22
00:02:31,117 --> 00:02:34,870
You were moaning last night,
saying that his feet hurt.
23
00:02:35,516 --> 00:02:37,507
You couldn't sleep.
24
00:02:38,995 --> 00:02:42,191
Let me wash the gabbeh.
25
00:02:42,394 --> 00:02:44,749
Give me, I have boots
26
00:02:44,954 --> 00:02:47,547
Hand me the boots
27
00:02:47,753 --> 00:02:51,222
No, it is not necessary
28
00:02:51,432 --> 00:02:55,185
I will do it. You prepare the food.
I will wash the gabbeh.
29
00:02:55,391 --> 00:02:58,109
Leave it to me.
30
00:02:58,310 --> 00:03:01,347
No, you have sore feet.
31
00:03:01,549 --> 00:03:04,222
Give me the boots.
32
00:03:04,429 --> 00:03:06,623
No, I will not give them.
33
00:03:08,588 --> 00:03:11,977
Take care of the food.
I will take care of the gabbeh.
34
00:03:12,187 --> 00:03:15,144
I'm not a maid!
35
00:03:32,782 --> 00:03:35,215
Are you going to let me wash it or not?
36
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:41,135
Sweetheart, precious little one,
37
00:03:41,859 --> 00:03:45,009
If you don't wash it, who will?
38
00:03:46,738 --> 00:03:50,013
My precious gabbeh,
dear gabbeh,
39
00:03:50,657 --> 00:03:52,647
How beautiful you are!
40
00:03:53,056 --> 00:03:55,854
Why did you turn blue?
41
00:03:56,256 --> 00:03:59,292
Who is the knight
What's with this girl?
42
00:03:59,495 --> 00:04:01,962
Tell me who wove you.
43
00:04:04,773 --> 00:04:08,083
You are like the full moon!
44
00:04:22,209 --> 00:04:24,119
What is your name?
45
00:04:24,328 --> 00:04:25,807
Gabbeh
46
00:04:33,326 --> 00:04:35,203
The water is so crystal clear
47
00:04:37,605 --> 00:04:39,163
Won't you wash me?
48
00:04:39,405 --> 00:04:42,714
Of course we'll wash you.
49
00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:04,674
I can lean on yours
young shoulders?
50
00:05:05,358 --> 00:05:08,076
I no longer have strength
51
00:05:11,316 --> 00:05:13,147
Of course you can
52
00:05:19,314 --> 00:05:22,828
You look familiar.
What's your father's name?
53
00:05:23,273 --> 00:05:25,229
His name is Fio...
54
00:05:26,233 --> 00:05:28,621
Wool Thread. That's the name.
55
00:05:46,747 --> 00:05:48,021
There he is.
56
00:05:50,826 --> 00:05:52,623
We never stay long
in the same place.
57
00:05:52,826 --> 00:05:56,659
And if we stay, our parents
force us to leave it
58
00:05:56,985 --> 00:05:59,942
One day, I fell in love with a knight
59
00:06:00,184 --> 00:06:03,858
He had a peculiar voice,
as if he were an illusion.
60
00:06:04,063 --> 00:06:06,940
Followed my tribe like a shadow
to take me...
61
00:06:09,901 --> 00:06:14,416
If I were younger,
I could ask for your hand.
62
00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:16,696
I think your father
63
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:18,094
He is a kind man
64
00:06:18,299 --> 00:06:21,893
Appearances can be deceiving.
He has an unpleasant character.
65
00:06:22,298 --> 00:06:25,176
Let's leave your father.
Tell me about your mother?
66
00:06:25,378 --> 00:06:27,447
Is she kind and beautiful?
67
00:06:28,297 --> 00:06:31,527
No, our family says
that my father's bad character
68
00:06:31,736 --> 00:06:33,930
It's due to my mother's beauty.
69
00:06:34,215 --> 00:06:35,409
So is she
70
00:06:35,855 --> 00:06:38,812
It's called Sakineh.
71
00:06:39,734 --> 00:06:41,610
I'm your eldest daughter.
72
00:06:46,572 --> 00:06:49,847
Hand me the boots
let me wash the gabbeh.
73
00:06:50,051 --> 00:06:53,122
Your feet are sore.
They will be worse if they get wet.
74
00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:55,525
I will wash it.
75
00:06:56,850 --> 00:07:00,364
See how beautiful she is.
