Hussein!

What the hell

are you doing in this rain?

Hurry UP!

Come inside!

Don't look at it!

Hurry up, get inside!

What is it, dear?

My mama sent me over.

I'll be late today, I have guests.

What is this film?

"Yol", it's a Kurdish film.

Sit down and watch it.

Don't talk about

this film anywhere, okay?

Nobody move!

This is what I told you about.

They watch forbidden films.

All right! - Hurry up, get up!

What the hell is this?

Don't you know it's forbidden? Asshole!

Idiot!

Dad.

Where are you from?

Ixdir.

What are you doing here?

I'm a refugee.

I'm unemployed.

I have political interests.

Are your films originals?

No Sir, they are all copies.

Do you like cinema? - I watch films.

Honestly, I like films about villages.

I like Jackie Chan, Van Damme,

action films.

Do you like cinema? - Yes, a lot.

What type of films?

Mostly Yilmaz GUney's films.

What factual films have you seen?

There are none, they're all lies!

Did you witness the Anfal genocide? - Yes.

One of my brothers was killed

in the Anfal campaign.

Where? - Here, in this fort.

My family were Anfai victims.

They brought my grandparents here.

Don't you want to play your brother,

who was murdered in this fort?

Sure, I would love to.

Imagine you and your brother

are prisoners of Saddam's army.

You've been handcuffed

and brought here to this fort.

They want to shoot

your brother in front of you.

How do you feel?

How do you react?

Long live Kurdistan!

Death to the Bdathists!

Was that okay?

Shero, why do you want to work with us?

Don't you make a good salary?

Sir, my salary isn't bad, but I want

to serve the Kurds and Kurdistan

so that people are more aware of us.

All right, Mr Shero.

You can leave now.

We'll let you know.

Okay, thanks.

Stop the casting, Basheer. It's 11.

The girl who's playing Lorin is coming.

She's not coming, Hussein. - Why not?

She contacted Hejar earlier,

said her family won't let her come.

Basheer, if you were aware of this,

why did you fill this place with men?

Hejar has been out since this morning.

Maybe he can find her.

Send them all home.

Send them home!

What should I do with them?

We still don't have a female lead

and you filled the place with extras.

Shamal, where are you Shamal?

Shamal! - Yes?

The casting is finished, it's over! - Why?

What should I do with them?

Please understand.

Gentlemen, we apologize to you all

on behalf of Kurdistan Action.

We'll call you.

Thanks for coming.

It was a pleasure.

You may all leave now. Good bye.

SOY“!-

That one is forty years old!

Come on!

Either a 24 or a 25-year-old

for the main role.

Okay. Just a minute, please.

Did you find a girl?

Six! So what are you doing here?

Everyone left.

I sent them home. Hello, hello?

Is this one no good, either?

Hejar, is this Lorin?

Tell me, is this Lorin?

I swear, Hussein,

you won't accept anyone.

These ones are not acceptable.

Look, they aren't!

Hussein, I've searched everywhere.

I could only find six.

Hussein, you won't find people

easily here. We're not in Germany.

So we just stop filming, Hejar?

Are you bringing more samples for me?

I just want to find Lorin.

What would you like to eat?

How about your cousin?

What cousin?

He has a cousin.

I think she may suit this role.

What would you like to eat?

Red meat, chicken or shish kebab?

Can't you see we're talking, Salman?

Wait a minute!

Bashir, if that's true, then cast her.

Okay.

I will.

Well, what would you like to eat?

Bring anything you like, anything.

Oh, what a good time for a tea. Thanks.

What would you like to eat?

Some good meat and rice.

Gladly.

Good afternoon.

Hello, Alan. - What's up?

Is a funeral being held?

The girl auditioning for

Lorin's role cancelled.

Yes, I know. Hejar told me.

Hussein, I have a good suggestion.

Do you see?

What's this, Alan?

Roj Azad! He's in Europe.

He's a very famous singer.

What does a singer

have to do with the film?

He's Mr Khalid's business partner.

He's coming to Kurdistan

for a big project.

We can use him in our film.

I've already talked to him on the phone.

Look at him!

Throw out all of these.

Roj Azad will play the role of Chia.

Alan, our problem is not Chia.

Our problem is Lorin's role.

We have to find her.

Marketing is important, too.

If Roj Azad plays in our film,

we'll have viewers

in all four areas of Kurdistan.

He's a musician. Can he act?

Of course, look at him.

Well done, Alan, it's a brilliant idea.

Hussein, we won't find

anyone better than her.

It took a lot to convince her mother.

