00:02:43.365 --> 00:02:47.325
Oh, crazy brothers!

00:02:47.485 --> 00:02:50.645
Crazy brothers!

00:02:50.805 --> 00:02:54.605
Oh, crazy brothers!

00:02:54.765 --> 00:02:58.125
Crazy brothers!

00:02:58.325 --> 00:03:01.245
Foolish, crazy and ignorant

00:03:01.285 --> 00:03:05.085
is the one

00:03:05.245 --> 00:03:09.525
that builds a house

00:03:09.685 --> 00:03:13.245
in this vain life

00:03:13.445 --> 00:03:19.805
and wishes to repair these ruins.

00:03:19.925 --> 00:03:26.845
Weren’t it for the crazy thing,

00:03:27.005 --> 00:03:29.005
who would want

00:03:29.165 --> 00:03:34.965
to build a house on a bridge?

00:03:36.765 --> 00:03:38.845
Thank you very much.
-Thank you.

00:03:41.325 --> 00:03:43.125
I’ll take that away from you.

00:03:45.685 --> 00:03:48.405
Come, I’ll take that away from you.

00:03:48.565 --> 00:03:50.005
Are we done?
-Yes, we are.

00:03:59.205 --> 00:04:01.285
Could you...?

00:04:01.445 --> 00:04:04.845
Could you bring me the top of...?

00:04:05.005 --> 00:04:06.205
Of what?

00:04:13.725 --> 00:04:17.085
Could you also break the other part,
brother Shapur?

00:04:17.245 --> 00:04:19.405
Please, break the remaining part.

00:04:19.565 --> 00:04:21.085
This one?
-Yes, yes.

00:04:22.205 --> 00:04:25.325
Just the top part.
Wait, I’ll help you.

00:05:35.165 --> 00:05:41.885
TEHRAN BLUES

00:07:05.525 --> 00:07:07.325
3800.

00:07:11.725 --> 00:07:13.965
Already from the nest

00:07:14.125 --> 00:07:14.965
Thank you.

00:07:15.085 --> 00:07:18.125
I’m flying to you.

00:07:18.325 --> 00:07:21.525
Release me from my cage,

00:07:21.685 --> 00:07:24.925
so that I don’t die of sadness.

00:07:25.045 --> 00:07:28.485
That’s the song of sadness

00:07:28.605 --> 00:07:31.725
on my lips.

00:07:31.845 --> 00:07:35.325
Or it’s a song of loneliness

00:07:35.445 --> 00:07:37.965
that accompanies me
through the night.

00:07:38.085 --> 00:07:41.125
In the hope of your voice

00:07:41.325 --> 00:07:44.405
I’m coming to you.

00:07:44.565 --> 00:07:47.685
What a voice it is

00:07:47.805 --> 00:07:51.005
that nourishes
any heart with music.

00:12:20.605 --> 00:12:27.805
My sorrowful heart.

00:12:29.765 --> 00:12:34.045
What instrument

00:12:34.165 --> 00:12:41.205
did the minstrel play in that tone?

00:12:42.365 --> 00:12:45.125
Years went by and...

00:12:47.445 --> 00:12:49.325
Years went by and...

00:14:05.565 --> 00:14:07.685
I’m Erfan from Rash.

00:14:07.805 --> 00:14:11.005
My partner Afraz and I

00:14:11.125 --> 00:14:12.685
form the group GAS,

00:14:12.765 --> 00:14:14.845
a street band

00:14:15.005 --> 00:14:18.245
with two years’ experience
playing in Rasht.

00:14:18.365 --> 00:14:23.245
In my opinion, music is the art

00:14:23.365 --> 00:14:28.285
that can attract people
more easily than other arts.

00:14:28.725 --> 00:14:33.565
A painting can’t be seen in the dark.

00:14:33.685 --> 00:14:37.765
Music can be heard
even behind a wall.

00:14:39.285 --> 00:14:42.565
The effect of music is better,

00:14:42.685 --> 00:14:46.125
greater than that of other arts.

00:14:48.805 --> 00:14:53.285
For today, we prepared a song

00:14:53.405 --> 00:14:55.645
called ‘Waltz for a Friday Bazaar’.

00:14:55.765 --> 00:14:59.085
The composer is
the master Ahmad Achurpouri.

00:14:59.245 --> 00:15:03.685
It is a traditional song
with the poetry of our Sartip-Pour

00:15:03.765 --> 00:15:06.005
and the voice of Ahmad Achurpouri.

00:15:06.125 --> 00:15:09.085
A theme inspired
by an Austrian waltz.

00:15:10.285 --> 00:15:14.085
We are here, above all,

00:15:14.285 --> 00:15:16.645
to show better

00:15:16.725 --> 00:15:19.525
the street music we make in Rasht.

00:15:19.645 --> 00:15:22.885
We’d like to change
the negative feelings of Iranians

00:15:23.005 --> 00:15:24.965
towards this kind of music.

00:15:25.125 --> 00:15:29.365
The people of Rasht
look at us sideways,

00:15:29.485 --> 00:15:34.565
in a humiliating,
and sarcastic way.

00:15:55.045 --> 00:15:58.925
The sounds and music
of the drums of the Friday market

00:15:59.125 --> 00:16:02.565
stir my heart, they stir my heart.

00:16:02.845 --> 00:16:06.685
The crowded square
and the joy of meeting you

00:16:06.925 --> 00:16:10.485
stir my heart, they stir my heart.

00:16:11.045 --> 00:16:13.325
As soon as I come,

00:16:13.365 --> 00:16:14.565
your cheeks blush.

00:16:14.765 --> 00:16:17.645
Why am I speechless again?

00:16:18.805 --> 00:16:22.365
I walk away
and the shadow falls on your cheeks.

00:16:22.645 --> 00:16:26.205
Why am I speechless again?

00:16:26.485 --> 00:16:30.565
I spend the night
planning a thousand ways

00:16:30.725 --> 00:16:34.325
to undo this knot.

00:16:34.445 --> 00:16:38.205
But when I see in the daytime
the coquetry of your eyes,

00:16:38.485 --> 00:16:41.885
I’m mute and I can’t open my mouth.

00:16:42.365 --> 00:16:46.325
I’m like you, you’re like me.
What will become of us in the end?

00:16:46.445 --> 00:16:50.245
When will we dare?
Who will say the first word?

00:16:50.405 --> 00:16:54.245
Let it be what it has to be.
In this meeting I’ll say...

00:16:54.405 --> 00:16:56.085
In this meeting I’ll say...

00:16:56.245 --> 00:17:01.045
that I regret many things.

00:17:32.325 --> 00:17:34.165
Hello, sir.

00:17:34.925 --> 00:17:38.365
How can these potatoes cost
6000 tomans and the others 7500?

00:17:38.565 --> 00:17:44.365
These are worth 6000, and these 7500
and they’re better than the others.

00:17:44.525 --> 00:17:46.325
Okay, I’ll take the best ones.

00:17:46.525 --> 00:17:48.085
As you wish.

00:17:48.285 --> 00:17:50.685
May I choose?
-Of course.

00:17:51.285 --> 00:17:53.885
Why do you sell
only potatoes and onions?

00:17:54.045 --> 00:17:57.485
I only have that.

00:17:57.685 --> 00:17:59.685
And can you live off it?

00:17:59.845 --> 00:18:03.045
Yes, I can.
And I thank God for that.

00:18:03.285 --> 00:18:04.685
Congratulations.

00:18:05.485 --> 00:18:09.125
People come here from all over,
from different towns.

00:18:09.325 --> 00:18:11.965
And from those
who come from other cities,

00:18:12.125 --> 00:18:15.605
do you have
any special memories or anecdotes?

00:18:15.725 --> 00:18:18.125
They have their memories.

00:18:18.325 --> 00:18:22.685
And those who come from other cities
they take memories with them.