76
00:07:00,569 --> 00:07:02,877
I'm amazed.
77
00:07:04,807 --> 00:07:07,685
As long as he sees you,
forget about me.
78
00:07:08,686 --> 00:07:13,805
Madam Gabbeh,
She is jealous of herself.
79
00:07:21,283 --> 00:07:23,239
Girl, you are so beautiful,
80
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:25,194
Don't you have a suitor?
81
00:07:25,442 --> 00:07:27,592
You were my suitor
82
00:07:27,802 --> 00:07:30,031
When I was younger
83
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,514
What a fool I was!
84
00:07:40,998 --> 00:07:43,876
Look how it breaks my heart!
85
00:07:49,836 --> 00:07:51,792
Don't you have a suitor?
86
00:08:05,832 --> 00:08:08,789
Why does his voice sound like
like a wolf?
87
00:08:10,191 --> 00:08:12,340
It's a secret between him and me.
88
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:15,986
He says, "I can't take it.
Why don't you come?"
89
00:08:25,667 --> 00:08:27,497
Do you love him?
90
00:08:27,866 --> 00:08:30,300
Why don't you run away with him?
91
00:08:31,465 --> 00:08:34,218
Because of my father.
He would kill me.
92
00:08:34,785 --> 00:08:38,857
If I had killed,
I could be free.
93
00:08:48,781 --> 00:08:50,100
Call me. Can I go?
94
00:08:50,701 --> 00:08:53,692
Don't go, or your father will kill you.
95
00:08:54,180 --> 00:08:56,135
First talk to him about it.
96
00:08:56,419 --> 00:08:58,011
Grandma is sick.
97
00:08:58,219 --> 00:09:00,732
When uncle returns,
will take her to the doctor.
98
00:09:00,938 --> 00:09:05,886
Dad said I can only get married
when my uncle comes back from town.
99
00:09:06,297 --> 00:09:09,845
But my suitor is
getting impatient.
100
00:09:26,531 --> 00:09:28,647
-Once five?
-Five.
101
00:09:28,851 --> 00:09:30,806
-Twice five?
-Ten.
102
00:09:31,010 --> 00:09:32,887
-Three times five?
-Fifteen.
103
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:35,000
-Four times five?
-Twenty.
104
00:09:35,209 --> 00:09:37,245
-Five times five?
-Twenty-five.
105
00:09:37,449 --> 00:09:39,279
Stay seated.
106
00:09:39,528 --> 00:09:41,166
Get up.
107
00:09:42,447 --> 00:09:45,007
Can I?
108
00:09:47,166 --> 00:09:49,282
-What's your name?
-Mohsen Jahanpour.
109
00:09:49,486 --> 00:09:50,918
-And you?
-Tahmineh.
110
00:09:51,565 --> 00:09:53,283
What kind of school is this?
111
00:09:53,764 --> 00:09:55,959
-A street vendor.
Where does it come from?
112
00:09:56,204 --> 00:09:57,353
Go
113
00:10:15,599 --> 00:10:18,590
Well, well,
a school without a teacher...
114
00:10:18,798 --> 00:10:20,629
Allow me to take your place
115
00:10:38,993 --> 00:10:41,506
Now repeat after me:
116
00:10:41,712 --> 00:10:44,748
"R.A.N.G."
117
00:10:44,951 --> 00:10:46,350
What does this mean?
118
00:10:46,591 --> 00:10:47,865
Color.
119
00:10:48,071 --> 00:10:49,389
Bravo.
120
00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:51,467
Now tell me
121
00:10:52,429 --> 00:10:54,181
what color is that
122
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:55,868
Red.
123
00:10:58,508 --> 00:11:00,657
The red of a poppy.
124
00:11:01,987 --> 00:11:04,500
Now tell me what color that is.
125
00:11:05,546 --> 00:11:07,059
Yellow.
126
00:11:08,865 --> 00:11:12,459
The yellow of a wheat field.
127
00:11:12,824 --> 00:11:14,621
And that one?
128
00:11:15,864 --> 00:11:17,581
Blue.
129
00:11:19,143 --> 00:11:23,340
The blue of God's sky
130
00:11:24,421 --> 00:11:25,820
And that one?
131
00:11:27,461 --> 00:11:29,098
Blue.
