00:03:35 If you put a pen under your tits
00:03:37 and it gets stuck then you're
00:03:41 If we shake this one,

00:03:47 Calm down!
00:03:48 They let me see him last week.
00:03:50 He wasn't a pretty sight.
00:03:53 They told me that they would

00:04:42 Really? Great!
00:04:44 How to be sure that
00:04:47 It'll be forbidden.
00:04:49 I should have thought about it.
00:04:51 What's going on?
00:04:52 Death to the shah!
00:05:07 I knew it!
00:05:08 I knew it!
00:05:11 This is an historic moment!
00:05:20 He's finally gonna pay.
00:05:22 Yes, daughter.
00:05:25 The shah will meet his
00:05:27 As for myself,
00:05:32 He's been chosen by God.
00:05:35 Yes! Absolutely!
00:05:37 God himself told me.
00:05:41 The shah wasn't chosen by God.
00:05:44 Lies!
00:05:45 Shh...
00:05:48 That's what they say.
00:05:50 I'll tell you how it happened.
00:05:53 Truth is that 50 years ago,
00:05:57 wanted to overthrow the
00:06:00 I'll do like Ataturk!
00:06:03 I'll create a republic!

00:06:12 You could be emperor!
00:06:14 Me? Emperor?
00:06:16 Of course!
00:06:19 You'll have full powers.
00:06:22 A country like yours
00:06:23 needs a strong man like you
00:06:27 Hmm... It's quite true.
00:06:30 And also... you know that
00:06:33 is against the republic.
00:06:35 Between us, he's right.
00:06:37 What must I do?
00:06:39 Nothing. You give us the oil.
00:06:42 We'll take care of the rest.
00:06:48 Now, I am the king!
00:06:53 He was an asshole!
00:06:54 - Oh!

00:07:00 He loved his country,
00:07:03 I am the king now!
00:07:08 I'll make this country
00:07:12 Our people will shine again!
00:07:15 Yes, the shah's father
00:07:18 He put your grandpa in prison.
00:07:20 But his son was ten times worse.
00:07:22 Grandpa has been in prison?
00:07:24 Yes! He was a member of
00:07:26 He was a Qadjar prince. The shah's
00:07:31 He went to prison because
00:07:39 My grandpa was a Qadjar prince
00:08:45 God damn it! You're still alive.
00:08:49 - They shot on people!
00:08:52 We escaped but we got caught later.

00:10:27 Who is this guy?
00:10:29 My father. He was in prison.
00:10:31 He's a hero.
00:10:34 Those scientists knew the
00:10:37 They knew how to hit
00:10:41 I've been lashed with
00:10:44 My foot doesn't look
00:10:47 There are nerves going straight
00:10:52 It's an indescribable pain.
00:10:55 Our torturers had been
00:10:59 They were at the
00:11:03 What about Hamid?
00:11:06 Hamid has been murdered.
00:11:08 As a member of the guerilla,
00:11:12 He has some cyanide with him.
00:11:14 But unfortunately,
00:11:17 So he endured the worst tortures.
00:11:22 The one who loses will be
00:11:24 - Cool!
00:11:27 He will be lashed with
00:11:33 But first, he'll have to put
00:11:36 And chew three times.
00:11:38 Yeah!
00:11:42 Look, it's Ramine!
00:11:43 Farzad told me that his father was a