00:18:22.925 --> 00:18:26.325
I hope you’ll always fine.
-We’re here for you.

00:18:26.565 --> 00:18:28.685
Hi, I’m Pezhman.

00:18:28.965 --> 00:18:32.285
Sina and I are a duo.

00:18:32.405 --> 00:18:35.125
I’m from Mahabad.

00:18:35.245 --> 00:18:40.125
We studied music
at Rasht conservatory.

00:18:41.805 --> 00:18:46.045
I think music
is the sound and language of love.

00:18:46.285 --> 00:18:48.485
It’s the sound that makes

00:18:49.285 --> 00:18:54.325
feelings flourish,

00:18:54.525 --> 00:19:00.365
regardless of people’s
ways of thinking.

00:19:02.405 --> 00:19:06.405
Opinions and ideas
are kept apart by music,

00:19:06.525 --> 00:19:09.605
they all meet around one thing.

00:19:09.725 --> 00:19:13.245
Somehow, music brings them together.

00:19:13.405 --> 00:19:18.605
That is why I love music

00:19:18.725 --> 00:19:23.125
and I feel happy
to work in this field.

00:19:23.245 --> 00:19:27.125
The song
we are going to play here today

00:19:27.285 --> 00:19:30.045
has to do

00:19:30.165 --> 00:19:35.845
with the roots of our music.

00:19:36.125 --> 00:19:38.565
The song that Sina
is going to perform

00:19:38.685 --> 00:19:44.645
belongs to one of the branches
of our music that is being forgotten.

00:19:45.045 --> 00:19:48.445
We have tried to preserve this song

00:19:48.565 --> 00:19:53.645
because it is one of our trademarks

00:19:53.765 --> 00:19:57.565
and it is being forgotten.

00:19:57.725 --> 00:20:01.965
Next, we are going
to perform a ‘tasnis’

00:20:02.125 --> 00:20:06.245
called ‘The Spring... Lovely’.

00:20:06.365 --> 00:20:09.365
‘The Lovely Spring’.

00:20:09.525 --> 00:20:10.765
Sorry I was wrong.

00:20:12.445 --> 00:20:14.205
It’s by Ruholah Khalegi.

00:20:54.565 --> 00:20:59.005
Come and see my amazement.

00:20:59.405 --> 00:21:03.925
Break the silence of my loneliness.

00:21:04.325 --> 00:21:09.005
Like a lonely tulip,

00:21:09.245 --> 00:21:13.845
my face is burning with pain.

00:21:14.125 --> 00:21:18.445
Your face is my mirror.

00:21:19.045 --> 00:21:23.805
Your love is my old sadness.

00:21:24.045 --> 00:21:28.445
Come like a flower this spring.

00:21:28.845 --> 00:21:33.245
Rest your head on my chest

00:21:33.725 --> 00:21:37.765
so that the friendly spring

00:21:37.925 --> 00:21:42.725
can come on out to the green.

00:21:43.645 --> 00:21:47.605
Oh, springtime of desire,

00:21:47.845 --> 00:21:52.925
tuck me in with your shadow.

00:21:53.605 --> 00:21:57.405
Like the breeze of a new spring

00:21:57.685 --> 00:22:02.845
comes by my house

00:22:03.405 --> 00:22:08.205
so it is filled with flowers,

00:22:08.325 --> 00:22:16.605
my ruined house.

00:22:17.765 --> 00:22:24.325
When we have the seeds,
the sowing will be our task.

00:22:24.805 --> 00:22:31.405
The time of the fields has come,
let’s thank God.

00:22:31.685 --> 00:22:35.405
The labours of God are beautiful.

00:22:35.565 --> 00:22:38.685
Prepare for the fields

00:22:39.685 --> 00:22:43.405
emerging
from the dark and wet ground.

00:22:43.525 --> 00:22:46.245
Look how the grain has grown.

00:22:46.445 --> 00:22:49.925
emerging
from the dark and wet ground.

00:22:50.085 --> 00:22:53.205
Look how the grain has grown.

00:22:53.325 --> 00:22:56.725
Our warehouse is full.

00:22:56.885 --> 00:22:59.525
Look how the grain has grown.

00:22:59.725 --> 00:23:03.405
It’s the power of God.

00:23:03.565 --> 00:23:07.005
Look how the grain has grown.

00:23:07.165 --> 00:23:10.565
The thirteenth day
of the new year has come.

00:23:10.725 --> 00:23:13.685
Carry the rice seeds to the seedbed.

00:23:13.965 --> 00:23:20.605
When we have the seeds,
the sowing will be our task.

00:23:20.685 --> 00:23:27.565
The time of the fields has come,
and let’s thank God.

00:23:27.725 --> 00:23:34.965
The labours of God are beautiful.
Prepare for the fields.

00:24:26.645 --> 00:24:31.405
You’re like

00:24:31.445 --> 00:24:37.365
a sea of sadness for me.

00:24:37.725 --> 00:24:42.045
In this sea, don’t go far

00:24:42.205 --> 00:24:44.845
like a ship under full sail.

00:24:45.125 --> 00:24:51.485
The immensity
of this sea of sadness

00:24:51.645 --> 00:24:57.845
hurts my heart.

00:24:58.885 --> 00:25:05.685
In spring

00:25:05.805 --> 00:25:12.205
the mockingbird

00:25:12.725 --> 00:25:19.605
doesn’t sing for me anymore.

00:25:20.765 --> 00:25:27.125
There are no more sprouts left.

00:25:27.685 --> 00:25:33.725
No flower buds for me.

00:25:34.485 --> 00:25:40.805
Fragrant flower

00:25:41.605 --> 00:25:45.765
from my heart.

00:25:46.005 --> 00:25:56.085
The turtledove is sad.

00:25:56.405 --> 00:26:02.205
She flies with the moan

00:26:02.725 --> 00:26:07.085
of the Talesh’s ney.

00:26:07.445 --> 00:26:12.525
Down the low hill
from the village of Vazmi.

00:26:13.165 --> 00:26:17.885
She walks gently towards me.

00:26:18.205 --> 00:26:22.765
She goes back and gets some basil
and an aromatic flower of Moshkovash.

00:26:23.045 --> 00:26:25.365
Congratulations!

00:26:25.685 --> 00:26:27.245
Congratulations!

00:26:27.525 --> 00:26:32.245
Congratulations to all of you!
Congratulations to all!

00:26:32.485 --> 00:26:37.565
Congratulations! Congratulations!

00:26:41.725 --> 00:26:47.845
Your hat has beautiful pleats,
and it’s made of thermos.

00:26:48.085 --> 00:26:50.325
Walk towards
the green square of the wedding.

00:26:50.645 --> 00:26:56.805
Your mother blesses you,
my brother, your sister blesses you.

00:26:59.685 --> 00:27:00.805
Good morning.
-Hello.

00:27:00.885 --> 00:27:03.445
Thanks for the performance.
-I wish you health.

00:27:03.685 --> 00:27:06.565
How’s the work going?
-Fine, thank you.

00:27:06.645 --> 00:27:09.965
You have a bag and a sickle.

00:27:10.085 --> 00:27:12.925
I’ve a cow and I gather straw
and take a walk around my farm.

00:27:13.085 --> 00:27:14.125
That’s great.

00:27:14.285 --> 00:27:17.125
I saw you were all here
and I came to say hello.

00:27:17.285 --> 00:27:19.125
Thank you very much.
-God bless you.

00:27:19.245 --> 00:27:21.685
God bless all musicians.

00:27:21.925 --> 00:27:23.205
Thank you very much.

00:27:26.725 --> 00:27:29.125
Music is a language.