Well done, Basheer.

Great. Tell her to come

sign the contract tomorrow.

Okay. - Hussein, with Roj Azad,

she'll become a Kurdish superstar.

I haven't decided anything

about Roj Azad yet.

What is the status of the camera

and the negatives?

Hejar, did you talk to Tehran?

Yes I did, everything is ready.

You are happy today.

We'll start soon.

Alan, we'll need 2000 people

for the Anfal scene.

2000 people?

You think we can fill this yard with ten?

2000, Hussein?

Know how much their food will cost us?

If you want to portray genocide,

you can't do it with 100 people.

It won't be realistic.

It's okay, we'll figure it out.

Isn't that her father?

He's here to sign the contract.

Welcome.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Go away.

What?

You dishonoured us.

How dare you film my daughter?

Leave! I don't want to

see your face again.

Asso, what are you doing?

Don't film everything.

So, Free Kurdistan

will not have electricity for nine hours.

A film about AnfaI

is in the making in Free Kurdistan, too.

The genocide

committed by Saddam and his regime

caused the deaths

of 182,000 Kurdish people.

Soon, it will be the focus

of a new film titled Anfal.

The film crew

is from all four areas of Kurdistan.

But an actress has not yet been found

for the main female role.

Hello. - Hello, welcome, my daughter.

Thanks. - Hiwa is here.

I know. I saw his car.

Hello.

Mama, didn't you want

to give up smoking?

Hello, Sinur.

What is this?

It's an LCD TV.

Full HD.

We have one,

why did you bother getting this one?

This one's different.

It's like being in a cinema.

Your tea's getting cold.

Mama, I have to go,

I've got an appointment with a friend.

See you.

Wait, let me drive you.

Thanks! Have your tea!

Excuse me, where is the film crew?

Straight down there.

Try to be more intense.

Feel it inside your heart.

I'm sorry, I scared you.

I'm looking for the film crew.

Mr Basheer, this lady wants to see you.

Okay. Take a break please,

we'll continue later.

Yes, Miss? - Hello.

Hello. - Are you the film director?

No, the director is upstairs,

let's g0 UP-

Is Hussein still here?

Yes, he is.

Basheer!

Who is this?

This way.

Hussein. - Yes.

This lady is here to see you.

Hello.

Hello.

Smut, have you ever acted

in a film before?

No, this will be my first time.

So what do you know about this film?

Only what I heard on the news.

A story about a girl during Anfal.

Do you think you can play the role?

I don't know, that's up to you.

Excuse me.

What's your profession?

I'm a teacher. - Where?

At a school for blind children.

Blind children? - Yes.

The electricity is off, as usual.

Sign a contract with this girl now.

She's very good.

What a nice one.

This one is very pretty, Mama,

I'll take it.

They'll need

your uncle's permission for this,

or you can't do it.

If you loved your son that much,

why have you gone

to the end of the world?

I'm not at the end of the world,

I'm in my country.

Do you know anything

about a father's responsibilities?

Yes, yes, I know I'm a bad father.

Sorry, Hussein.

I know you're busy, but Sinur is here.

I'm done, let her in.

Very good.

Mr Hussein, I brought these dresses.

Wonderful, now you're really Lorin.

Mr Hussein,

as I just explained to Mr Alan,

I don't have a father.

My uncle is my guardian.

So I'll need my uncle's permission

to act in your film.

In the name of God the merciful!

It's as if we're making

a marriage proposal.

This is even more difficult.

He can't refuse

if he tastes this baklava.

Good evening. - Good evening.

Is your father home?

Yes, come in.

Go in.

Greetings, how are you doing?

Good evening, Mr Hamid.

Do you know why we're here, Mr Hamid?

Tell me, please.

We are here for Sinur, your niece.

Ms. Sinur would like to play in our film,

so we're asking your permission.

We don't want

anything to do with cinema.

Sinur isn't married yet.

Let that be the end of it.

This film is about Saddam's crimes...

Don't you lecture me

about Saddam's violence,

I've experienced plenty of it.

But as I said, we don't want

anything to do with cinema.

Mr Hamid, she's like our sister.

Good, than cast your sisters

instead of Sinur.

Don't worry, guys-

My friends from Iran contacted me.

They've found experienced actresses.

They're sending us pictures of them.

If Hussein could make a decision soon,

that'd be great.

That girl was perfect, Alan.

Alan, be careful.

I'm not blind, I see it.

Why did you come here?

Who were the guys

who visited us last night?

Do you know how angry my father is now?

Why? What have I done?