132
00:11:32,299 --> 00:11:36,007
The blue reflection of the seas.
133
00:11:36,658 --> 00:11:38,569
And that one?
134
00:11:40,857 --> 00:11:42,256
Yellow.
135
00:11:44,696 --> 00:11:48,051
The yellow of the Sun that
illuminates the world.
136
00:11:48,775 --> 00:11:50,652
The yellow of the Sun
137
00:11:50,855 --> 00:11:53,493
and the blue of the water create
the green of the plants.
138
00:11:54,894 --> 00:11:56,292
Green
139
00:11:57,213 --> 00:11:59,123
Pure green.
140
00:12:00,932 --> 00:12:05,049
Yellow and red
together in the sun...
141
00:13:25,630 --> 00:13:28,508
Spring has arrived,
but my uncle hasn't yet.
142
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:32,099
In the spring, the whole tribe rose
camp, except our clan.
143
00:13:32,309 --> 00:13:35,300
My father was waiting
my uncle's return
144
00:13:35,508 --> 00:13:37,816
to take grandma to town.
145
00:13:38,027 --> 00:13:41,462
I was sick,
but I didn't want to die.
146
00:13:41,666 --> 00:13:44,134
I wanted to see my uncle first,
147
00:13:44,346 --> 00:13:47,576
but he arrived too late.
148
00:13:47,785 --> 00:13:49,297
Daddy
149
00:13:49,504 --> 00:13:54,179
buried grandma in a luxury cemetery.
150
00:14:01,741 --> 00:14:03,413
Hey, here!
151
00:14:25,135 --> 00:14:27,808
-Hello, Sakineh. How are you?
-Hello, sir
152
00:14:28,015 --> 00:14:29,845
Don't you recognize me?
153
00:14:31,854 --> 00:14:33,764
-No
-Don't you recognize me?
154
00:14:35,213 --> 00:14:36,440
And now?
155
00:14:37,972 --> 00:14:39,963
You are my husband's brother.
156
00:14:40,291 --> 00:14:41,770
Well.
157
00:14:41,971 --> 00:14:44,245
Why didn't you come with your wife?
158
00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:47,080
I'm still young.
Who would marry me?
159
00:14:47,410 --> 00:14:49,684
Hello, Zinat. How are you?
160
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:53,244
You recognized me without a hat!
161
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:58,083
Lady Gabbeh, your uncle is here.
162
00:14:58,287 --> 00:15:00,402
The wedding day approaches.
163
00:15:00,686 --> 00:15:02,563
How are you, Sakineh?
164
00:15:02,846 --> 00:15:05,439
And the children?
How many do you have?
165
00:15:05,645 --> 00:15:08,033
Seven. Come, children.
Your uncle is here.
166
00:15:08,444 --> 00:15:10,878
Are you okay, Zinat?
167
00:15:13,083 --> 00:15:15,039
-Hello.
-Hello, Uncle.
168
00:15:19,561 --> 00:15:22,029
How they have grown!
169
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,635
Tell your uncle
tell you something good
170
00:15:29,359 --> 00:15:32,236
My uncle?
He doesn't even remember me.
171
00:15:34,678 --> 00:15:36,793
Never remembered. Not even
Do you know if he is my uncle?
172
00:15:36,997 --> 00:15:39,305
from father or mother!
173
00:15:42,476 --> 00:15:43,874
Is this your son?
174
00:15:44,155 --> 00:15:47,066
He was away for a long time,
he no longer recognizes anyone.
175
00:15:47,314 --> 00:15:50,192
You are mocking me.
I'll show you.
176
00:15:51,393 --> 00:15:53,304
Zinat, that's the one over there.
177
00:15:53,553 --> 00:15:55,349
Sakineh, the one on the other side
178
00:15:55,832 --> 00:15:57,504
Soraya, the one who goes with your mother.
179
00:16:00,591 --> 00:16:02,740
Fatomeh, that
180
00:16:03,310 --> 00:16:06,984
Pray, it's there too.
Accompanies Zinat.
181
00:16:07,909 --> 00:16:10,139
Looks like my brother.
182
00:16:11,908 --> 00:16:14,262
-Did I get it right?
-No
183
00:16:14,627 --> 00:16:16,618
Well, where was I wrong?
184
00:16:18,906 --> 00:16:21,659
Our uncle brought us all together
under a tree.
