Yes, they are all busy getting ready for the feast.

- Is Asghar around? - He is not here.

- Is Asghar there? - He is in the hall.

Yes, OK, OK!

Don't you come to my place tomorrow?

So, why should I come there tonight?

Oh, come on! What do you mean by loneliness?

What do I do always?

Let me see. Bye.

These gypsies come here in groups & they fill in forms for them.

Then we, who have been working here for 20 years, are always penniless.

Zahra, it seems your day won't come to an end if you don't nag.

They are here to pick tomatoes...

Then what are you & the others doing here?

I'll stay. You have the requirements.

Those with a family have priority.

Your address?

Khatunabad, Mottahari Complex.

Next!

Nobar Kordani.

The job of spouse?

I am not married.

Single...

Next!

Why next? I said I am not married but I didn't say I am alone.

I have to take care of the expenses of 3 people, my house is near here too.

I know my job well, You can ask Qodrat. What else do you want?

Asghar!

- How many are they? - Eight.

Don't be too hard on them. Write all their names.

- Your address? - Nemat Abad,

Ghale Khan Kiln.

Serve the rice, hurry! Hurry!

Ali, Ali, Ali!

Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ya Ali!

OK, OK.

You haven't come to a party, Get up & help. Hurry!

Send hail to Prophet Muhammad & his family for the health of Mr. Rasool Rahmnai.

"May God send hail to Mohammad & His family"

May his body be devoid of illness. Amen!

May his table be full of daily bread. Amen!

Send hail to Imam Al-Mahdi!

"May God send hail to Mohammad & His family"

- Have your food! - Have your food!

- Have your food. - Sir, have your food.

- Have your food. - Have your food.

- Have your food. - Have your food.

Come, come take a seat. In the name of God. Take a seat.

Have your food!

With your permission.

Here you are, wait! You have many kids, go!

GO! Go!

Here you are.

Here you are.

Why did you give her 2 and only 1 to me?

Do I have more experience or this chicken?

Quiet! It has nothing to do with experience, You are only one person.

It has nothing to do with numbers, say it is because of her beauty.

- Rahim! - Yes?

- I am leaving. You'll keep an eye, won't you? - Of course, you rest assured.

May I leave, sir?

Take me to Forough's place. I'm tired.

I wanted to take this. It belongs to this girl, Kordani.

Zahra made a fuss & she didn't take her meat.

- Where is her house? - On the way, Nemat Abad.

- I'll be back right away. - Just hurry!

Hey, do you know Kordani?

What?

Who are you looking for?

Do you have anyone by the name of Kordani here?

What do you want with her?

I am looking for the man who brought her meat.

- Just for her? - Well, the girl works in the factory.

Ah... Nobar!

I was the one who brought her there.

She used to work here until a while back.

His father was here until he was alive,

It is said he died because of his wife.

She has problems. She is an addict.

Who is it?

- What do you want? - Open the door, it's not a stranger.

She is afraid.

- Hello! - Hello!

He wants Nobar.

What do you have to do with my sister?

I have come after the one who had come after her.

Take him to "Nane Soltoon".

You piece of shit, I said take him!

- I take him? - Take him!

Let me take you. When "Nane Soltoon" is not feeling right,

No one dares to go near her. When my sister goes there,

she holds here hand behind her back... Like this,

pulls her head back & inserts her fingers in her mouth,

Then she suddenly throws up She vomits & vomits, then...

She coughs so mush that she is left listless. There she is.

Sorry sir! I got stuck.

Hello sir.

Hello dad. I called the guard and he said you have left. We are waiting for you.

Dad, this is Ensi. Hi! We won't have dinner until you come.

Oh, Dad! It is 10 o'clock! Where are you? We are worried about you.

Call us the minute you get home.

Hi, daddy! I am coming home...

Wednesday, 17th, 9 o'clock. Emirates airline, flight number 724.

I miss you a lot! Very much. I kiss you.

I miss you a lot! Very much. I kiss you.

I love you, my Eftekhar.

Hello dad.

Hello Forough!

You've put yourself into trouble again.

It's nothing, a little New Year rice with some stuff for your freezer.

Why didn't you come last night? We waited for you for a long time.

I was very tired.

I love my dad who doesn't keep his promise! Hello!

Hello, come to me! I don't mean you. I meant her!