Well, my father told them straight:

As long as his niece isn't married,

she won't do any such thing.

By the time the film is finished,

Hussein will have lost his mind.

Well, in Kurdistan, film-making

is not a job for sane men.

It's Sinur.

Yes. Hello, Miss Sinur.

Well, we went to your uncle,

but he refused and insulted us.

You think there's still hope?

It has a home theatre, too?

Yes, it has everything.

Hello. - Hello, Sir, how are you?

Where is your father? - He's upstairs.

Hello Mr Hamid, how are you?

Hello, welcome. Please have a seat.

I'm here for a favour. - Speak up.

My son Alan

is making a film about Anfai.

So they need your niece's help. - Yes.

My niece? - Yes.

They visited me.

What did he say?

You made me look foolish.

How?

He's a good friend.

Why didn't you say

you'd already asked him?

I'm sorry, Dad.

I didn't know he is such an idiot.

Alan!

Drink your tea.

Mr Alan, I've received photos of

three girls from Eastern Kurdistan, Iran.

Really?

Where do you plan to screen the film?

There's only one cinema in the city.

And it's being replaced by a restaurant.

What?

Newroz Cinema will be a restaurant?

Is it true you want to demolish

the cinema?

Yes, we're building a Turkish restaurant.

You have to be patient.

We're shooting a Kurdish Film here.

Where else we can screen our film?

We're losing a lot of money every day.

Come with me, I'll show you!

There are only three people here.

You call this business?

You call those films?

It's not about the films. It's the cinema

that isn't working in Kurdistan.

This is Roj Azad.

Yes, Sir. I'm fine, thank you.

How are you?

We're having a slight problem

casting the female lead.

We hope to solve the problem

in the next few days.

Nobody move!

This is what I was talking to you about.

They watch forbidden films.

All right! - Hurry up, stand up!

What the hell is this?

Don't you know it's forbidden?

Hurry up, asshole!

You hit and almost blinded him.

What if he reports you?

Do you know how long you'll be in prison?

I did it because of you.

They were trying to trick you.

What are you on about?

I'd like to be in the film.

Sinur, think about us.

I don't understand

why you want to do this.

Bring it over here.

What do you want from me, Hiwa?

You know perfectly well. - Forget it.

Why should I?

You know I've been waiting for ages.

I've told you repeatedly,

it's not going to happen.

It definitely will.

Never! We're like brother and sister

I will not let you act in that film.

It's hard to see clearly

with only one eye.

And this, too.

Five and one.

Five and one.

Here are five and here is one. - Hello.

Hello, welcome.

Excuse me, Mr Alan,

may I speak to you for a few minutes?

There's nothing to talk about,

Miss Sinur.

Hiwa is at the gate.

He wants to apologise.

No need for apologies,

and I'm not suing him either.

He gave me permission

to take part in your film.

Really? Then why did

the bastard do this?

Tm sorry, Wes Smut.

Hussein found a girl in Iran.

He's supposed to arrive tomorrow.

Hussein very much wanted you

for the leading role, but...

I'm afraid it's too late.

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

They're all liars. I know them.

You saw it too,

I was with you and it's not my fault.

Forget them.

You have to keep your promise.

I've invited a lot of friends

to our engagement.

Don't embarrass me!

Sinur.

Smut, dear...

Hand the passports to the officer.

I had a terrible dream last night.

Here are our passports, Sir.

What's this?

Film equipment. - Open it.

What's your relation to this lady?

I don't speak Persian.

We are relatives.

Where is your pass?

What kind of relatives?

We are colleagues.

Colleagues?

The lady's passport hasn't been renewed.

She can't pass.

Renewed?

This is the company contract.

I meant the police permission.

That's all we've got.

Please, officer, let us pass.

Officer.

They don't have a pass.

The lady's passport has expired.

And they don't have permission

for the equipment, but the rest can go.

Sir, please help us. Let us go.

It's not possible.

Please, let us...

Hussein, we can't pass.

What the hell is this?

We need at least one or two weeks

to get permission for the equipment.

We don't have that much time.

Roj Azad is arriving today, too.

Hussein, it seems we've one option,

and that is the smugglers' way.

Smugglers...

What? How are they supposed

to smuggle all this equipment?

Okay, then sell the car

over there as well.

It's not that good anyway. Okay.

Roj Azad has arrived.

Bye, talk to you later.

Welcome Sir, I'm Alan.

Thank you. Hello.

Welcome to Kurdistan, Sir.

How long will you be staying?

Well...

I have important business here.

I'm also playing the lead

in an upcoming film.

What else are you going to do?