00:27:29.765 --> 00:27:35.005
It is a code and anyone,
of whatever culture and geography,

00:27:35.645 --> 00:27:42.365
when they become familiar
with its internal structure,

00:27:42.605 --> 00:27:45.245
after the learning process,

00:27:46.325 --> 00:27:49.645
with practice
and after many exercises,

00:27:50.085 --> 00:27:52.925
can find their own voice.

00:27:53.005 --> 00:27:57.645
And I can say that the music
is the expression of feelings.

00:27:58.045 --> 00:28:01.485
People can express themselves

00:28:02.125 --> 00:28:06.565
through the music
and the melodies they compose.

00:28:08.445 --> 00:28:11.565
The song we have chosen to play here

00:28:11.685 --> 00:28:17.525
is by a well-known Iranian artist,

00:28:17.885 --> 00:28:19.925
Mohammad Javad Zarrabian.

00:28:20.085 --> 00:28:23.525
It is called
‘The Happiness of the Friend’,

00:28:23.645 --> 00:28:27.005
and it is composed in Segah.

00:28:27.165 --> 00:28:31.245
The lyrics were also composed
by Mohammad Javad Zarrabian.

00:29:28.565 --> 00:29:31.285
Your smiling mouth

00:29:31.445 --> 00:29:33.765
and the gleam in your eye

00:29:34.045 --> 00:29:37.525
stole the stillness

00:29:37.645 --> 00:29:41.365
of my heart in love.

00:29:41.725 --> 00:29:44.245
Poor me.

00:29:44.645 --> 00:29:47.965
Don’t cause me any more grief,

00:29:48.285 --> 00:29:50.285
my love.

00:29:56.365 --> 00:29:59.165
Oh, flower of love.

00:29:59.365 --> 00:30:01.645
A graceful cypress.

00:30:01.925 --> 00:30:08.165
You are light in my dark night.

00:30:09.565 --> 00:30:12.445
Oh, the idol of China and Jotan.

00:30:12.565 --> 00:30:18.685
You breathe my soul and life
and you steal my heart.

00:30:25.205 --> 00:30:31.445
You set my heart on fire.

00:30:31.805 --> 00:30:34.485
Poor me, poor my heart.

00:30:34.725 --> 00:30:39.965
Life without you is vain.

00:30:40.285 --> 00:30:46.405
My heart is alienated,
what am I going to do with it?

00:30:57.005 --> 00:31:01.005
I’m intoxicated by your eyes,

00:31:01.365 --> 00:31:05.445
your black eyes.

00:31:05.765 --> 00:31:11.045
All the time
you’re down in your hole.

00:31:11.405 --> 00:31:13.005
Oh, idol!

00:31:13.125 --> 00:31:17.285
Lost I seek the path to you.

00:31:58.125 --> 00:32:01.005
I have a son
who is a pain in the neck.

00:32:01.125 --> 00:32:03.885
But then I have four daughters.

00:32:04.005 --> 00:32:06.765
I wish
all my children had been girls.

00:32:07.005 --> 00:32:10.045
Girls score 100%
and boys don’t even reach 1%.

00:32:10.605 --> 00:32:12.085
As God is my witness,

00:32:13.405 --> 00:32:16.605
I am saying this from my heart.

00:32:17.205 --> 00:32:21.005
I wish
I had only daughters and no sons.

00:32:25.645 --> 00:32:29.085
In inheritance, men get two parts
while women one.

00:32:29.365 --> 00:32:34.445
One for the girl,
two for the boy.

00:32:48.845 --> 00:32:50.365
It is like that in Iran.

00:32:50.925 --> 00:32:56.405
But I would like it to be
the same for the sons and daughters.

00:32:57.325 --> 00:32:59.125
I’ve made clear in my will.

00:32:59.245 --> 00:33:02.085
Today, tomorrow or in two days,
I’ll do it like this.

00:33:25.045 --> 00:33:28.925
If Shah was good, he’d have stayed.
Why did he leave?

00:33:32.325 --> 00:33:35.805
If Shah was good, he’d have stayed.
Why did he leave?

00:33:49.285 --> 00:33:50.765
The truth is...

00:33:51.325 --> 00:33:56.605
Regarding science,
we’ve made a great progress,

00:33:57.125 --> 00:34:02.365
But we have too many problems
and too many difficulties.

00:34:04.445 --> 00:34:06.765
Without all these conflicts
we’d be better off.

00:34:06.925 --> 00:34:09.845
Iran made a lot of progress,
but what a pity!

00:34:10.525 --> 00:34:14.365
Regarding the future,

00:34:14.725 --> 00:34:17.525
what I’m worried about
is my grandchildren.

00:34:17.805 --> 00:34:20.165
What will their future be like?

00:34:26.445 --> 00:34:28.085
Love isn’t...

00:34:28.245 --> 00:34:31.525
Love is not sleeping and getting up.

00:34:32.245 --> 00:34:34.445
Love is everything.

00:34:36.885 --> 00:34:38.085
Love is everything.

00:34:38.245 --> 00:34:41.965
If I go to bed
and tomorrow I have nothing to eat,

00:34:42.125 --> 00:34:43.725
what does love mean?

00:34:43.845 --> 00:34:45.405
Anything.

00:34:45.525 --> 00:34:48.725
Love with work, with all that,
what does it mean?

00:34:50.205 --> 00:34:54.325
If you’re in love but tomorrow
you have nothing to eat, what?

00:34:55.485 --> 00:35:00.205
Separate ways? Is that okay?
It doesn’t make any sense.

00:35:12.165 --> 00:35:14.525
Some time ago there was no love.

00:35:14.765 --> 00:35:17.005
Our parents were going to propose.

00:35:17.165 --> 00:35:20.365
They told me: ‘you marry her’,
and I did.

00:35:20.485 --> 00:35:22.285
I didn’t fall in love.

00:35:22.645 --> 00:35:25.565
Our parents would tell us
she was fine and we’d say okay,

00:35:25.685 --> 00:35:28.045
as they wished.

00:35:31.685 --> 00:35:35.045
We had six kids.
One died, now we have five.

00:35:35.165 --> 00:35:37.125
Four girls and a boy.

00:35:40.965 --> 00:35:46.925
I’m 67
and I’ve already lived my life.

00:35:47.205 --> 00:35:49.725
But what will the future
of my son be like?

00:35:49.845 --> 00:35:53.605
Who will he marry?
How will he earn his living?

00:35:55.245 --> 00:35:57.205
I think he has no future.

00:35:58.005 --> 00:36:02.885
We may have made great strides
in science, but not in the rest.

00:36:03.005 --> 00:36:06.725
Prices have risen so much
without thinking of consequences.

00:36:06.885 --> 00:36:09.205
Our government has to do
something about it.

00:36:09.325 --> 00:36:12.925
You’re going to buy some beans
and they’re very expensive.

00:36:13.965 --> 00:36:18.365
Detergent, from 500 tomans
has gone up to 5000 or 6000.

00:36:18.645 --> 00:36:20.565
Who can live on these prices?

00:36:20.685 --> 00:36:23.805
I have a pensioner’s allowance
of a million tomans.

00:36:24.365 --> 00:36:28.285
Do you think I can support
my family every month with that?

00:36:28.565 --> 00:36:32.245
Neither a couple without children.

00:36:32.565 --> 00:36:35.325
We can live because I work hard.

00:36:35.605 --> 00:36:38.245
I get 40,000 or 100,000
or 200,000 tomans a day.

00:36:38.845 --> 00:36:41.925
But what about those
who only have a pension?

00:36:46.845 --> 00:36:50.365
But it’s true we’ve made
a lot of progress, really.

00:36:51.605 --> 00:36:55.685
I don’t think America would come,
their ships will soon sink.

00:36:56.245 --> 00:36:59.405
For God’s sake,
their ships will end up sunk deep.

00:37:00.205 --> 00:37:03.725
Iran has made progress,

00:37:03.845 --> 00:37:05.245
but is it worth?

