and learn.
Faezeh didn't accompany the Iranian terrorists.
She stayed because she wants to take revenge.
She doesn't know anything about Shahaab's death.
We'll all die when she finds out. Me, you, Ghamnaz.
She is very dangerous.
I know she stayed behind for her children.
You are naïve and will pay the price.
She will finally kill you.
I hope you have finally accepted me.
Obey your Amir's orders.
This is your obligation.
Are you worried about your children losing their mother?
A true fighter has to sacrifice everything, his wife, children, belongings, everything.
God will provide you with the best women in heaven.
Faezeh is an infidel. You have married an infidel.
The enemy will inform on us all. Don't doubt this.
Her brother confessed.
I can take revenge on Faezeh, but I want you to have the blessing.
You deserve it.
A true fighter should overcome his emotions.
You have to begin Jihad on those closest to you.
I don't want to call you an outsider.
Today we will have a ceremony for you.
Stop that!
I don't want my second-in-command to show weakness.
I want to be alone with Faezeh tonight.
Watch the children for a few hours.
I've bought her a necklace.
Pearls.
For the twins she's given me. Let's see if she'll forgive me.
Abdol-Hamid I won't forgive you.
- She is innocent. - What're you talking about? Stop it.
Abdol-Majid has left our religion. Don't listen to him.
You are older, better, wiser. Don't be fooled by him.
He isn't the Amir of dust, let alone you and I.
Let me go.
I want to be alone with my wife.
She was pregnant, then she gave birth, and her 40 days are over now.
Can't you see she won't talk to me?
She's my wife. The mother of my children.
She's my life, my heart. I went through hell to get her.
Forget about Abdol-Majid. He can say what he wants.
I will send her to Iran.
I'm not crazy.
I'll let her go. Don't worry.
Why are you so pale?
My lady doesn't need this stuff.
But tonight that we're alone,
she can be prettier.
Not so pale.
Pretty and glowing.
Faezeh, I have always done the right things too late.
But I did emotional, thoughtless things very early in life.
See what I've bought you.
Do you like it?
Faezeh I hurt you very much.
Please forgive me.
But you know where you belong, don't you?
Where is it?
Show me.
Where is Shahaab?
Where is he?
Where is Shahaab?
- Where is he? -It wasn't my fault.
- Where is he? -It wasn't my fault.
- Where is he? -It wasn't my fault.
- Where is he? - I didn't do anything! I swear!
- Where is he? -Where is Shahaab?
- Where is he? -I didn't do anything!
- Shahaab! Shahaab! - I swear I didn't do anything!
- Shahaab! Shahaab! - I swear I didn't do anything!
- Shahaab! Shahaab! -Please stop that!
Please!
Where is my brother? Where is he?
Two months later Abdol-Malek expelled Abdol-Hamid from Jundallah. Abdol-Hamid
was arrested by Pakistani forces in May 2008, and handed to Iranian intelligence.
Abdol-Malek Rigi was arrested in Iran's air space
as he was flying from Dubai to Kyrgyzstan.
- Did Behrouz send you? -Yes.