Sorry. Mr Roj Azad is very tired.

Stop, leave that car alone.

Have you never seen a car before?

Get out!

Sorry for the trouble.

I've never accepted bribe money before.

Once you have arrived safely

at your destination,

send me the money

and take your car back.

No, it's okay, have a good time with it.

Hurry UP-

The horses are ready.

Tighten them up.

It's ready, Dad.

Mr Salim, I asked about the road.

They said it's safe. Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

What are you talking about?

I left a deposit for the equipment.

It's my loss if anything happens.

Kak Bewar.

How is it?

Dad, the road is clear. Let's go!

Hussein!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop! - Go, go, go!

Hussein, go back!

Dad, run!

Run! - Hush, hush!

Hussein, go! - Stop!

Stop!

Alan and Hussein are next to me.

We are all upset

about what happened to Shilan.

We'll do whatever we can.

You're welcome.

Goodbye.

What would you like to eat,

meat or chicken?

Great.

Thank God the camera

and everything else is fine.

If the girl was safely here,

I wouldn't care about the equipment.

Good, do you want

to take part in the film?

Yes, that's why I'm here.

Would you take off

your headscarf, please?

My headscarf? - Yes.

Do you mean I don't have

to wear it in the film?

Yes, this film is about Iraqi Kurdistan

and the girl doesn't wear a headscarf.

I'm afraid I can't.

I work in Iran and might lose my job.

Can I wear a hat?

What's your name? - Shilan Qawami.

Shilan, could you take off

your headscarf?

The headscarf?

If you play a role in this film

without a headscarf,

would you have problems

when you go back to Iran?

Sure, it would be a problem,

but I'm not going back to Iran.

Hi, Alan.

I forgot to tell you something.

I forgot to tell you something.

While you were in Iran,

Sinur came to me.

Her stupid cousin came along, too.

Yes p

What's wrong with you?

It's midnight. Who are you talking to?

Hussein?

It seems Sinur has convinced her family

to let her be in the film.

Yes, she has worked it all out.

Hello?

One moment please. I can't talk here.

Let me find a better place.

Come on, get off that phone!

I called countless times.

Why didn't you pick up?

How can you work with them?

I haven't told my father yet.

I can't tell him at all

before the engagement.

Congratulations. - Thank you.

Please stop playing.

The party has not started yet.

Mr Alan. - Yes, Sir?

We're very busy.

Let's cut the ribbon and go.

Yes, of course Sir,

we'll begin right now.

Stop bothering him!

Just one picture, please!

Mr Azad, are you ready? - Yes.

We're ready.

In the name

of God most merciful

we congratulate the film crew.

They are about to start shooting

a new film about the Anfal genocide.

We also welcome

the great artist, Mr Roj Azad.

Come on, DEV!

Hiwa, dance with us.

I don't want to. - Come on!

No, I don't want to.

Come on, it's a party.

Oh, come on, please.

Hussein, Sinur is wearing

a bracelet on her hand.

Can I see it?

It's okay, just take off the ring.

This one?

No problem,

she can keep the other one on.

Basheer!

Tell Alan it's late.

When do we start? - Okay.

Stop the party. - Okay!

The camera's ready.

Please look at the Peshmerga.

If he comes to shake your hand,

shake his hand! Okay?

Stand by!

Sound! - Speed!

Camera! - Rolling!

Scene 4, shot 1, take 1!

Action!

Goodbye, dear mothers.

God be with you.

Peshmerga! Let's go!

Scene 7, shot 2, take 1!

Action!

Darling, I'm sorry,

but I must leave now, but...

It's okay, do it again. - Stand by!

Darling, forgive me

for leaving you right now,

but we've been informed we're

to liberate Kurdistan from the enemy.

It's getting late, we should go.

Hussein, it's the call to prayer.

Cut!

Don't leave your places.

Wait until the Mullah is done.

Sinur!

Just a minute.

Mr Roj...

Don't get so angry.

Relax, this is your beloved.

Don't be so loud.

Mister, the enemy attacked us.

That is why I am angry.

Yes I know, but she's not a tank,

she's your beloved.

Be a bit more gentle.

Why did you let him hold your hand?

What's wrong with it? It's a film!

You don't need to hold hands.

I'll tell them now.

This is really embarrassing!

It'll be embarrassing when people

watch this film and see that.

Mr Alan!

Just a minute, please.

This is embarrassing.

Yes p

I can't accept the way

he's holding Sinur's hand.

Let him just take the bag from her.

That's not my job.

We have to ask Hussein about it.

We're ready, Mr Hussein.