185
00:16:21,866 --> 00:16:24,743
This tree is the symbol
of our family.
186
00:16:25,065 --> 00:16:30,091
A new branch sprouts with
each new birth.
187
00:16:30,503 --> 00:16:33,575
When one of us dies,
188
00:16:33,862 --> 00:16:37,059
a branch is cut.
189
00:16:37,302 --> 00:16:40,657
Grandma recognized each child
190
00:16:40,861 --> 00:16:43,328
through the branches of the tree.
191
00:16:47,259 --> 00:16:50,568
Did you see? Uncle didn't ask about me
192
00:16:51,338 --> 00:16:53,567
He didn't ask where Gabbeh was.
193
00:16:54,697 --> 00:16:56,767
He returned just because of his mother.
194
00:16:56,977 --> 00:16:59,695
Where is my mother?
Where is Narendj?
195
00:17:01,455 --> 00:17:02,774
Mom!
196
00:17:04,335 --> 00:17:06,450
Mom! Narendj!
197
00:17:07,294 --> 00:17:10,171
Your Abbas is back
198
00:17:10,453 --> 00:17:12,205
Where are you, Mommy?
199
00:17:22,050 --> 00:17:24,564
Too late.
Your guardian angel has passed away.
200
00:17:26,889 --> 00:17:29,607
Too late.
Your guardian angel has passed away.
201
00:17:36,846 --> 00:17:39,565
She wanted to finish this gabbeh
for your wedding
202
00:17:39,966 --> 00:17:41,842
and send you there in the city.
203
00:19:50,452 --> 00:19:52,488
It's wedding time.
204
00:19:53,052 --> 00:19:56,248
Too bad it's not mine.
But my uncle's.
205
00:19:59,450 --> 00:20:03,601
My father said:
"Your uncle is still single"
206
00:20:04,289 --> 00:20:07,485
"First it's his turn,
then it will be yours."
207
00:20:15,686 --> 00:20:17,438
Cheers.
208
00:20:17,765 --> 00:20:19,835
Uncle, please get married.
209
00:20:21,884 --> 00:20:25,671
The yellow of the wheat field.
210
00:20:33,042 --> 00:20:35,350
Children, what is that sound?
211
00:20:36,201 --> 00:20:37,838
A sparrow.
212
00:20:43,079 --> 00:20:45,273
And what can you hear there?
213
00:20:45,598 --> 00:20:46,747
A sparrow.
214
00:20:46,998 --> 00:20:50,785
Old man, let him free.
So that my uncle gets married soon.
215
00:21:02,234 --> 00:21:03,508
The sparrow?
216
00:21:03,794 --> 00:21:05,272
The singing bird
217
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:07,429
The singing bird
218
00:21:07,633 --> 00:21:09,827
Thanks to yellow
219
00:21:12,471 --> 00:21:15,861
the sparrow turns into a canary
220
00:22:53,566 --> 00:22:55,362
Is there anyone there?
221
00:22:55,605 --> 00:22:59,995
My uncle dreamed that he would find his
wife near a fountain.
222
00:23:00,284 --> 00:23:02,922
A girl who could
sing like a canary.
223
00:23:03,123 --> 00:23:06,160
My father looked for a wife
for my uncle
224
00:23:06,362 --> 00:23:08,239
in each and every clan.
225
00:23:08,562 --> 00:23:10,438
All the girls were pretty,
226
00:23:10,641 --> 00:23:13,758
but none of them sang like a canary.
227
00:23:13,961 --> 00:23:17,555
My uncle said he would find
his wife near a fountain.
228
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:21,233
He saw this fountain in a dream.
229
00:23:21,439 --> 00:23:23,906
Our tribe stopped at each spring.
230
00:23:24,158 --> 00:23:25,988
But we never found a girl
231
00:23:26,237 --> 00:23:27,795
that sang like a canary.
232
00:23:28,517 --> 00:23:29,586
Where is the source?
233
00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:33,626
Where you hear the sound of water.
234
00:24:15,905 --> 00:24:17,223
Hello.
235
00:24:17,464 --> 00:24:18,817
Hello.
236
00:24:20,783 --> 00:24:22,694
What's your name?
237
00:24:23,783 --> 00:24:25,818
I am the daughter of Aladad.
238
00:24:35,580 --> 00:24:37,410
I was looking for water,
239
00:24:37,899 --> 00:24:41,652
but I found a song.