00:37:05.405 --> 00:37:08.085
We are not given...

00:37:09.205 --> 00:37:10.965
This is our weak point.

00:37:16.725 --> 00:37:21.205
The day my son was born
I don’t remember the exact date,

00:37:21.365 --> 00:37:24.285
but it was the best day of my life.

00:37:24.445 --> 00:37:28.365
I remember he was born
at ten or eleven o’clock at night.

00:37:28.605 --> 00:37:33.765
The village midwife came

00:37:33.885 --> 00:37:36.845
and separated him from his mother.

00:37:36.965 --> 00:37:39.845
He had suffocation symptoms.

00:37:39.965 --> 00:37:43.685
We did everything we could
and we prayed to God and the prophet,

00:37:43.845 --> 00:37:46.725
that he came out.

00:37:46.885 --> 00:37:48.765
Safe and sound.

00:37:49.125 --> 00:37:52.725
So God gave it to us, and then...

00:37:53.685 --> 00:37:55.085
When my son grew up,

00:37:55.565 --> 00:37:59.325
we told him to study.
There’s nothing better than studying.

00:37:59.445 --> 00:38:02.805
Later, when he was young,
he joined the Red Crescent Movement.

00:38:03.125 --> 00:38:07.445
To get there there’s a good hill.

00:38:08.325 --> 00:38:12.485
He walked to Sangachin,

00:38:12.765 --> 00:38:15.205
his work was there.

00:38:15.485 --> 00:38:18.685
He would walk back
even when it was snowing.

00:38:19.845 --> 00:38:24.845
He was once
in the mountains for two weeks.

00:38:25.285 --> 00:38:28.845
Two cars had gone there
with guest visitors,

00:38:28.965 --> 00:38:32.885
the way you came,
and he was with them.

00:38:33.925 --> 00:38:39.165
They were after Guisum,
on that road by the sea,

00:38:39.685 --> 00:38:41.765
which is very narrow.

00:38:43.045 --> 00:38:47.245
He was asleep in the ambulance
because he was tired.

00:38:47.365 --> 00:38:51.165
Suddenly the ambulance
rolled ten, fifteen times.

00:38:51.285 --> 00:38:53.285
My son died.

00:38:53.485 --> 00:38:54.725
My dear mother-in-law.

00:38:55.125 --> 00:38:56.765
She’s old like a house.
Yeah!

00:38:56.925 --> 00:38:58.725
Mother of my girlfriend.
Yes!

00:38:58.845 --> 00:39:02.125
I’ve come to marry my wife.

00:39:02.245 --> 00:39:03.965
No, no, I’m not giving her to you.

00:39:04.085 --> 00:39:06.045
Why don’t you give her to me?

00:39:06.165 --> 00:39:07.805
Because I want gold in return.

00:39:07.925 --> 00:39:10.885
It’s easy for me to buy gold.

00:39:11.005 --> 00:39:13.325
I’ll tell my mum to bring you some.

00:39:13.485 --> 00:39:16.725
Give me some time,
I’m very busy these days.

00:39:17.205 --> 00:39:19.125
My dear mother in law.
-Yeah!

00:39:19.245 --> 00:39:20.925
She’s old like a house.
-Yeah!

00:39:21.085 --> 00:39:23.005
Mother of my girlfriend.
-Yeah!

00:39:23.125 --> 00:39:26.325
I’ve come to marry my wife.

00:39:26.485 --> 00:39:28.205
No, no, I’m not giving her to you.

00:39:28.325 --> 00:39:30.125
Why don’t you give her to me?

00:39:30.285 --> 00:39:31.925
Because I want gold in return.

00:39:32.045 --> 00:39:34.805
It’s easy for me to buy gold.

00:39:34.845 --> 00:39:37.765
I’ll tell my mum to bring you some.

00:39:37.885 --> 00:39:41.485
Give me some time,
I’m very busy these days.

00:39:41.565 --> 00:39:43.165
My dear mother-in-law.

00:39:44.365 --> 00:39:46.205
She’s old like a house.

00:39:46.405 --> 00:39:48.285
Mother of my girlfriend.

00:39:48.725 --> 00:39:52.605
I’ve come to marry my wife.

00:39:53.085 --> 00:39:54.165
Was it good?

00:39:59.245 --> 00:40:00.245
Hi.

00:40:00.325 --> 00:40:04.565
I’m Golmehr Alami,
I’m into traditional Iranian songs.

00:40:04.685 --> 00:40:07.125
I’ve come from Sari to Rasht.

00:40:07.245 --> 00:40:09.325
I’m a music student.

00:40:09.605 --> 00:40:12.125
Singing is my life.

00:40:12.245 --> 00:40:15.125
It has always been
the set of my inner emotions,

00:40:15.245 --> 00:40:17.765
a blend of sadness and happiness.

00:40:17.925 --> 00:40:21.605
If I sing painfully,
it is due to my inner sadness.

00:40:21.725 --> 00:40:24.685
If happy, it is due to the happiness
singing causes me.

00:40:24.805 --> 00:40:26.365
And so I sing to life.

00:40:26.645 --> 00:40:31.365
For years, women in Iran
have been forbidden to sing.

00:40:31.645 --> 00:40:35.285
That gives my voice
more sadness, more pain,

00:40:35.445 --> 00:40:36.765
even though I’m happy.

00:40:36.885 --> 00:40:41.685
There’s more pain
because it’s been years

00:40:41.805 --> 00:40:46.365
since we’ve heard women sing, never.

00:40:46.605 --> 00:40:50.685
Even though all the men
and women in this country

00:40:50.805 --> 00:40:52.845
were raised
on their mothers’ singing.

00:40:53.005 --> 00:40:56.285
They’ve grown up, gone to sleep,
and woken up with them.

00:40:56.445 --> 00:40:59.165
And now,
that is no longer heard in Iran.

00:40:59.285 --> 00:41:03.645
The song I have chosen today
is a Dastih song,

00:41:03.805 --> 00:41:08.445
as Dastih keeps
the tone of sadness and pain

00:41:08.685 --> 00:41:11.365
I feel inside.

00:41:11.645 --> 00:41:13.765
That’s why I chose
this kind of music.

00:41:13.925 --> 00:41:17.485
What I’m going to sing
I’ll do it in my own style,

00:41:17.725 --> 00:41:23.285
because, as always,
I want to sing what’s in my heart.

00:41:23.685 --> 00:41:26.885
I’m here only

00:41:27.245 --> 00:41:32.565
to say that women
should be able to sing

00:41:33.125 --> 00:41:37.885
and that women’s songs are not evil.

00:41:38.045 --> 00:41:41.405
They have to make songs
of their sorrows and loneliness;

00:41:41.685 --> 00:41:45.445
so that these do not remain in tears.
To sing them, to set them free.

00:41:45.725 --> 00:41:49.925
For their own emotional calm
and because they’ve built everything:

00:41:50.045 --> 00:41:54.045
children, work and life,
with their songs.

00:41:54.205 --> 00:41:56.205
They’ve hummed and sung
with their love

00:41:56.365 --> 00:41:59.725
and it’s very sad that now
their voices have been silenced.

00:41:59.845 --> 00:42:00.845
Thank you.

00:42:05.205 --> 00:42:06.205
My mate.

00:42:11.085 --> 00:42:12.085
My mate.

00:42:45.645 --> 00:42:50.045
I see no rejoicing intentions

00:42:50.245 --> 00:42:54.445
in anyone.

00:42:56.165 --> 00:43:00.165
Nor cure for the heart.

00:43:01.165 --> 00:43:04.285
Nor cure for the heart.

00:43:04.485 --> 00:43:10.645
Nor will for the faith.

00:43:13.005 --> 00:43:14.005
My mate.

00:43:23.165 --> 00:43:24.165
My mate.