Okay. Sir, let's rehearse it once.

Rehearse?

Are you questioning my acting skills?

Okay, let's shoot.

Hussein, Hiwa wants to talk to you. - Yes?

It's not necessary to hold Sinur's hand.

Have him just take the bag from her.

Hiwa, he is like her brother.

Who are you?

Sinur is my wife.

Have we done something wrong?

No! But let's leave out

the hand-holding part.

Do you know who I am? - Yes, I do.

Do you really know who I am? - Yes.

But Sinur is not one of those girls

you've used in your clips.

All right then, you do my role. I quit!

Sir, please.

Hiwa, it's embarrassing.

No, I will not work if he's here.

Sir, please calm down.

No, I won't.

What's this? - Hiwa, come.

Stop talking like that.

You told me the film is about Anfal.

It is about Anfal.

Then where is the Anfal part?

That was a romantic scene.

During Anfal a girl wanted to get married,

but then the war broke out

and she was arrested.

Why are you doing this?

You're mentioning this

for the first time.

Hiwa, why don't you go take care

of the shop?

Our wedding is only a month from now.

They don't like you hanging around.

I don't give a shit about them.

I'm not here because of them.

We don't have anaesthetic.

This song will relieve your pain.

Sir! Sir!

Sir, it's Mr Khalid.

What the fuck is that! - Hello?

Cut! - Yes.

Who let you interrupt?

He said to bring the phone

if Mr Khalid calls.

Who the hell is Mr Khalid?

He told me that.

Mr Khalid, are you close now?

Great, I'll be waiting for you.

Sir, please turn off your cell phone.

That was Mr Khalid.

Ayoub, come and take it.

Mr Alan, there's something wrong

with this film.

What? - I'm wounded at the very beginning.

This is wrong. I know this kind of work.

People won't like it, you know?

But it's your decision, your film.

Okay, Hussein, let's do it again.

Imad!

Imad! Smoke!

Everyone to your places.

I'm ready.

That's enough, you long hair,

you covered me with blood. What is this?

Enough, that's enough.

Come back.

Hussein, the sun's out again.

We'll start. - In this light?

Do you think it's tea time now?

In this kind of sunlight?

I said, start shooting.

Ready! - Standby!

Sound, Shekho. - Speed.

Camera! - A little lower...

Rolling!

Scene 10, shot 4, take 3!

Action!

Hussein, it sounds like a car is coming.

Cut!

A-ha, Mr Khalid has arrived.

Alan, help me out, please!

Shit!

Welcome, Mr Khalid. - Hello.

What have they done to you?

I'm supposed to be wounded,

I'm playing a courageous Peshmerga.

This is all for a film? - Yes!

You're always brave.

Thank you! - Our artist.

Welcome, Sir. - Hello.

Alan, I forgot to say, he can help us

with the problems with the film.

He could be very useful to us.

Yes Sir, we still need

a lot of things for the film.

Sure, ask me tomorrow. - Tomorrow?

There's a big party tomorrow.

The entire film crew is invited.

We have to continue tomorrow.

We are behind schedule.

How can you shoot without Roj Azad?

I don't understand...

Akrem, is everything ready?

Yes, Sir. Should I bring them now?

Yes, please.

Come, let me tell you something.

Over here...

Here, in this area there'll be

apartment complexes, villas.

Sum

In this area there'll be

a kindergarten and offices.

Sum

So tell me, what is it that you need?

For the Anfal scene, we need

military jeeps and other weapons.

For the film? - Yes, for the film.

I have a friend in the military.

I'll ask him to give you what you need.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Welcome to the opening ceremony

of the biggest project

in the Middle East:

The Roj Azad City Project.

And now, here is Mr Roj Azad,

who for many years

has served his country

with his great voice and songs.

Now we'll serve our people

with this project.

Mr Roj Azad, please come here.

Thank you.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

First, I would like to say

that your generosity, Mr Khalid,

has made all this possible.

Thank you.

So I would like to congratulate you.

Thank you very much.

Dear guests, for your new lives...

Roj Azad City will be your new home!

Yes, there.

Alan, I think this film

will make a million dollars worldwide.

Go up, up!

But if we had used

a well-known actress instead of Sinur,

we could have made

three million dollars.

Lower!

If not three million dollars,

we could have made at least two million.

Yes, that's it!

Basheer, reschedule Roj Azad's shots.

I want to get rid of him

as soon as possible.

Stop Hejar, enough. Thank you.

What's this, Alan? - My back is broken.

With Roj Azad around,

you'll have a heart attack, too.