The apple of dad's eye is coming in 2 weeks!

You started the minute you arrived? Each flower has its own scent.

Yes, but Eftekhar is Dad's favorite.

You naughty!

Your mother's respect is more valuable to me.

If I really knew her soul will be content this way, I'd do much more.

So, this year let me hold the ceremony in my own home.

She lived in this home all her life, I'm still capable.

Then you want me to hold her memorial service in my son-in-law's place?

- These are the customs. - No, no!

These are not customs, these are being fashionable.

To hold a big ceremony & invite a bunch of rich people,

Is not the customs. It's better if a group of the ladies of the family gather & pray...

and to spend the money on those who need it.

For you who spends so much, it doesn't become you to count the pennies now.

This is called being calculating or just because I don't give my control to you I'm called that?

Anyway, what we say is for your own good.

Oh, for my own good!

To sell all my belongings & put the money in the bank & come & live with you?

When have we told you what to do?

Don't you think the troubles of managing a factory are more than its benefits?

That factory is my hobby. Can't you understand this?

It was not my dad's inheritance. It is the yield of all my toil.

I wasn't an irresponsible man!

- Hush, dad, OK! - Well I can't sit idle now.

- Dad! - Happy new year!

Hello!

Hello!

- How are you? - Are you fine? Come in.

Hello, Dad.

- Here you are ma'am, your sweets. - Here you are.

- Where is our new year's gift dad? - It's upstairs.

- Your checks bring bounty to our pockets. - Gee!

Hello, Master!

Take care not to break the stem.

You have just this brother and sister?

Yes.

Why don't you find a way to cure your mom?

She is past recovery.

But she is your mother, do you want to send her to a hospital?

It's no use.

You haven't got your wages, have you?

Not yet.

Go to the treasury & get half of your wages so that you are not left empty handed.

Take it!

If you want to do me a favor let me bring my sister along.

When I come to work in the mornings, I'm constantly worrying about her.

Go ask Qodrat to come here.

He doesn't show, but he has such a tender heart.

When I came from Lahijan, he took me to where I am right now,

Now it is a ruin, but as it is in the limited area,

he hasn't touched it. He told me," You can stay here up to the time you are alone."

Maybe he knew I'll always be alone.

Why are you called Qodrat? [A man's name means Power]

With all this hair did you expect me to be called Rana?

Is that your real name?

No, promise not to laugh but my name is Kabutar. (The pigeon)

There was a time that I fit my name.

When I was 13, I went to a factory that had hormones, I don't know what,

They say it is because of that my face has changed.

Nasser!

How many times shall I tell you?

How many times? How many times?

You will not listen! You will not!!!

Now that you are staying there.

If neither you, nor he comes to work...

What? Do you want to say we have to empty this rat's place?

I say? If you are still here it's because I have kept an eye on you.

No need for that! You step back, let me see who wants to throw me out of here!

Go!

Come this way.

Why did you hit him?

Tell me the truth! Where have you put it?

Again you went to work & became cheeky?

You know that if anything goes wrong they'll escape & you'd be in trouble.

No need for you to feel sorry for me!

Because of that little damned stuff they throw in front you,

You are ruining both your life & the life of that kid.

Where did he go again?

Hey, the blue veiled!

Say hello!

- What is your name? - Senobar!

Where is your tongue?

That night in your house you were such a chatterbox!

Take it!

- Take it. - Take it.

Take it and give it to her.

Thank you.

Eftekhar!

May God rest her soul! You resemble her so much.

Let's go my love! This is life. All will go one day.

- Welcome, ma'am! - May you live long, Asghar!

Wish Hesam and the kids were here too.

Hope to God, we'll come to you for the new year with Forough & the kids.

Hopefully.

- That is if dad comes. - What do you want me for?

Am I a kid to follow you wherever you go? You go yourself!

Say that to Ensi! She sleeps, she worries about you, she sits, she says, "Dad".

She is eating and wonders what dad is doing now.

It is your entire fault. You have spoiled your wives.

Really!

He has put us all into trouble because of his stubbornness.

He won't come and stay with one of us,

All alone in this house...

- If he consented to... - To do what?

If we could find her a religious middle-aged woman and made her his concubine,

Then he wouldn't be alone and there would be someone to attend to his needs.

If this 2 or 3 times a week you come here is too much for you,

don't come! I am not dead yet!