What a beautiful poem!
240
00:24:41,898 --> 00:24:44,969
- I had never heard it before
- I wrote it tonight
241
00:24:45,217 --> 00:24:48,811
- You are the first one who hears
- When? Last night?
242
00:24:49,096 --> 00:24:50,814
That's right
243
00:24:51,016 --> 00:24:52,892
- Did you write it?
- Of course.
244
00:24:53,095 --> 00:24:55,893
Let me help you with the dishes.
245
00:24:56,654 --> 00:24:58,326
Are you a poet?
246
00:24:58,534 --> 00:25:00,808
No, I'm Aladad's daughter.
247
00:25:01,013 --> 00:25:03,686
I had never heard this poem.
Recite it again.
248
00:25:06,852 --> 00:25:09,081
(Turkish Dialect)
249
00:25:12,690 --> 00:25:14,920
Bravo. But say it in Persian.
250
00:25:16,209 --> 00:25:19,406
Above the fountain stay
below the source permanence
251
00:25:19,648 --> 00:25:22,321
I'm a pebble in the fountain
252
00:25:22,648 --> 00:25:24,877
When my beloved passes by...
253
00:25:26,447 --> 00:25:30,200
The canary that holds is me
I'm in three parts...
254
00:25:30,806 --> 00:25:32,363
Did you write it?
255
00:25:32,565 --> 00:25:33,759
Yes.
256
00:25:34,525 --> 00:25:35,752
Bravo.
257
00:25:36,004 --> 00:25:39,076
Who did you write it for?
For your beloved?
258
00:25:39,283 --> 00:25:42,081
No, for myself.
I don't have any loved ones.
259
00:25:43,642 --> 00:25:45,997
Not married?
260
00:25:46,882 --> 00:25:48,200
No.
261
00:25:49,961 --> 00:25:52,076
And why?
262
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,474
Well...
263
00:25:57,199 --> 00:25:59,393
Time flies.
How old are you?
264
00:26:10,835 --> 00:26:13,269
- Did you come from the city?
- Yes
265
00:26:16,634 --> 00:26:19,022
If I had a suitor,
Would you get married?
266
00:26:23,272 --> 00:26:27,150
I have to wait and see
what fate has in store for me.
267
00:26:28,991 --> 00:26:30,582
- Supposing I...
268
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:39,623
How bold!
269
00:26:43,347 --> 00:26:47,942
At that age...
There is no madman worse than an old madman
270
00:26:50,625 --> 00:26:52,104
She stole your heart.
271
00:26:53,745 --> 00:26:56,463
Silence.
Let them get married soon.
272
00:26:58,623 --> 00:27:01,978
If you get angry with me,
what are you going to do?
273
00:27:02,182 --> 00:27:03,581
I will pile up
274
00:27:03,822 --> 00:27:05,812
and recite poems
275
00:27:09,820 --> 00:27:11,094
Like which one?
276
00:27:11,620 --> 00:27:14,452
I'm thirsty, it's pure water
277
00:27:15,219 --> 00:27:17,016
I'm thirsty, it's pure water
278
00:27:19,578 --> 00:27:22,535
I'm tired, it's energy
279
00:27:23,177 --> 00:27:26,725
I'm tired, old and withered
280
00:27:27,536 --> 00:27:30,333
It's youth, it's bud
281
00:27:30,575 --> 00:27:34,362
I'm thirsty, it's pure water
282
00:27:36,973 --> 00:27:41,648
I'm tired, it's energy
283
00:27:43,852 --> 00:27:45,170
Yes...
284
00:27:46,691 --> 00:27:48,329
Yes...
285
00:27:49,450 --> 00:27:50,280
Yes...
286
00:27:50,530 --> 00:27:52,407
What does this mean?
287
00:27:54,609 --> 00:27:58,157
I liked your poem,
I will marry you.
288
00:28:01,647 --> 00:28:04,115
Where were you?
The child is thirsty.
289
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:09,960
I am really sorry. Fill it up.
290
00:28:10,165 --> 00:28:12,724
I must help this lady.
291
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:34,836
Have patience.
292
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:37,791
Now they're filling their purses
293
00:28:37,998 --> 00:28:40,033
They take a long time.
294
00:28:40,237 --> 00:28:42,512
No, you're the one who doesn't have
enough patient.