What happened?

Right.

Well, with him, it'll take a year.

Hussein, be patient.

This man is important and we need him.

The entire shooting schedule

is screwed up! Everything!

Then make a new one!

We do so every day because of him.

Hussein, we still need so many things!

This man has a lot of connections,

please be patient.

Alan, he is driving me crazy!

I am sick of him!

Attention! Attention!

Attention! Attention!

Kurdistan Action 'rs currently making

a film about the Anfal genocide.

It's being directed

by Mr Hussein Hassan.

Dear patriots of this camp!

It's our duty

to support this film to its completion.

It's a national duty.

This film is about the crimes

Saddam committed

against the Kurdish people.

Everyone, please get ready.

Everyone, please get ready.

Hurry up, please.

Shall I close the door?

No, leave it open.

Everyone, please, everyone.

we're ready to start.

Sound. - Speed!

Camera! - Rolling!

What's this, water?! Move it!

Bring it here! Bring it here!

Go, go!

Action!

Get back, get back.

Sinur, come out! Sinur!

Salman, what is this

shitty fire-extinguisher?

Sinur, come on, let's go!

Why are you here, Hiwa?

They'll kill you.

Everything's fine.

Mr Hussein, we can continue.

Ismael, why were you late?

I was tired, I couldn't get up so early.

Don't be late again, you hear? - Okay.

Thank you.

How are you, Mr Mohammed?

Thanks, I'm fine.

Here you go. - Thank you very much!

There's no more money.

That's impossible.

I've paid more than 100 workers

since this morning.

I didn't know so many of you

would come today.

We want our money!

Kurdistan Action doesn't cheat anyone.

Please be patient, we'll pay all of you.

This is the lot.

Who gets paid and who doesn't?

Then why did you bring us here?

People, this film is about the Kurdish

misery, please be a little patient!

That's not possible!

Look, here's my bag!

Alan, the artwork is not finished and

the designers are running out of money.

What should we do?

We'll find a solution. Work it out.

Everybody's asking for money today!

Hello, Mr Alan.

Salim, are you here for money, too?

What money?

I have to contact Iran

about the equipment as work is so slow.

Mr Alan, the village scenes are finished.

Tomorrow we'll start at the fort,

but we'll need 1000 extras.

Impossible, we're not ready.

Shoot interior scenes instead.

Like the prison scene.

But Mr Alan, the shooting schedule

will be messed up again.

We're out of money!

Don't you think I want to shoot?

Where's Hussein?

Alan, be patient.

You don't have to do this now.

We'll figure something out.

Haci, if I wasn't in need,

I'd never sell the house for this price.

Very well. Come to my office

and sign the contract.

Don't forget the property deed.

Haci, as we already discussed,

we'll have to stay in the house

for three or four months

till we find another place.

Sure, no problem. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Come in.

Ala, bring me some tea.

What are you doing, crying?

I'll buy you a palace

once the film is finished. I promise.

Alan, I don't want a palace,

I want my own house.

Good, then I'll buy you this house back.

I promise. Just let us finish this film.

Don't tell anyone

that we've sold the house.

Dad, are we leaving this house?

No son, we're not leaving.

We're staying right here.

I'll show you. You'll see!

You refuse?

Dad listen, don't be upset.

What the hell's with that voice?

Dad, please wait, you misunderstood.

Welcome, Mr Hamid. - Move your hand!

Are you trying to dishonour me,

son of the mullah? - Don't say that.

What's going on here?

We're shooting a film.

Making a film? - Yes.

Do you have any honour?

Are you trying to dishonour me?

What are you doing here?

Answer me!

What are you doing here?

Mr Hamid! Stop it! - Leave me alone!

Stand back! Don't touch me,

you dirty Ba'athist!

Mr Hamid, I'm not a Ba'athist.

It's just a film.

I'm Kurdish, just like you.

Sinur, let's go.

Hurry up, walk in front of me.

He's a bad person, I accept that.

But how could you let her

go act in a film? Tell me!

It's because of her father

that she wants to take part in this film.

Aunty, where is the pump? Aunty?

Mama! Mama!

My daughter didn't do anything wrong.

This is a film aboutAnfai.

Have you forgotten about your brother?

Listen carefully!

If she takes part in this film,

she will not be my son's bride,

and I no longer her uncle.

Is that clear?

Everyone take your places,

ifs time to start

Get into your cars,

we' re going to start shooting again.

Nobody laugh!

You're all prisoners of Saddam's forces.

In this fort, death is waiting for you.

Come on, get in!

Get in!

Sinur!