Oh, what is it you say?

Our worries are something, dad's life something else.

Don't you want to wake up early and go? Well, get up & go to sleep.

Get up Eftekhar! Come lady! You are tired go and sleep! Get up!

Where does the apple of Dad's eye want to sleep?

Oh!

May God rest mom's soul.

Come!

Get up Eftekhar! Get up honey!

Gather these too.

Thank you.

I dreamt of her two nights before coming here.

She was wearing a white veil & pointing to somewhere,

I couldn't see anyone, but it was as if she wanted to point you to me.

I am dying!

I come & go but it's no use I just can tell you,

Till one's last breath you need a partner.

No one understands what loneliness means, unless he is lonely.

I understand it well. Very well.

Why you? May Hesam and the kids live long!

Does he bother you?

I wish he did that. He has his own life & I am busy with my kids.

- Maybe he is flirting around? - No, he is better than that.

Then, how? You were always so chummy!

You had a good life together.

Dad, happiness is not what...

people see from outside.

That is why there is no law to define who will be happy with whom.

Farhad!

- Farhad! - Yes?

Put this in the middle of the table.

- It'll wilt. - No, I have put ice in the vase.

- Dad, won't you get ready? - I'm coming.

- Asghar! - Yes, ma'am?

What are these I had asked for those with a rose pattern.

- They didn't have this many. - They aren't that bad.

They are like melamine.

- Hurry, Qodrat. We are running late. - Sure, ma'am.

Why have we come here? I really didn't want to come.

What's wrong with it?

You should have seen the service, at the first year after her death.

She deserved it. She was a great lady No wonder after her death,

The master became a loner.

Nobar! Come upstairs and help Zahra!

Take care you don't break it, dear.

- Zahra, is the tea ready? - Yes.

You'd serve tea every 15 minutes, OK?

- Don't let me call you. - Sure

You are most welcome, come in.

Dad, Hajji Shokoohi. You are most welcome, come in.

- Hello! - I am very sorry.

You are most welcome.

- Please, thank you. - Accept my condolences.

Hello, ma'am.

- Please ma'am! Come in. - You are very welcome.

This gathering is held in the memory of late Mrs. Shokri,

- on behalf her husband Mr. Rasool Rahmani, - Very quietly, take it there!

And all her daughters I thank all the ladies & gentlemen.

Quiet, very quiet!

For this reason, a few verses about Imam Ali we'll be recited.

I hope for everyone's attention.

♫ I didn't know who or what I am ♫

♫ Whatever I am is because of you, Imam Ali! ♫

♫ Ya Ali! Ya Ali! Ya Ali ♫

Go serve these among the ladies.

- Now? - No, wait for the prayers to finish, then go.

It may take more than 2 hours. Go!

You wait here, I'll be back.

♫ Cleanse our hearts with your bounty ♫

- Why is she sewing tea now? - Who?

Why are you sewing teas now?

♫ My friend... ♫

♫ If the people have faith in the poor ♫

Don't you know tea is not served in the middle of prayers?

What can I do? That's what Zahra said.

Damn Zahra! No one brings anything, unless I tell you.

♫ I am the beggar... ♫

- Get up, let's go. Hurry! - What's wrong?

- Let's go. - Where to? At least wait to have your dinner.

- Asghar will take us home - No, I'll go myself. Let's go.

♫ My King, Imam Ali... ♫

Nobar! Nobar! Where are you going?

What's up?

What is wrong Reza?

They were arrested.

Nasser too?

What is it? Go to your houses.

Are you OK sir?

When Eftekhar leaves I get so depressed.

Where are they? She hasn't been around for some time.

She has fallen ill because of her mother she was arrested.

Nobar is after her brother, poor girl.

Qodrat drops by them everyday.

- Hello, sir. - Hello, sir.

Hi, why have you become so thin, sparrow?

- Haven't you taken her for a visit? - I'll take her when she is better.

What have they said?

She has to stay.

But as it is the first time for Nasser, he has to be punished.

Before he is punished, he'll be totally ruined.

- Now where is he? - In the children's prison.

You take care of Senobar, to get better.

I'll get back to work on Saturday.

You are welcome.

What a world.

She is burning in her young age & doesn't comprehend it.

Asghar!

- Yes, sir? - Don't you want to get married?

Oh, my God.