295
00:28:52,594 --> 00:28:56,666
I fell in love once. I understand
your anguish. Let me help.
296
00:29:29,985 --> 00:29:33,340
I asked for Aladad's daughter's hand.
297
00:29:33,544 --> 00:29:36,057
Get some sugar
to celebrate.
298
00:32:47,574 --> 00:32:49,371
I must add it there
299
00:32:49,574 --> 00:32:52,167
or my uncle's wedding
be late.
300
00:33:15,087 --> 00:33:17,317
Daughter of Aladad,
Did you weave this gabbeh?
301
00:33:17,527 --> 00:33:20,404
Of course.
Who else would have done this?
302
00:33:22,885 --> 00:33:24,716
Why is this knight here?
303
00:33:24,925 --> 00:33:26,755
The wife is taken by the knight.
304
00:33:26,964 --> 00:33:30,512
Yes, but not if he is old.
305
00:33:30,963 --> 00:33:32,794
It is excellent for young partners.
306
00:33:34,962 --> 00:33:38,078
I hear the call of old age
307
00:33:38,281 --> 00:33:40,749
when I see my gray hair
308
00:33:41,121 --> 00:33:44,715
Come to the wedding celebrations
Everyone is tired of waiting.
309
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,508
I'm coming. Don't make me
I regret this marriage.
310
00:33:51,198 --> 00:33:53,473
Looking is not seeing
311
00:33:53,678 --> 00:33:56,669
Behind each crib
a tomb is hidden
312
00:33:56,877 --> 00:33:59,265
Behind all the joy,
sadness...
313
00:33:59,516 --> 00:34:02,075
Why did you recite the poem?
Are you angry with me?
314
00:34:02,275 --> 00:34:03,105
No.
315
00:34:03,355 --> 00:34:05,822
I'm happy and content.
316
00:34:06,834 --> 00:34:10,906
But...fifty-seven years have passed
317
00:34:11,193 --> 00:34:13,911
And how! They passed so quickly...
318
00:34:18,271 --> 00:34:19,670
Don't be sad.
319
00:34:19,911 --> 00:34:22,629
Although my body grows old
320
00:34:22,870 --> 00:34:25,986
and my hair turns gray,
my heart is full of desire
321
00:34:26,789 --> 00:34:28,108
and hope
322
00:34:28,309 --> 00:34:31,778
My body is like a cold
and silent dungeon
323
00:34:32,708 --> 00:34:35,426
But my heart is like
a happy child...
324
00:36:09,963 --> 00:36:12,795
My uncle's wedding is woven
no gabbeh.
325
00:36:13,082 --> 00:36:16,756
Our clan left my uncle
and his wife
326
00:36:16,961 --> 00:36:20,270
� riverbank to
have their honeymoon
327
00:37:22,704 --> 00:37:26,378
Why are you crying, Lady Gabbeh?
328
00:37:26,943 --> 00:37:29,173
Because I still have to wait.
329
00:37:31,062 --> 00:37:33,257
Daddy said mommy should
first give birth
330
00:37:33,461 --> 00:37:35,179
After that, I can get married.
331
00:37:36,541 --> 00:37:41,613
But your father said you could
after your uncle's wedding!
332
00:37:44,139 --> 00:37:46,447
Now he says it is
after Mom gave birth.
333
00:37:46,938 --> 00:37:49,849
When are you expected to give birth?
334
00:37:52,737 --> 00:37:54,806
When we have risen
the camp,
335
00:37:55,616 --> 00:37:59,210
When we have walked a little,
when we have worked a little,
336
00:38:00,055 --> 00:38:02,443
when we have crossed the river...
337
00:38:50,802 --> 00:38:55,397
The women blew
the skins to inflate them.
338
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,759
The men tied them to the rafts.
339
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,508
and the boys put
the animals on them
340
00:39:03,039 --> 00:39:05,552
so that the water wouldn't wash them away.
341
00:39:05,798 --> 00:39:07,231
We had a flock of sheep.
342
00:39:07,518 --> 00:39:10,315
My mother worked more
harder than others,
343
00:39:10,517 --> 00:39:13,030
but there was still no
no sign of birth
344
00:39:39,349 --> 00:39:40,464
We crossed
345
00:39:40,709 --> 00:39:44,303
a freshwater river
and two of salt water...