Sinur!

Sinur!

Basheer! What?

Sinur's not here. - What?

Sinur!

No, it's fine like that.

Hussein, we're ready.

Should we start?

Sinur, get into the car, hurry!

Where's Salim?

He's on his way. - Go down, hurry!

Stand by!

Hussein, we are ready.

Sound! - Speed!

Camera! - Rolling!

Scene 13, shot 7, take 1! - Action!

Have you seen my mother?

Have you seen my mother?

Cut!

Thanks everyone, that was very good.

That will be it for today.

Everyone be here in costume

at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be your last day of work.

The buses are ready

to bring you back to the refugee camp.

Sinur.

Sinur!

Hussein.

Look!

I want to talk to you.

Do we need to talk?

You and your father have ended it all.

It's not over for me.

Alan, I'm leaving. Do you need anything?

Aren't you hungry? Come share with us.

No, I'm not hungry.

I'll eat at home.

Salim, we'll talk tomorrow.

I'll be here tomorrow.

How are you, Shekho? - I'm fine.

Excuse me, Mr Hussein.

Can you give Sinur a lift on your way?

Where is she?

Thank you.

You're welcome, good night.

Miss Sinur?

Yes? - Why destroy your life for a film?

Hussein, I've wanted to give this to you

for ages, but never had the chance.

What is it?

I would like you to read it, please.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Tomorrow morning you bring the mullah

here and divorce that girl.

I will not divorce her.

It's not your decision.

I'll neither marry nor divorce her.

She'll be in limbo forever.

I won't marry any woman!

Shut up, you idiot!

I swear to God, if you don't divorce her,

you'll never enter my house again!

Get ready everyone!

Get ready everyone!

No one look at the camera, please.

Today is the day you're freed,

after many years

of imprisonment in this place.

Now you are free!

Super! Super! - Let's go, Sir.

Bawer, hurry up.

Thanks.

Sound! - Speed!

Camera! - Rolling!

Scene 27, shot 2, take 21.

Action!

My dear Lorin, how are you?

Such a cute girl!

Whose is she?

Hussein! Where is Hussein?

Hussein!

Hurry over here!

Hussein has been murdered!

Close the gates!

Don't let anyone leave the fort!

Bring the car!

Come on, come on!

Pick him up!

Stop!

On the loading ramp!

Come on!

Go, go!

Go, go!

Hurry up, for God's sake!

Tell them to move!

They are not moving.

They've blocked the road,

he's going to die.

He's going to die, clear the way!

Move!

To this side! To this side!

Go, go!

Rewind. Take it back to the shooter.

Yes, Sir. - Sir, Hussein

is still alive, thank God.

There he is, Sir!

It's obvious.

He is very suspicious looking.

This picture is proof that this guy

had the intention to kill.

What a crowd, what chaos,

all those people in one place!

Didn't you know this might happen?

Salim, wait. Alan is coming.

I don't know, he says time has run out

and the stuff has to go back.

Wait, just wait.

Don't load the equipment.

Salim, what's wrong with you?

Our rental time has run out. - Wait, wait.

No way. I'll be in trouble.

Please wait, Alan is organising funds!

Come on! - What are you talking about?

Autumn's over, winter has already started.

We can't wait here until Nowruz.

Here's my contract for another project.

Hold on, let me call Alan.

Yes, yes, call Alan!

You're really funny.

Bring it, bring all that stuff.

Hello? Hello? Alan? - This way.

Alan, where are you?

Mr Salim is packing up and leaving.

Mr Salim, talk to Alan.

I'm trying to convince him,

but he's not listening!

Salim, wait. Please be patient.

Alan will be here in ten minutes.

I told you, I have a contract

for another project.

I can't wait here until Nowruz.

Please wait ten more minutes.

Alan is coming.

I've been waiting here for months.

Don't let them load it.

It's Alan's father.

Don't let them load it.

Wait, wait please.

Hello, how are you? - Bring that rope.

Salim wait, let's reach an arrangement.

What kind of arrangement?

What's the use of an arrangement?

Come inside,

he's on his way now. Go ahead.

Don't let them take the equipment.

Salim, let's go inside.

Leave it for now, please.

Alan will be here in ten minutes.

Leave it for now, I'll be right back.

Don't load it up.

Calm down please.

Here is Mr Alan.

Salim, what's wrong with you?

Why are you stressing us out?

Why stress? That's no way to work.

How else? - Mr Alan,

your father and Uncle Hamid have arrived.

Okay, wait, we'll talk.

Welcome. - Thank you.

Hello, son.