- You should be ashamed of yourself. - Let go of me! I said leave me alone.

- Will you take it? - Of course I will.

Hit! Come on, hit!

Now you break my head?

- You want to pull my leg. - I'll even scratch your eyes.

Anything is possible from you, Mr. Qodrat! You should have been called the Macho Man!

Shut up, Rahim. Aren't you ashamed of yourself!

Swear to God, Asghar! It is all her fault. What has it got to do with me?

I don't know what is wrong with her today. Since morning she is not herself.

Take her Azam.

Go back to your work.

- Is that possible, sir? - Yes, Abbas has found someone there.

- I'll bail him out myself. - May God give you bounty.

Have you given it good thought?

- She is a nice girl. - I know, sir.

Swear to God, I feel sorry for her, but I can't.

To be honest with you, if you allow...

with Qodrat, that is Kabutar.

Our own Kabutar? Really?

Great, she is a wonderful woman.

Oh, oh, quiet!

I wish you stayed here to work.

Didn't you hear me?

I am both fed up with this place & with you.

Do you think I am happy from staying here?

In autumn, when I get back to our own place, I won't return.

That's what you said last year.

Last year, when I came back I thought to myself maybe this time...

Step back, so you don't get soaked.

Ouch!

Ouch, ouch!

Hurry, it's getting dark.

I am getting married.

- When, with whom? - Guess! Our own Asghar.

- You never said anything. - That's because I wanted him.

- I didn't know he wanted me, too. - Now when is the wedding?

If it were up to me, I'd choose tomorrow but Asghar says let's wait until next week.

Now let me tell you of Master,

Hi, auntie.

Hi, dear.

The master has said, when I go to Asghar's house Nobar is the one...

to go to in that house.

Isn't it good?

Let's go back to work.

- Kabutar! - What?

Ask Nobar to come.

- Nobar dear. - What?

Nasser?

He'll work under Asghar until his school starts.

He takes a wrong step and he has to answer me.

- Understood? - Yes!

Tomorrow you'll move your house and come where Kabutar told you.

I don't want this kid to go to that area.

Whatever you say!

Come, come, Senobar, come!

- Come. - Bye, children.

Bye, bye, bye.

Bye kids.

- Let's go. - Bye.

- I'll drop by one day. - Don't worry, she is like our own sister.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bye, children.

Ya Ali!

Dad!

Dad!

You killed me Daddy!

- What is wrong? - Nothing.

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with me When I have no news of you, I get so worried.

You don't come to our place, saying you are busy. I call you, you are not in,

Swear to God I didn't sleep last night

I wanted to come here in the middle of the night, Farhad stopped me.

We had a fight, too. She calls me a ninny. What can I do?

I am constantly thinking of you.

What is wrong? For heaven's sake! I am your daughter.

I am worried about you.

If you are tired, go to Eftekhar, if you have an illness let me take you to the doctor's...

Heh! You think when one gets old he should only be worried about his...

blood pressure & cholesterol You forget there are other problems.

That are not reported in a CBC. You forget I'm alive!

Breathe & have life!

Don't cry! See what I have brought you. Take it, dear.

I gave our new address to the office.

My baby, Senobar!

My baby, Senobar!

Now who is he?

A human.

My dear.

Does he want to marry you?

He wants to find me a husband.

Consider her as my own daughter, Ms. Akhbari.

I want him to be someone who appreciates her value,

I don't want him to think she is a nobody.

If you say the boy is OK, well arrange a meeting.

Kabutar!

Sorry, Ms. Akhbari! I don't know what went wrong.

What is it you say? This is disrespect!

- Excuse me! - I will report this to Mr. Rahmani.

During these past days I left everything to attend to this matter. This was not right at all.

Please accept my apologies. Maybe next time, sorry.

Kabutar! What is going on here?

Well I couldn't convince her to come. What could I do?

Couldn't she have come and sit there for a second?

The truck is late, it's not my fault.

Take it there.

Nobar!

Nobar Kordani!

My good man,

Swear to God, it doesn't seem right. Please go in, I'll be with you.

May God kill me, I'll come and explain.

Please go.

She says neither this nor anyone else. I tell her " My girl! Master wants your good.

He says you are young and shouldn't be alone. One day, when your mom...

comes out, there will be the same old story. There should be someone to support you."

She says,"What have I done until now? I'll do the same from now on."