346
00:39:44,548 --> 00:39:47,300
but my mother hasn't given birth yet.
347
00:40:20,459 --> 00:40:22,051
Uncle!
348
00:40:24,378 --> 00:40:26,254
The chicken laid an egg!
349
00:40:33,896 --> 00:40:35,487
It's time.
350
00:40:36,735 --> 00:40:38,372
It's time!
351
00:40:39,974 --> 00:40:41,771
Uncle, stop everything.
352
00:40:41,973 --> 00:40:44,168
Stop, I'm asking!
353
00:41:40,519 --> 00:41:41,997
I'm a stranger.
354
00:41:42,238 --> 00:41:46,025
Why did the man stop?
He should leave.
355
00:41:49,876 --> 00:41:52,185
Life is color!
356
00:42:09,191 --> 00:42:11,421
Love the color!
357
00:42:11,671 --> 00:42:13,900
Color man!
358
00:42:16,349 --> 00:42:18,146
Woman of color!
359
00:42:18,709 --> 00:42:20,664
Love the color!
360
00:42:29,546 --> 00:42:30,820
Child is color!
361
00:42:32,425 --> 00:42:34,336
Love is pain!
362
00:43:00,858 --> 00:43:04,850
You never gave me a son.
363
00:43:05,057 --> 00:43:07,809
I would like to have a child.
364
00:43:09,416 --> 00:43:11,929
How beautiful!
365
00:43:15,734 --> 00:43:17,247
I'm leaving on good terms.
366
00:43:18,734 --> 00:43:22,203
I don't do a curse!
367
00:43:26,771 --> 00:43:28,602
The old woman left.
368
00:43:28,811 --> 00:43:31,802
Do you want to run away with me?
369
00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:33,363
Dad would kill us.
370
00:43:33,570 --> 00:43:35,321
You are lying.
371
00:43:35,529 --> 00:43:38,804
God does not forgive liars.
372
00:43:39,008 --> 00:43:41,886
Tell me the truth.
373
00:43:42,607 --> 00:43:45,565
Don't lie.
374
00:43:47,646 --> 00:43:50,637
You don't love me.
You are lying.
375
00:43:51,085 --> 00:43:53,360
I'm not lying. I love you.
376
00:43:53,965 --> 00:43:56,797
It's not true.
377
00:43:57,004 --> 00:43:59,563
I know you're lying.
378
00:44:00,443 --> 00:44:02,797
It looks like a baby. Stop complaining!
379
00:44:03,242 --> 00:44:05,710
I'm sure you're lying.
380
00:44:05,921 --> 00:44:08,674
Your father won't see.
381
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:20,554
What beautiful babies!
382
00:44:21,238 --> 00:44:24,070
Did he drink some milk?
383
00:44:24,757 --> 00:44:25,871
No
384
00:44:26,396 --> 00:44:27,909
Didn't take it?
385
00:44:28,396 --> 00:44:31,068
Go have some milk
386
00:44:43,192 --> 00:44:45,182
Go and milk his mother.
387
00:44:46,591 --> 00:44:48,309
He's hungry.
388
00:44:52,910 --> 00:44:55,662
Give him his mother's milk.
389
00:45:05,346 --> 00:45:07,064
Sakineh, the baby is hungry.
390
00:46:05,291 --> 00:46:08,088
Life is color!
391
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:11,567
Death is...
392
00:47:07,035 --> 00:47:09,151
You told me to wash the gabbeh
393
00:47:09,395 --> 00:47:12,625
to feel better.
Then why do you cry?
394
00:47:13,234 --> 00:47:15,303
Because I still have to wait.
395
00:47:16,193 --> 00:47:18,990
My father and uncle are not here.
396
00:47:19,832 --> 00:47:21,550
Not even my mother.
397
00:47:21,872 --> 00:47:25,147
They took my sister-in-law
to see the doctor in town.
398
00:47:26,390 --> 00:47:29,143
I have to take care of the children
and animals.
399
00:47:31,069 --> 00:47:33,537
A sheep has a cold.
400
00:47:34,228 --> 00:47:36,423
My sister Sholeh disappeared.
401
00:48:10,259 --> 00:48:11,817
Don't run away.
402
00:48:38,612 --> 00:48:40,364
Be careful, you will fall!