00:43:41.445 --> 00:43:42.445
My mate.

00:43:58.405 --> 00:43:59.405
My mate.

00:44:09.205 --> 00:44:10.205
of my heart.

00:44:15.885 --> 00:44:16.885
My mate

00:44:22.885 --> 00:44:23.885
of my heart.

00:44:30.405 --> 00:44:31.405
My mate.

00:45:05.765 --> 00:45:08.365
I really don’t know why I’m here.

00:45:08.485 --> 00:45:11.325
Seriously, I don’t know why I’m here.

00:45:12.605 --> 00:45:13.965
Thank you.

00:45:53.645 --> 00:45:55.565
Hi, good morning.

00:45:55.685 --> 00:45:58.125
What’s up?

00:45:58.405 --> 00:46:01.325
Hi, fine, and you?
-Fine, thanks.

00:46:04.125 --> 00:46:06.485
Cut my hair as much as you can.

00:46:07.085 --> 00:46:08.565
What’s up, Erfan?

00:46:08.725 --> 00:46:10.605
Nothing, everything’s fine.
And you?

00:46:10.765 --> 00:46:12.685
Everything’s okay.

00:46:16.805 --> 00:46:19.005
Erfan, how’s your film?

00:46:19.405 --> 00:46:24.725
I had found a foreign producer
and I wanted to start shooting,

00:46:24.965 --> 00:46:28.085
but we can’t make any transfers here

00:46:28.365 --> 00:46:31.525
nor send money from Iran.

00:46:31.685 --> 00:46:34.685
Yeah, this...
-It’s getting complicated.

00:46:34.845 --> 00:46:37.085
They’re closing
all Iranian bank accounts.

00:46:37.365 --> 00:46:40.405
A friend who lives in Spain
got his bank account closed.

00:46:40.525 --> 00:46:43.525
He’s been told he’s involved
in terrorist activities

00:46:43.645 --> 00:46:45.485
but my friend works as a tour guide.

00:46:47.045 --> 00:46:48.925
So you can’t shoot anymore?

00:46:49.045 --> 00:46:51.205
No, I’ve cancelled the film.

00:46:51.445 --> 00:46:54.405
There’s nothing I want to do.

00:46:55.645 --> 00:46:57.685
By the way, I’m happy to see you.

00:46:58.925 --> 00:47:01.645
Last night I thought I had to ask you

00:47:01.765 --> 00:47:05.805
why our great Iranian films
don’t have any music.

00:47:08.485 --> 00:47:10.925
The films of Abbas Kiarostami,
for example,

00:47:11.765 --> 00:47:13.725
or Asghar Farhadi,

00:47:13.885 --> 00:47:16.685
or Jafar Panahi...
None of them have.

00:47:16.805 --> 00:47:19.205
You are a composer,
what do you think about that?

00:47:19.485 --> 00:47:20.765
You know what?

00:47:20.885 --> 00:47:24.525
Cinema and music...

00:47:24.645 --> 00:47:27.725
For example, music
is something and influential.

00:47:28.885 --> 00:47:33.445
It’s as if in one country
there were two kings.

00:47:33.965 --> 00:47:38.205
In your film you can tell
anything with direction,

00:47:38.485 --> 00:47:41.685
the script, I don’t know...
Other interesting resources.

00:47:42.605 --> 00:47:44.845
Suddenly the music appears.

00:47:44.965 --> 00:47:49.685
It’s possible
this music makes your work worse.

00:47:50.485 --> 00:47:53.125
They say that good music

00:47:53.245 --> 00:47:56.765
is felt and you can’t hear it,
but this rarely happens.

00:47:56.925 --> 00:47:59.965
Composers usually
want to create something powerful

00:48:00.165 --> 00:48:02.565
and then their film gets worse.

00:48:02.925 --> 00:48:05.845
We missed you last night.
I was in a café.

00:48:06.005 --> 00:48:08.925
There was a good band in the bar,
I forgot its name.

00:48:09.045 --> 00:48:10.645
It was very modern,

00:48:10.765 --> 00:48:13.645
but it seemed very traditional.

00:48:13.765 --> 00:48:16.845
Fusion!
-Yes, it was unusual.

00:48:17.885 --> 00:48:20.925
Do you know what I mean?
-Sure! People do that now.

00:48:21.085 --> 00:48:25.125
Life changes.
They use a traditional music,

00:48:25.485 --> 00:48:29.605
and call it fusion,
all over the world.

00:48:29.765 --> 00:48:34.085
The listener may not want to listen

00:48:34.245 --> 00:48:37.605
just to folk or traditional music.

00:48:37.725 --> 00:48:40.245
It is mixed
with other kinds of music.

00:48:40.525 --> 00:48:43.845
It can recall the past
but it has to be modern.

00:48:43.965 --> 00:48:46.805
Well, since I listen to old music,

00:48:46.965 --> 00:48:48.485
I didn’t know about it.

00:48:48.645 --> 00:48:50.325
It’s becoming fashionable.

00:48:50.605 --> 00:48:54.125
For example,
pop music is all over the world.

00:48:54.245 --> 00:48:58.045
In all countries teenagers
listen to pop music.

00:48:58.165 --> 00:49:01.805
There are people here
who listen to rap.

00:49:01.965 --> 00:49:06.245
Older people
are into rock or soft rock,

00:49:06.525 --> 00:49:09.285
but now
you can hear fusion everywhere.

00:49:09.565 --> 00:49:12.365
I’ve never heard that before,
I found it interesting.

00:49:12.645 --> 00:49:16.885
Life has changed a lot.

00:49:17.045 --> 00:49:20.805
A solution that, since we live
differently, enlivens music.

00:49:21.205 --> 00:49:22.205
Very good.

00:49:22.245 --> 00:49:24.205
Boy, find a girlfriend.

00:49:24.565 --> 00:49:26.085
No way.

00:49:26.205 --> 00:49:28.525
Find a girlfriend before you go bald.

00:49:28.565 --> 00:49:32.325
I don’t want a girlfriend!
-Shall I introduce you a girl I know?

00:49:32.565 --> 00:49:35.925
No, man. I have no money, no film,

00:49:36.645 --> 00:49:39.805
and I’m going bald.
I don’t want a girlfriend!

00:49:39.965 --> 00:49:42.085
That will be good for you.
-No way.

00:49:42.805 --> 00:49:44.765
Well. See you.
-Bye.

00:50:15.965 --> 00:50:18.885
I don’t understand
why graffiti is forbidden.

00:50:19.045 --> 00:50:21.565
Graffiti is forbidden
all over the world.

00:50:21.685 --> 00:50:22.805
Oh, really?

00:50:23.845 --> 00:50:27.045
Because you’re breaking
into private properties.

00:50:27.165 --> 00:50:29.445
There are so many walls here.

00:50:29.565 --> 00:50:31.965
Yeah, but not everyone
understands art.

00:50:32.085 --> 00:50:33.525
It’s not a matter of art.

00:50:33.565 --> 00:50:36.525
There are many places
without an owner.

00:50:36.645 --> 00:50:38.525
Everywhere. Not only in Iran.

00:50:40.045 --> 00:50:43.565
Due to all the social
and political problems,

00:50:43.725 --> 00:50:47.605
art has taken a back seat.

00:50:47.765 --> 00:50:51.405
People’s level of comprehension
has impoverished.

00:50:52.685 --> 00:50:55.365
I don’t want business
to manipulate my work.

00:50:55.365 --> 00:50:57.685
That’s why I started
working on tapestry.

00:50:57.925 --> 00:50:59.085
That’s great!

00:50:59.205 --> 00:51:01.285
I’ve been researching
for two years

00:51:01.405 --> 00:51:04.605
how to create something valuable
working with tapestry.

00:51:04.645 --> 00:51:08.685
I’m making carpets from my paintings
using silk threads.