I say, What if master was not there to support you? She says, I owe him everything.

I don't want to oppose him,

but if he wants to insist and make me,

I quit my job and leave.

I don't know.

She says the master's support is enough for her and she doesn't need anything else.

Hello..., Eftekhar? My love...

Everything is OK, I am just lonely I wish you were here.

Asghar! What shall I tell them?

I can't let you, load the goods until he is here.

Don't waste your time.

- Yes? - Hello, ma'am Ensi.

No news, I don't know what to do Everything is mixed up.

If he doesn't show up until tomorrow ask Farhad & Abbas to come here.

I can't answer back tomorrow. Hold on a second.

Where do you think you are going? What about the check for the last consignment?

How come we can give you the checks, but not the goods?

Let it stay for the time the master returns. Let's go!

Who is left to call?

Hello?

Quiet! It is Eftekhar again.

Hello Eftekhar. How are you?

No, no news yet. Don't you worry!

We'll call you when we hear anything.

- Is that aunt Eftekhar? - Yes!

- Quiet! - Sure...

Give my regards to Hesam, Bye.

I don't know what is the use of our staying here?

If he wants to call, he'll call our place not here.

Let's go! The kid is having a hard time too.

I can't.

Oh, what is it you can't? You are an extremist!

This is not the right time for these talks.

Nobar, what are you doing here?

I am worried about him.

Say no!

Say you don't want.

Say and put me in peace.

My respect, my good name,

I'll take care of you until I'm alive just like my own daughters.

Maybe even better than them. This was my intention from the beginning.

I was afflicted all of a sudden,

Tell me I am old enough to be your father.

Tell me it is not right to say these words.

I don't want you to ruin your youth for me,

In a clandestine life, the fear of being find out, dropping by once in a while.

What if I am happy with it? I have to say no?

You are a kid, you don't understand.

I want to do many things for you but...

I can't even have your name registered in my marriage certificate.

Do you know what it means?

When nobody is supposed to know I'm your wife,

What difference does it make if my name is registered or not?

I don't know! I don't know at all!

- Abbas! Abbas! - What?

Get up! Dad is here.

Here?

Hello, Dad!

- Hello! - Hi!

Hi, dad!

You hadn't told us you were going on a trip.

I should have gone, Sorry, I am tired.

I am leaving. You can come or stay here, as long as you want.

Where are you taking the kid?

What are you waiting for? Go wake up the kids and let's go

Hurry!

Hurry, it's lunchtime. The work is over.

Rashid, ask the men to come and wash their faces.

What are you looking at? Let's go to lunch.

Hello

You are welcome. You are welcome.

- You are welcome. - Oh, where have you been?

You made everyone worried. There are a lot of bills left, everyone is complaining.

Tell Kabutar not to leave Nobar alone.

She should go and visit her.

Hasn't she come to work?

She won't come anymore!

- Now how do you know? - I grew up with him.

When he opens his mouth, I know what he wants to say. I am not stupid.

Look how the girl deceived him!

Now, what is wrong with it?

Wrong?

I don't know, I hope we are all happy in the end.

You look so beautiful.

- I wanted to make you a bride myself - I didn't have a wedding.

Do you think I had one?

When your father's family got to know he is to marry...

the daughter of Mehdi, the opium addict they turned their back against him.

Said one doesn't hold a wedding for a girl who has a bad reputation.

He had nothing and was as stubborn as you are.

I've made these for Nasser, in the winter his hands will have cracks.

- He has become a man. - How did he come out?

- He bailed him out. - Is he a good man?

I wish I could see him.

You'll come out.

How is my Senobar?

When I think of her I feel so sorry.

I haven't been a good mother to her. What am I saying?

Was I a good one for you?

The Spruce pines grow & grow to reach the sun,

but the tomatoes gain color in a full moon.

Under a full moon they gradually become red and beautiful.

Beautiful like Nobar.

- Thank you. - Get up Senobar. Go and sleep in your bed.

I want to stay with uncle.

Get up, honey. I have to go too. The kids will call and may get worried.

I don't want to go.

- You take it, I'll fix it. - He'll fix it.

Give me a new invoice & I'll take the goods. Give them a new invoice.

Oh, please don't bother me. Let me...

- Sir, don't play with him. - No, I won't take it.

I'll try... They have to carry out their commitment.