Mr Alan... - Yes.

I've brought you this money

as compensation for losses suffered.

He is the only son I have.

If Hussein doesn't forgive him in court,

he'll spend the rest

of his life in prison.

Your son has crippled Hussein.

Is he to be released

so that he can kill one of us, too?

Dear son,

don't let Hamid down.

I'm sorry, Dad. I can't.

If you don't accept this,

you're no longer my son.

And this is another problem.

Yes, Sir.

Yes.

Sinur, did you go back to the school?

No, not yet.

I want the film to be finished first.

Film?

I'm sorry, Sinur. I didn't have a chance

to read it until I came here.

The seven-year-old with parents

in the fort was you, right?

Yes.

Your father was killed

in the same prison that we were in?

A few days ago...

I saw my father's handwriting

on the wall.

Mr Khalid is being very generous and

is ready to support this film to its end.

Really? Thank you so much, Sir.

On one condition.

Go ahead.

Well, your director is in the hospital...

Our great artist Roj Azad

is ready to direct this film.

Well, Sir...

I don't know what to say.

What?

What, Roj Azad directs the film?

Hussein is unable to work.

How will he manage to finish this film?

Not finishing is better than this.

How is it better?

That man will ruin the film!

He's a director.

Haven't you seen his music videos?

You know nothing

about filmmaking. - Nothing?

You still can't tell the difference

between a film and a music video.

Right, you alone know.

Alan and I know nothing?

Why are you so sensitive?

It's not certain that the shoot is off.

Okay, I'll talk to Hussein about it.

But nobody tells him anything until I do.

I don't think Hussein will accept it.

I know what's with you,

you'd like to take Hussein's place.

That's not true,

but I know what Hussein has in mind.

Yeah, course, you do.

Excuse me, Alan.

I have to go.

Wait! Where are you going? - Bye.

Excuse me, I must go, too.

Look, the bullet severed blood vessels

and hit a bone.

He'll probably be in hospital for a month.

Even when he is out,

he probably won't be able to walk.

Does he have a chance?

I hope I'm wrong.

Excuse me, Doctor.

Hussein, I should start

with this scene, right?

Yes. I've changed its end, I'll...

Hello.

Hello.

Welcome, Alan.

Thanks.

Basheer, the smoke and dust

should be there in any case.

In the close shots, too.

How nice.

You've turned this place

into the directing office.

For this shot,

you can use Asso's camera.

For continuity.

Hussein?

Are you trying to be Yilmaz GUney?

He directed his film from prison,

you from the hospital?

And this is your Serif Géren, right?

And you, tell us how you brought in

a singer to direct a film.

Hussein, this singer wants to give us

money to finish our film.

Is money your problem, Alan?

Take it!

Go and finish the film.

Where did you get this money?

From Hiwa's father. - How is that?

So you agreed!

Yes, I agreed and signed

to get him out of prison.

Why, Hussein?

WhY did you agree?

My father came to me, too,

but I turned him down.

How could you agree

to release that murderer?

I can't accept

that Hiwa destroyed me,

and now you want

Roj Azad to destroy the film.

So you just sold out, right?

Yes, I did.

My blood money

is better than Khalid's money.

Very good!

Hurry, it's getting late.

Please be ready. Silence please.

Get ready.

You're going to win an Oscar, Mr Director.

Sound! - Speed!

Camera! - Rolling!

Scene 27, shot 2, take 2!

Action!

How are you, my Lorin?

Such a cute baby!

Whose is it?

Cut!

Enough already!

If you want to see your son,

come and see him at long last.

It's okay...

I'm coming.

See you when you get here.

WE BUILD YOUR HOME ROJ AZAD CITY

Good evening. - Hello.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

First, a moment's silence for the souls

of Kurdistan's martyrs

and of the Anfal victims.

Take your seats, please.

And now, welcome

to the premiere of "Anfal",

as directed by Hussein Hassan.

Hope you enjoy it. Thank you.

Peshmerga! Let's go!

Please wait, stay in your seats.

Open that door.

What happened, Rekesh?

It's out of order!

Alan, what is this?

Don't you have a generator?

We do, we bought a new one.

Gee, even though the film is made,

our troubles never cease.

Hurry up, everyone is leaving!

What happened? - It's not working.

How is that?

It's bad diesel. - How is it bad?

I often told you, use good diesel!

All gas stations put water in the fuel.

What am I to do?

Excuse us, Sir.

Hurry up. - I am!

Hurry up, everyone is leaving.

Should we go?

Mr Alan, go take care of our guests.

Repair it quickly.