00:51:09.125 --> 00:51:12.405
I use 126 natural colours.
It’s a historical record.

00:51:13.045 --> 00:51:16.325
I’m more independent.
I don’t need to sell myself.

00:51:16.405 --> 00:51:18.645
These paintings?
-Yes, all of them.

00:51:19.165 --> 00:51:22.645
This way I don’t need
to sell myself to politics

00:51:22.645 --> 00:51:25.765
or the capitalist system.
I feel like a kind of god.

00:51:26.565 --> 00:51:30.645
That’s great. You’re working
so that your art is not manipulated.

00:51:30.725 --> 00:51:33.645
And at the same time,
you are running a business.

00:51:33.725 --> 00:51:37.885
The problem of young people is that,
so that their art is not manipulated

00:51:38.085 --> 00:51:40.565
they have to do things
they don’t even like

00:51:40.645 --> 00:51:42.765
or have nothing to do
with their education.

00:51:42.845 --> 00:51:45.565
Sina, will you show us
your latest paintings?

00:51:45.805 --> 00:51:47.405
We want to see it.

00:51:47.805 --> 00:51:49.205
Be patient.

00:51:49.325 --> 00:51:50.325
Avicenna.

00:51:51.685 --> 00:51:53.125
I’ve been more patient than you.

00:51:53.765 --> 00:51:55.565
It was upside down.

00:51:58.805 --> 00:52:00.125
Cool!

00:52:01.045 --> 00:52:02.285
That’s great.

00:52:04.165 --> 00:52:05.645
That’s great.

00:52:08.165 --> 00:52:10.245
Why don’t you hold any exhibitions?

00:52:11.365 --> 00:52:14.605
Exhibitions? I’ve already held some.

00:52:14.965 --> 00:52:16.325
No kidding. Why not?

00:52:16.565 --> 00:52:17.725
Isn’t this one?

00:52:18.005 --> 00:52:21.605
How does it feel having paintings
outside Iran and you being here?

00:52:21.765 --> 00:52:23.325
I’m used to it.

00:52:23.685 --> 00:52:26.365
Finally, your whole life
becomes a gallery.

00:52:26.525 --> 00:52:29.685
Now I just want to paint for myself.

00:52:30.125 --> 00:52:31.365
What a shame.

00:52:31.485 --> 00:52:34.885
A shame?
Sometimes silence is necessary.

00:52:35.085 --> 00:52:38.885
I don’t know
when the situation will change.

00:52:38.925 --> 00:52:42.005
How much do your materials cost?
-We live off hope.

00:52:42.125 --> 00:52:45.565
They’re not very expensive,
at least on my field.

00:52:45.725 --> 00:52:47.685
But it’s money.

00:52:47.965 --> 00:52:50.485
I’m financially stable.

00:52:50.565 --> 00:52:52.285
I’ve lots of materials.

00:52:52.645 --> 00:52:55.565
Now it’s time for research,
reading and work.

00:52:56.245 --> 00:52:59.165
Now I can spend more time reading.
-Great.

00:52:59.245 --> 00:53:00.285
Silence let me...

00:53:00.365 --> 00:53:03.605
What is the last book did you read?

00:53:03.805 --> 00:53:06.685
‘Art’ by Dr. Ali Shariati.

00:53:06.925 --> 00:53:09.845
Why don’t you travel
with your exhibitions?

00:53:10.125 --> 00:53:12.365
I’m forbidden to leave Iran.

00:53:12.645 --> 00:53:13.725
We all are.

00:53:15.605 --> 00:53:17.685
But you’ll be leaving soon.

00:53:17.925 --> 00:53:21.605
You work in a travel agency.
You can easily send people to Canada.

00:53:21.645 --> 00:53:26.005
It hurts to work in a travel agency
and see everyone leave when I can’t.

00:53:26.365 --> 00:53:29.565
Yes, we both feel that way.

00:53:32.005 --> 00:53:35.565
This painting’s called ‘Avicenna’.

00:53:36.885 --> 00:53:39.085
The details and the face are amazing.

00:53:39.125 --> 00:53:42.245
This one is more detailed
than my previous works.

00:53:52.565 --> 00:53:58.805
The hidden beloved

00:53:59.205 --> 00:54:05.445
tells me secretly:

00:54:06.885 --> 00:54:09.965
Give me live!

00:54:10.325 --> 00:54:13.245
Give me live!

00:54:13.645 --> 00:54:19.885
What is the value
of this heavy existence?

00:54:22.125 --> 00:54:23.205
Hello.

00:54:23.885 --> 00:54:25.965
Hello, good evening everyone.

00:54:26.325 --> 00:54:27.685
Welcome.

00:54:28.045 --> 00:54:30.685
Tonight we are here to play music

00:54:31.165 --> 00:54:34.765
with my dear friend Meysam Kazazi.

00:54:34.965 --> 00:54:38.925
We’ll play 4 traditional songs.

00:54:39.285 --> 00:54:44.205
I will go first and then Meysam.

00:55:15.285 --> 00:55:17.765
Oh, Leili.

00:55:18.205 --> 00:55:23.125
Oh, Leili.
Leili, you are everything for me.

00:55:23.605 --> 00:55:26.245
Oh, Leili.

00:55:26.405 --> 00:55:30.965
Oh, Leili.
Leili, you are everything to me.

00:55:31.365 --> 00:55:36.645
Welcome, Leili.
You put a light on my eyes.

00:55:36.765 --> 00:55:41.725
Welcome, Leili.
You put a light on my eyes.

00:55:42.325 --> 00:55:47.245
I court you the whole day.

00:55:48.165 --> 00:55:53.645
I court you the whole day.

00:55:53.965 --> 00:55:58.965
In the morning, at noon,
and at dusk,

00:55:59.285 --> 00:56:02.405
at noon and at dusk.

00:56:17.925 --> 00:56:20.445
Oh, Leili.

00:56:20.605 --> 00:56:25.845
Oh, Leili.
Leili, you are everything for me.

00:56:26.045 --> 00:56:28.605
Oh, Leili.

00:56:28.765 --> 00:56:33.525
Oh, Leili.
Leili, you are everything for me.

00:56:33.885 --> 00:56:39.005
Welcome, Leili.
You put a light on my eyes.

00:56:39.205 --> 00:56:44.165
Welcome, Leili.
You put a light on my eyes.

00:56:48.365 --> 00:56:51.445
One day you wake up

00:56:51.605 --> 00:56:55.405
and realise you are done.

00:56:55.685 --> 00:56:58.805
There is nobody by your side

00:56:59.085 --> 00:57:02.565
and you have forgotten everyone.

00:57:02.965 --> 00:57:06.045
You have got new gray hair.

00:57:06.325 --> 00:57:09.565
Oh, lost man.

00:57:09.965 --> 00:57:13.525
You have completely
abandoned yourself.

00:57:13.885 --> 00:57:17.125
Your back is more hunched

00:57:17.405 --> 00:57:20.565
and your shoulders more sloping.

00:57:21.085 --> 00:57:24.245
Look closely around you.

00:57:24.485 --> 00:57:27.525
The good and the bad ones
burn together.

00:57:28.125 --> 00:57:30.725
The good and the bad ones
burn together.

00:57:31.165 --> 00:57:34.525
The good and the bad ones
burn together.

00:57:34.845 --> 00:57:36.165
Being born

00:57:36.325 --> 00:57:38.685
in Asia

00:57:39.045 --> 00:57:41.725
is called a geographical curse.

00:57:42.005 --> 00:57:44.485
Your life you can’t foresee

00:57:44.965 --> 00:57:47.765
and you have for breakfast

00:57:47.845 --> 00:57:49.325
cigarettes and tea.

00:57:49.485 --> 00:57:53.325
Being born in Asia

00:57:53.405 --> 00:57:56.565
is called a geographical curse.