- But your direct supervision is called for. - There has been a mistake.

- So what? It is not here. - The technical team need more attention too.

- No need for you to take the goods. - Asghar!

- Asghar! - What is going on?

There has been a mistake in his invoice and he is threatening me.

- He is threatening me. - Go empty the goods.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

We'll hold a meeting next week to talk more about it.

- OK. - As you say.

He is right, I made a mistake I forgot to tell you.

I don't want to be nosy sir but I wanted to tell you something.

To be honest with you, no one listens to me in the factory anymore,

There are talks and people whisper...

May it be the day I die, if I see you disgraced.

Please be more careful.

Nasser!

If you see the master... nothing!

Ask Kabutar to come here.

OK!

I have missed you.

Kabutar was here and she said you are feeling under weather a little.

Do you know how many days it is you haven't come here?

I know the seconds. The girls are bothering me a lot,

I am hallucinating, wherever I go I feel I am being watched.

I'll visit you tomorrow. Yes, ma'am.

There was no sign, but I am sure.

Women's intuition sees beyond their eyes.

The way Abbas called and said it is something done and finished,

- I knew it is a serious matter. - What do you mean?

I don't know. I'll tell you when I come over tonight.

What is happening to us?

Bye, uncle. We had a great time.

- Oh, you sweet talker! - Bye.

I don't want to go, I want to return to the factory,

At least I would see you there everyday.

I know you are frustrated with this type of life.

I want to have my job like those days.

And everyone know that I am your wife.

Like all the others, like Asghar & Kabutar!

I'm not calm anywhere.

Not in the house, not in the factory not with my daughters.

I have lost control,

I wish you hadn't come...

I wish I hadn't met you...

Wish you had come earlier, ma'am.

- Where are you going, Asghar? - To do some shopping for Madam Forough.

- Tell them I'll be late tonight. - Yes, sir.

- What have you bought, uncle? - Stop it.

Go to the yard, children!

Come upstairs, Asghar!

- Shall I take them to the kitchen? - Zahra will take them.

- Weren't you at the factory? - I had to do some errands for Forough.

Come here.

Sit down!

Master said he'll be a little late, don't worry.

Look, Asghar! We don't have brothers, but you...

who have grown up in our house are like our brother.

Hello, Ensi.

Well, of course. God bless you ma'am.

So, anything good or bad for us will be applicable to you too.

That's right.

I want to talk about dad,

We have heard things that I only hope they are all a pack of lies.

But as you are close to him I want you to tell us...

everything if there is something wrong so we think of a solution.

What do you mean? Everyone loves the master in the factory.

Don't beat around the bush.

Which bush?

Get out!

May all you got from our family damn you!

We know everything, I wanted to become sure, which I did.

But, it won't be good for the master.

You talk too much! Go!

He was supposed to come but he is not here.

Look, look what you have done to him!

- What is going on, Kabutar? - Nothing, he is making a scene.

They have suspected some things and held a meeting.

They made a scene, now he is worried.

May God help us now, what has happened that you are making her so anxious?

Master has to answer this. She hasn't done anything illegal.

Where are you going?

I am going there, I am worried. I want to find him before he arrives.

Look, sir! If we want to keep the quality of the goods, the price will go up,

Then we'll lose customers. If we keep it untouched, we'll have no benefit.

If we close it down, a lot of people will be unemployed.

- Forough, don't tell him I'm home. - We have to bear with it.

- We'll bear it to see what happens. - Yes!

- How are you? - Thanks.

- Where is Abbas? - At his mother's.

The kids aren't here, either.

- They are at Ensi's place. - How strange!

Won't Farhad come, either?

Why should he come?

It'll be better if we keep our troubles among ourselves.

What do you mean?

Look, Mr. Rahmani, we are all here to do...

whatever we can for you.

- What for? - We have heard you have a problem.

We wanted to hear it from you. Your daughters are very worried.

Rasool, you were always well known for your honesty in the family.

You were loyal to your family whether at the time your wife was alive,

or after her death. We have heard rumors about a gypsy type girl,

who has made some trouble for you. Now you tell us,

What we can do for you?

What is this nonsense?

What are this crazy words?

Thank you very much, Forough!

Well done, Ensi!

You hold a court? To blame your dad in front of everyone?

To ruin your father?