403
00:48:53,128 --> 00:48:56,006
Mom! Uncle! I'm going to fall...
404
00:49:03,926 --> 00:49:05,517
Uncle!
405
00:49:15,643 --> 00:49:16,597
Daddy!
406
00:49:17,282 --> 00:49:18,635
Sholeh!
407
00:50:13,468 --> 00:50:15,139
It's my fault.
408
00:53:26,099 --> 00:53:28,817
Why did you stop? Keep going!
409
00:54:34,961 --> 00:54:37,793
Why did you stop?
Come on, keep going!
410
00:56:00,499 --> 00:56:03,297
Go the other way.
411
00:59:31,846 --> 00:59:35,679
By day, the girls watched me,
at night, men.
412
00:59:35,925 --> 00:59:38,802
I had no chance to escape.
413
00:59:39,004 --> 00:59:41,676
On the day that the gabbeh of
my grandmother was finished,
414
00:59:42,203 --> 00:59:46,753
my uncle told me I should run away.
415
00:59:47,402 --> 00:59:49,790
I would leave my father aside
416
00:59:50,001 --> 00:59:52,036
when you wouldn't see me leave.
417
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,674
Oh mother, your gabbeh is ready.
418
00:59:58,799 --> 01:00:01,676
I would like to lie down on it and
never get up again.
419
01:00:01,918 --> 01:00:05,751
That's when I had the opportunity
to run away, but I didn't dare.
420
01:00:06,117 --> 01:00:10,029
Why won't you come?
Tell me why!
421
01:00:12,835 --> 01:00:16,270
Why do you hurt me?
422
01:00:16,474 --> 01:00:18,783
Why don't we run away together?
423
01:00:18,994 --> 01:00:23,304
Let's go. Don't make me suffer.
424
01:00:24,032 --> 01:00:28,661
Your father is not here.
425
01:00:32,110 --> 01:00:34,704
You made me so unhappy.
426
01:00:34,909 --> 01:00:37,662
You made me lose my mind.
427
01:00:38,429 --> 01:00:41,977
Why don't you listen to me?
428
01:00:42,707 --> 01:00:45,426
Stop making me angry!
429
01:01:11,260 --> 01:01:13,490
Because of you,
430
01:01:13,740 --> 01:01:16,890
I am like a suffering soul.
431
01:01:17,539 --> 01:01:20,006
Why don't you listen to me?
432
01:01:20,298 --> 01:01:21,811
Don't you love me?
433
01:01:22,017 --> 01:01:24,929
You don't love me!
434
01:01:35,614 --> 01:01:39,162
You don't love me.
435
01:01:39,653 --> 01:01:41,484
I brought some apples.
436
01:01:41,692 --> 01:01:43,808
Why don't you eat them?
437
01:01:48,091 --> 01:01:50,046
You don't love me.
438
01:05:46,230 --> 01:05:47,709
He killed them!
439
01:05:49,349 --> 01:05:50,907
He killed them!
440
01:07:00,491 --> 01:07:02,447
Madam Gabbeh,
441
01:07:02,731 --> 01:07:05,961
will help me clean
the gabbeh tomorrow?
442
01:07:06,170 --> 01:07:09,161
I can't. My feet are hurt.
443
01:07:16,967 --> 01:07:19,036
Madam Gabbeh,
444
01:07:19,606 --> 01:07:23,564
Do what you want with me,
but don't break my heart.
445
01:07:31,643 --> 01:07:35,032
The old woman is gone.
Don't lie.
446
01:07:35,322 --> 01:07:39,234
Let's leave together.
How many times should I beg?
447
01:07:39,521 --> 01:07:42,081
You don't love me.
448
01:07:46,519 --> 01:07:48,794
You are a liar...
449
01:07:51,478 --> 01:07:55,356
You don't love me.
Tell me the truth.
450
01:07:55,557 --> 01:07:57,912
Actually, my father didn't kill us.
451
01:07:58,396 --> 01:08:01,149
It was just a rumor.
He just said it
452
01:08:01,676 --> 01:08:04,314
so my sisters wouldn't run away
453
01:08:04,555 --> 01:08:07,466
and so they never responded
to the call of the wolf.
454
01:08:07,674 --> 01:08:10,471
And that's why, forty years ago,
455
01:08:10,833 --> 01:08:15,348
that no one has heard the song
of the canary near the fountain.