00:57:56.965 --> 00:58:00.325
Your life you can’t foresee

00:58:00.445 --> 00:58:03.685
and you have for breakfast
cigarettes and tea.

01:01:43.605 --> 01:01:50.365
I’m that cloud

01:01:53.045 --> 01:01:59.725
that wants

01:02:01.485 --> 01:02:06.845
to rain.

01:02:08.285 --> 01:02:14.885
My pained heart

01:02:17.685 --> 01:02:24.405
yearns

01:02:25.565 --> 01:02:31.005
to cry.

01:02:32.125 --> 01:02:38.725
My pained heart

01:02:39.685 --> 01:02:45.325
yearns

01:02:46.045 --> 01:02:50.645
to cry.

01:02:53.045 --> 01:02:54.605
Hello.
-Hello.

01:02:56.365 --> 01:02:58.245
How are you?
-Fine, thank you.

01:02:59.205 --> 01:03:00.685
Why is he so noisy?

01:03:01.085 --> 01:03:02.925
Why are you so noisy?

01:03:05.405 --> 01:03:07.245
Leave him alone. He is so good.

01:03:08.405 --> 01:03:11.925
Leave him alone. He is a nice guy.
He is a very nice guy.

01:03:13.045 --> 01:03:14.205
It’s not a big deal.

01:03:14.485 --> 01:03:16.485
What?
-It’s not a big deal.

01:03:19.365 --> 01:03:23.125
You’re the most beautiful thing
in the world.

01:03:23.365 --> 01:03:27.445
You’re my treasure.
What I love the most.

01:03:28.285 --> 01:03:30.685
My baby boy.

01:03:31.885 --> 01:03:33.085
Eat.

01:03:37.565 --> 01:03:39.685
Feed him.
-Here.

01:03:41.445 --> 01:03:43.485
Here.

01:03:47.045 --> 01:03:48.245
Drink some water.

01:03:55.485 --> 01:04:00.005
Aren’t you worried
I can’t shoot my film now?

01:04:01.165 --> 01:04:02.245
No.

01:04:02.485 --> 01:04:03.925
Aren’t you worried?

01:04:04.085 --> 01:04:05.485
No.
-Are you?

01:04:05.645 --> 01:04:06.925
And you?

01:04:07.245 --> 01:04:09.325
Aren’t you worried about my future?

01:04:09.365 --> 01:04:11.645
Of course I’m worried,

01:04:11.645 --> 01:04:14.565
but you’re very delicate.

01:04:14.725 --> 01:04:16.205
You’re very sensitive.

01:04:16.285 --> 01:04:19.485
You’ll understand eventually

01:04:20.045 --> 01:04:23.645
with the passing of time.

01:04:24.045 --> 01:04:25.485
What do you think?

01:04:25.805 --> 01:04:27.925
Earn money, and then make your film.

01:04:28.485 --> 01:04:31.125
In general, what do you think of me?

01:04:34.485 --> 01:04:35.485
I can’t tell you.

01:04:36.165 --> 01:04:37.605
Why not?
-I can’t.

01:04:38.165 --> 01:04:41.925
Why not?
You can’t tell me either?

01:04:42.045 --> 01:04:45.325
You daydream.
You haven’t your feet on the ground.

01:04:46.125 --> 01:04:47.245
You think so too?

01:04:47.525 --> 01:04:52.325
No, I think
you’re delicate and sensitive.

01:04:53.405 --> 01:04:57.245
All artists are.

01:04:58.005 --> 01:05:01.445
Maybe you were born
in the wrong place.

01:05:01.725 --> 01:05:07.685
Maybe we don’t know
how to treat artists.

01:05:08.125 --> 01:05:09.805
Don’t you think?

01:05:13.165 --> 01:05:14.565
Do we?
-What did you say?

01:05:14.965 --> 01:05:15.965
What do you say?

01:05:16.365 --> 01:05:19.005
I think he’s a daydreamer.

01:05:19.765 --> 01:05:23.365
He hasn’t his feet on the ground.
-Maybe he was born early.

01:05:23.525 --> 01:05:25.485
He hasn’t his feet on the ground.

01:05:25.565 --> 01:05:28.245
I think maybe you were born
in the wrong place

01:05:28.445 --> 01:05:29.965
or you were born early.

01:05:30.485 --> 01:05:33.645
Maybe
you should have been born later.

01:05:34.085 --> 01:05:37.485
The world is going to get worse.
-It’s going to get worse.

01:05:37.925 --> 01:05:42.445
I don’t know.
Will it change?

01:05:42.885 --> 01:05:44.205
It won’t.

01:05:44.605 --> 01:05:46.725
Human beings are the way they are.

01:05:47.125 --> 01:05:48.645
Everything will be the same.

01:05:50.365 --> 01:05:53.085
Don’t you want to get married?
-No way.

01:05:53.405 --> 01:05:55.885
Why?
-Why do I have to?

01:05:56.005 --> 01:05:59.285
Why don’t you have to?
-Why don’t you leave me alone?

01:05:59.485 --> 01:06:03.045
If you don’t get married,
your life won’t be complete.

01:06:03.125 --> 01:06:06.645
So it won’t be.

01:06:06.965 --> 01:06:08.045
Why?

01:06:08.365 --> 01:06:10.325
Because I don’t want to.

01:06:10.605 --> 01:06:15.285
If you get married
your work will be better too.

01:06:15.365 --> 01:06:17.445
I don’t want to. I’m an artist.

01:06:17.605 --> 01:06:20.645
What does that have to do with it?
-I want to be free.

01:06:20.965 --> 01:06:24.085
Well, a woman who understands you.

01:06:24.285 --> 01:06:27.325
There’s no one.

01:06:27.525 --> 01:06:29.965
Yes, there is.

01:06:30.365 --> 01:06:33.685
Wasn’t I good for you?
-No.

01:06:33.685 --> 01:06:35.685
Don’t joke with these things.

01:06:36.005 --> 01:06:37.685
I’m serious.

01:06:37.965 --> 01:06:42.285
Our generation is different.

01:06:42.965 --> 01:06:46.485
There are good people
and bad people in every generation.

01:06:46.725 --> 01:06:52.205
There is always someone
that can understand you if you want.

01:06:53.525 --> 01:06:55.805
Besides, the love of your children.

01:06:56.365 --> 01:06:58.965
Ebrahim Younesi says in his book

01:06:59.045 --> 01:07:05.005
that when women reach an age

01:07:05.365 --> 01:07:09.125
they want to see
how their children fall in love.

01:07:09.245 --> 01:07:14.045
That feeling exists
and it’s very beautiful.

01:07:14.445 --> 01:07:16.405
I must have that feeling too.

01:07:17.365 --> 01:07:19.445
I’d like to fall in love.

01:07:19.565 --> 01:07:21.725
He’s right. We can’t force him.

01:07:22.125 --> 01:07:23.365
I’m not forcing him.

01:07:23.485 --> 01:07:26.565
I’m not meddling in your life.
Don’t meddle in mine.

01:07:26.645 --> 01:07:27.685
I won’t.

01:07:28.125 --> 01:07:30.365
Don’t tell me what to do.

01:07:31.725 --> 01:07:37.565
We should do the same.
Stay out of his life.

01:07:37.965 --> 01:07:40.725
Don’t bite. Don’t bite.
He’s going to bite me.

01:07:41.085 --> 01:07:42.245
Give it to me.

01:07:42.365 --> 01:07:43.405
No, leave it here.

01:07:43.645 --> 01:07:46.045
You’re what I love the most.

01:07:46.125 --> 01:07:49.525
You’re my treasure.
The most beautiful thing.

01:07:51.685 --> 01:07:52.725
Come here.

01:07:53.125 --> 01:07:56.405
He’s afraid of the carpet.
Come and sit here.