00:11:55 We'll give Ramine a lesson
00:12:04 Yeah! We'll gouge his eyes out!
00:12:18 Marjane!
00:12:20 What are you doing?
00:12:21 - Marji found some nails.
00:12:25 Would you like it if
00:12:30 Go back home into your room
00:12:49 Marjane, what's happening to you?
00:12:51 It's not a behavior worthy
00:12:54 But God,
00:12:57 Marjane, this poor Ramine
00:13:01 of his father's mistakes.
00:13:03 Bad guys will pay sooner or later.
00:13:08 Your duty is to forgive,
00:13:17 Ramine?
00:13:18 What do you want?
00:13:19 Listen, your father is a murderer,
00:13:23 I forgive you.
00:13:25 He killed communists,
00:13:34 The country was euphoric
00:13:36 during the months following
00:13:38 Everybody had been a revolutionary
00:13:42 The wine stain of our neighbour
00:13:44 had changed into a war wound.
00:13:48 Our teacher, admirer of the shah,
00:13:50 ordered us to tear off all the
00:13:54 Political meetings were increasing
00:13:58 had become heroes of the nation.
00:14:01 It's in this climate that, one night,
00:14:05 Now, everything will be better.
00:14:10 We'll finally have a free
00:14:14 Proletariat will rule
00:14:17 Uncle Anouche?
00:14:18 How long did you stay in prison?
00:14:20 Nine years.
00:14:21 Longer tha Laly's father?
00:14:23 How old are you?
00:14:25 Marji, let your uncle digest!
00:14:28 She wants to know everything.
00:14:30 It's a good thing to be curious.
00:14:33 Have you digested?
00:14:34 Go to bed!
00:14:35 But!
00:14:37 Put your pajamas on and I'll come.
00:14:40 Did you see?
00:14:43 People will want
00:14:46 after this dictatorship.
00:14:48 It will never be worse
00:14:51 I'm ready!
00:14:53 You'll see,
00:14:56 I'm ready!!
00:14:58 I'll start with the beginning.
00:15:01 I was 18 years old when
00:15:04 declared the independence of
00:15:07 Wow!
00:15:08 Fereydoun appointed himself as
00:15:15 Justice is the basis of democracy.
00:15:17 Men must be equal
00:15:20 I became his secretary.
00:15:23 It's just a beginning.
00:15:27 Province by province,
00:15:29 I'm sure of it!
00:15:31 It wasn't easy for me because
00:15:36 My son is a traitor!
00:15:40 You'll all be shot!
00:15:43 My father couldn't have been
00:15:47 My God! Fereydoun!
00:15:49 I had to escape.
00:15:52 While my uncle was facing
00:16:15 I walked for days in the storm.
00:16:18 I was hungry, I was cold,
00:16:22 I crossed Alborz mountains
00:16:27 in Astara.
00:16:30 Who dares bother me at this hour?
00:16:32 My God, Anouche!
00:16:35 It's our son, he's almost dead.
00:16:37 My dear son!
00:16:40 My son...
00:16:41 My dear son, forgive me!
00:16:44 I couldn't stay, I was wanted.
00:16:47 I had to go into exile.
00:17:07 I swam across the Aras river
00:17:15 What did you do then?
00:17:16 I went to Leningrad.
00:17:18 Then to Moscow, I got my doctorate
00:17:22 But I was missing my family.
00:17:24 I tried to came back by train
00:17:29 - They arrested me.
00:17:32 Yes. You know...
00:17:34 It's important that you know.
00:17:36 The memory of the family
00:17:40 Even if it's hard,
00:17:43 Don't worry, uncle Anouche.
00:17:47 Were you married in Russia?
00:17:49 It's late. You must sleep.
00:17:52 Here, it's for you.
00:17:54 I made it in prison.
00:17:57 It's made of breadcrumbs.
00:18:10 99,99% of the people
00:18:14 for the islamic republic.
00:18:16 It's normal. Each revolution
00:18:20 Half the country is illiterate.
00:18:22 Only nationalism or religious
00:18:28 Mina left the country.
00:18:33 We found Mohsen drowned
00:18:37 Don't worry.
00:18:40 Siamak and his family left.
00:18:45 Maybe we should leave too.
00:18:48 You could be a cleaning lady
00:18:52 We'll get rid of the
00:18:55 Between them and us, there's only
00:19:10 - Marji?
00:19:14 They arrested Anouche.
00:19:16 I know.
00:19:20 - Daddy!
00:19:23 Do you want to do
00:19:26 Anouche can have one visitor.
00:19:32 I'll go.
00:19:47 Ten minutes.
00:19:55 What a nice dress!
00:19:57 What a nice little girl!
00:20:06 Your visit honours me.
00:20:12 You're the little girl
00:20:15 But you'll see, one day,

00:21:00 I've nothing to do with it...
00:21:02 Shut up!
00:21:04 Go away! Go away!
00:21:07 Get lost!!!
00:21:29 One year after the revolution,
00:21:33 Saddam took advantage of the
00:21:36 The revolution and the army
00:21:41 In the name of the fight
00:21:44 the state wiped out
00:21:46 the old opponents to
00:21:50 Arrests and executions increased.
00:21:53 Everybody was scared.
00:21:55 The new government established
00:22:00 Within two years,
00:22:04 And so did we.

00:27:32 Lower your scarf, you little whore!
00:27:34 - Follow us to the committee.
00:27:37 My mother is dead. My evil
00:27:41 She'll kill if I don't go back home.
00:27:46 She'll force my father to
00:27:50 Have mercy!
00:27:53 Mercy. Have mercy, madam...
00:27:59 Phew!
00:28:26 Our soldiers bravery bore fruit.
00:28:29 Tonight, our army destroyed 63 tanks
00:28:34 The blood of our martyrs is
00:28:37 Deserts of despair
00:28:40 Dying as a martyr is like injecting
00:28:56 Are you all right, Mrs Nassrine?
00:28:59 No, I'm not.
00:29:03 They told them that if they
00:29:06 they would go to
00:29:09 They've been told that in heaven,
00:29:11 there's plenty of food and women...
00:29:15 Women?!