If you had a problem, couldn't you told me yourselves... before calling everyone?

I am a fool, crazy and imbecile.

I'm fool that you mock me, in front of other people.

Where are you going? You have to answer us.

Who is this girl, Nobar Kordani?

Don't say you don't know her

You haven't told one lie all your life,

Who is this girl? Who is she who have made you an object of ridicule in front of all?

So that everyone is saying a gypsy type girl has deceived the master.

May I die and don't hear these.

Oh my God!

Master!

Master!

If anything happens to my father, I'll kill her.

- You lizard! You keep secrets, just like her! - Go!

- You are so disrespectful. All of you. - Leave him alone!

I'll do something to you that we'll be remembered for ages!

I want to go! I want to meet him.

Who can question me?

- I am his wife, can't you see? - Swear to God he is OK,

He had a slight rise in blood pressure. He'll stay the night and come tomorrow.

His daughters are angry now. For his sake you shouldn't confront them now.

For his sake? I'm ready to die for his sake.

How are you? Give it to me.

Who will listen to our pains? He is ready to have this villager & that girl by his bed,

- Then we can't see him - Well, it's obvious, she is a novelty.

We have to finish the business before he gets out of the hospital.

I know the language of this type of people.

Go with Farhad!

What has it got to do with me. Up to now no one had said anything to me.

- See! - I am a stranger.

I have to go myself, the whole case should be closed.

On the condition, that do not become angry there.

When the master wanted to bail your brother out I worked so hard on the case.

So what I say is for your own good.

With this, you can find a house and manage your life for a while,

On the condition that you'd be smart and have left here when I return on Thursday.

If I decide to go, I'll leave tonight! Right now.

If that is what Rasool wants!

Shit up, girl! My mother lived with him a life time and didn't dare to...

- That's enough! - To call him like this!

Now you piece of dirt have become a somebody for me? Come, come!

What is it? Weren't you supposed to keep quiet?

Look dear, this is what he wants too, now he may...

not be able to say so. His relatives have got to know about this,

It's not good for his social standing.

Look, dear. Whenever you stop the loss, you'll gain. He'll surely die under this pressure.

That's enough Abbas! My father is dying then you are telling stories.

- She won't dare not to go. - OK!

- Gather them. - OK, now.

What are you doing? Wasn't it because of these that you disrupted our lives?

- OK, now! Take them. - What are you doing?

- I have to see him in person. - In person?

[Sounds in the background]

- Where did you put the car? - This way.

Let's go to Nobar's house then I'll settle everything with them all.

- Excuse me. - Open the door!

It would be better if we went to your house.

What do you mean?

Everyone is waiting for you.

Who has given them permission to go to my house?

What is going on, Asghar?

Nobar is not home.

She is with Kabutar.

Will you drive there, or I shall go myself?

I just stayed to see you, then leave.

They are saying the truth.

Who is a poor gypsy type to sit in the place of Mr. Rasool's wife?

But I was happy being only your concubine.

They said it is like this in the beginning then you'll convince him to marry you...

Then you'll become pregnant and get all his belongings.

They threw a pile of money in front of me to take and leave.

I told them I haven't come for anything to leave for it.

I told them I have come for the sake of someone who himself should ask me to leave.

They hit me in the mouth, telling me I talk big.

That is when I realized what is the difference between having your name registered or not.

They say they have set out a long time back. I don't know why they are not here yet.

- Have something ladies. - Thanks!

Kazem, bring the tea.

- Sorry gentlemen! I'll be with you in a minute. - Don't mention it.

What a story!

OK, OK! Whatever wasn't supposed to happen, happened.

Now be smart and the minute he arrives go and kiss his hand and patch up.

- Hello, dad. - Hello, dad.

- Hello, dad. - Hello, dad.

- Hello. - You are most welcome, dad.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. Hello.

It's nothing, you stay here.

What is going on?

- You said everything was over. - What can I say?

I was such a fool.

Take whatever I have.

I brought you up in the best possible way,

I took care of you in the best possible way,

Even had I been your enemy instead of your father,

We'd be even with what you did.

To hold the respect of the family name and fear of disgrace,

you disrespected me badly.

I'll leave the remainder of my respect here and leave.

Rasool Rahmani died today.

The man standing here...

wants to stay with Nobar Kordani, a gypsy type girl of no origin.

Till he dies.