01:07:56.685 --> 01:07:58.085
What’s it afraid of?

01:07:58.805 --> 01:08:00.565
That leather carpet.

01:08:00.725 --> 01:08:04.125
You’re my treasure.
The most beautiful thing.

01:08:04.165 --> 01:08:05.405
What I love the most.

01:08:05.445 --> 01:08:08.725
He’ll get used to it eventually.

01:08:09.205 --> 01:08:12.925
Well, what were we talking about?

01:08:13.845 --> 01:08:15.445
Leave me alone.

01:08:16.085 --> 01:08:17.125
I’m leaving.

01:08:21.845 --> 01:08:26.045
You always run away.

01:08:30.245 --> 01:08:33.525
What I love the most, my treasure.

01:08:34.485 --> 01:08:37.125
If he gets married
he’ll become independent.

01:08:37.285 --> 01:08:38.285
Leave him alone.

01:08:38.485 --> 01:08:40.645
Don’t meddle anymore.
It’s his choice.

01:08:41.125 --> 01:08:42.525
Shouldn’t I meddle?
-No.

01:08:59.845 --> 01:09:03.685
The story of a writer
who fell in love only once

01:09:03.765 --> 01:09:05.565
and he tells his experience.

01:09:05.685 --> 01:09:08.125
Really?
-Yes, you have to read it.

01:09:08.245 --> 01:09:09.245
I will.

01:09:10.285 --> 01:09:12.805
What about you?
Have you ever fallen in love?

01:09:12.965 --> 01:09:15.925
Sure! Why?

01:09:16.285 --> 01:09:18.285
Are you sure it was true love?

01:09:18.645 --> 01:09:21.525
When you fall in love,
you don’t need to be sure.

01:09:21.565 --> 01:09:22.765
You go for it!

01:09:23.045 --> 01:09:25.485
I haven’t fallen in love,
that’s why I ask.

01:09:25.565 --> 01:09:27.245
What? Why not?

01:09:27.325 --> 01:09:29.405
I don’t know.
I’ve never fallen in love.

01:09:29.445 --> 01:09:32.005
You must fall in love at least once.
-Yes.

01:09:32.085 --> 01:09:36.125
Everyone must.
-Then help me fall in love. Can you?

01:09:36.365 --> 01:09:37.605
It doesn’t work like that.

01:09:37.685 --> 01:09:40.125
Everyone can fall in love.

01:09:40.325 --> 01:09:43.645
You have to get it out

01:09:43.885 --> 01:09:45.245
and it will blossom.

01:09:45.485 --> 01:09:48.805
When I read
how Don Quixote falls in love

01:09:48.885 --> 01:09:52.525
or how Beatriz’s love takes Dante
from hell to heaven,

01:09:52.645 --> 01:09:55.125
I’m moved by these lovers.

01:09:55.285 --> 01:09:57.725
but I haven’t felt that so far.

01:09:58.245 --> 01:09:59.365
Listen.

01:09:59.685 --> 01:10:01.485
Love is very exciting.

01:10:01.605 --> 01:10:06.085
You feel fear and happiness
at the same time.

01:10:06.405 --> 01:10:09.925
You feel all the different feelings
at the same time.

01:10:10.125 --> 01:10:13.925
Your heart starts beating harder.

01:10:14.365 --> 01:10:17.965
It’s like thousands
of butterflies inside you.

01:10:18.205 --> 01:10:21.285
For example, a person
passes by next to you,

01:10:21.645 --> 01:10:25.245
suddenly you think that’s
the love of your life but it’s not.

01:10:25.445 --> 01:10:29.525
You see them everywhere.
You only think or dream about them.

01:10:29.645 --> 01:10:31.365
It’s a very special feeling.

01:10:31.405 --> 01:10:33.125
I’ve never felt that.

01:10:33.725 --> 01:10:36.725
In literature, for example,
in Romeo and Juliet,

01:10:36.965 --> 01:10:39.765
they find it hard to be together

01:10:40.045 --> 01:10:41.365
and they never could.

01:10:41.525 --> 01:10:43.365
Or in Khofron y Shirin

01:10:43.525 --> 01:10:47.365
or ‘Shirin and Farhad’ or ‘Levla’
or ‘Majmun’, or all those.

01:10:47.525 --> 01:10:50.085
In real life,
love is also complicated.

01:10:50.245 --> 01:10:53.285
It’s hard. You must fight for it.

01:10:53.725 --> 01:10:56.165
But in the end, it’s very sweet.

01:10:56.285 --> 01:10:58.645
I want you to help me.

01:10:59.125 --> 01:11:00.485
How can I help you?

01:11:00.845 --> 01:11:03.445
You are asking me
for something very difficult.

01:11:03.725 --> 01:11:06.845
But you’re my friend
so I’ll help you.

01:11:07.325 --> 01:11:09.085
Is there anyone in your life?

01:11:09.125 --> 01:11:12.325
No, but if there were,
I’d love that she were like you.

01:11:12.565 --> 01:11:14.605
C’mon, don’t tell me that.

01:11:15.405 --> 01:11:18.165
First of all, you’d have
to change your image.

01:11:18.205 --> 01:11:19.725
Forgive me for saying that.

01:11:19.845 --> 01:11:23.005
I don’t want you to feel bad.

01:11:23.165 --> 01:11:25.005
Open the button on your shirt.

01:11:25.085 --> 01:11:26.365
Let’s see.

01:11:28.565 --> 01:11:30.445
Let me help you.
-Go for it.

01:11:33.125 --> 01:11:34.165
Good.

01:11:34.285 --> 01:11:37.165
Much better.
You have to take care of yourself.

01:11:37.205 --> 01:11:40.805
Do you mean shave?
-No, the beard suits you.

01:11:41.765 --> 01:11:44.845
The hat’s good too,
but try to be more handsome.

01:11:44.885 --> 01:11:46.325
Shall I put that on?

01:11:46.805 --> 01:11:48.885
¿Henna? I can help you with that.

01:11:49.245 --> 01:11:51.445
But it doesn’t suit me. It suits you.

01:11:51.725 --> 01:11:54.965
It looks good on you too.
You have nice, long hands.

01:11:55.565 --> 01:11:57.085
No, your hands are fine.

01:11:57.485 --> 01:12:00.765
Look at my right hand.
I did it with my left hand

01:12:01.045 --> 01:12:02.245
so it’s better.

01:12:05.045 --> 01:12:06.925
Someday I’ll put henna on you.

01:12:07.085 --> 01:12:08.485
¿Ok?
-Ok.

01:12:09.805 --> 01:12:14.045
Well, why did you suddenly
think of love?

01:12:16.205 --> 01:12:19.005
I don’t know,
I’ve always wondered about love.

01:12:19.045 --> 01:12:21.525
Plus now you are complaining
about my style.

01:12:21.685 --> 01:12:24.405
That’s my opinion.
Other people may like it.

01:12:24.565 --> 01:12:25.565
Maybe.

01:12:25.925 --> 01:12:27.645
I wish they did.

01:12:28.005 --> 01:12:29.165
I wish.

01:12:30.805 --> 01:12:31.925
Well...

01:12:33.085 --> 01:12:36.165
Love, falling in love...
-Yeah.

01:12:36.525 --> 01:12:39.845
You have to read Jayam or Hafez.

01:12:40.325 --> 01:12:42.485
They will help you a lot.

01:12:42.645 --> 01:12:44.365
They’re the poets of love.

01:12:44.645 --> 01:12:45.965
I will.

01:12:55.485 --> 01:12:57.765
The bird was little.

01:13:01.005 --> 01:13:03.965
The bird didn’t think.

01:13:06.885 --> 01:13:09.645
The bird didn’t read the newspaper.

01:13:11.045 --> 01:13:13.245
The bird wasn’t in debt.