00:29:38 They arrested the Rochanis.
00:29:40 They found some alcohol
00:29:43 Who are you covering yourself for?
00:29:48 For mister.
00:29:49 That's how we've been raised.
00:29:53 Don't worry.
00:29:54 I'll talk to your son.
00:29:57 Thanks to my parents,
00:29:58 Mrs Nassrine's son didn't
00:30:03 Between the fear of the bombings,
00:30:06 and the spying of the neighbours,
00:30:17 To make things bearable,
00:30:19 people were partying in secret.
00:30:23 People were getting drunk at
00:30:27 so my uncle was providing
00:30:30 He has installed a wine production
00:30:34 Mrs Nassrine,

00:31:03 You're lying, you dirty westerner!
00:31:05 That's enough!
00:31:06 How dare you talk to me like that?
00:31:10 Shut up!
00:31:11 Listen.
00:31:12 I could be your mother.
00:31:14 How old are you?
00:31:19 You'd be in hell without your wife.
00:31:22 Thank you!
00:31:23 Get in! We're going to your place
00:31:25 to check if there are some bottles.
00:31:27 Grandma, Marji, you go first.
00:31:31 Empty all the bottles.
00:31:33 - But how?
00:31:35 I was used to it with your father.
00:31:37 We had to hide the flyers.
00:31:41 Listen, the neighbour on the same
00:31:44 He has a heart condition.
00:31:46 if we make too much noise.
00:31:51 Hey! Where are you going?

00:31:58 Diabetic?
00:32:00 Go ahead.
00:32:21 Where are the others?
00:32:23 Their arrogance isn't ideological.
00:32:28 Tell me,
00:32:31 Well, yes!
00:32:32 Shit!
00:32:43 It's his heart again.
00:32:46 They wanted to stop the communists.
00:32:49 They threw a grenade.
00:32:52 He was lying on the ground
00:32:55 Everything will be all right.
00:32:57 No, it won't.
00:32:59 He must have an

00:33:14 My old window cleaner.
00:33:16 I pretended not to recognize
00:33:21 Only people who are seriously ill
00:33:25 My husband had three heart attacks.
00:33:27 He must be operated or he'll die.
00:33:30 We'll do our best.
00:33:32 If God wants it, he'll get better.
00:33:36 I need your authorization
00:33:40 If God wants it.
00:33:42 This asshole grew a beard
00:33:44 And now he's a director!
00:33:47 My husband's fate depends on
00:33:49 a window cleaner!
00:33:51 He doesn't watch women in
00:33:54 Fucking asshole!
00:33:57 I know someone who

00:34:12 It looks like a real one.
00:34:14 A month work,
00:34:17 What's your name?
00:34:19 How much time do you need?
00:34:22 Passports are very much in demand.
00:34:25 I make a living with that.
00:34:28 It takes 15 days,
00:34:31 Great. Be quick.
00:34:37 It's Niloufar.
00:34:39 This is Ebi,
00:34:40 Anouche's brother,
00:34:43 Hello.
00:34:44 She is a communist too.
00:34:46 Her brother was my messenger.

00:35:08 Is he stupid or what?
00:35:10 He's gonna get crushed!
00:35:12 Here! That's what I said!
00:35:21 Don't look.
00:35:23 - It's too ugly.
00:35:26 What of piece of shit! Apart
00:35:30 and making disgusting monsters,
00:35:40 Grandma, do you think that
00:35:43 - Of course.
00:35:45 If he doesn't find any passport
00:35:49 He shouldn't have smoked so much.
00:35:52 What a load of crap!
00:35:54 because his children are far away.
00:35:58 A hot beans pastry boat please.
00:36:02 Children always leave
00:36:05 But being separated from your 13 years
00:36:10 It can break you heart for sure.
00:36:14 I'd be dead already if I was him.
00:36:17 May God exterminate those barbarians.
00:36:20 May God hear you.
00:36:32 Hello? Ha, Khosrow, is that you?
00:36:35 So, what's up?

00:37:54 Yes, honey.
00:37:56 Where did the missile go?
00:37:59 It hit the Baba Levys.
00:38:01 What? The Baba Levys?
00:38:23 Thanks to the government, we don't
00:38:27 Madam?
00:38:29 We finally earned our freedom.
00:38:31 - Madam?
00:38:33 It's the new government that ordered
00:38:38 From 3000 prisoners during the shah,
00:38:43 How dare you lie?

00:38:56 Who was it?
00:38:57 The school. Marji put the religion

00:39:12 The law forbids to kill a virgin.
00:39:14 She's forced to marry a
00:39:16 Then he takes her virginity
00:39:18 Do you understand?
00:39:21 If someone touches one of her
00:39:25 A little later, they decided
00:39:29 Since I had studied at
00:39:32 I'd go to the French school in Vienna.
00:39:37 My mother's best friend
00:39:41 The day before my departure,
00:39:45 Every morning she put jasmine
00:39:50 When she was taking it off, the
00:39:54 It was magic.
00:39:56 How do you manage to have
00:40:00 Everyday I put them for 10 minutes
00:40:07 I'll miss you.
00:40:09 I'll come and see you.
00:40:13 Listen.
00:40:14 I'm gonna give you an advice
00:40:20 In your life, you'll meet
00:40:22 Remember that it's stupidity
00:40:27 It will prevent you from
00:40:30 Because there's nothing worse
00:40:34 Always remain worthy and
00:40:43 You'll see,
00:40:46 No tears.
00:40:49 Europe is opening to you.
00:40:50 When you'll arrive in Vienna,
00:40:54 It's a delicious chocolate cake.
00:40:57 You're a grown up.
00:41:00 - Daddy...
00:41:02 You must leave.
00:41:04 Never forget who you are
00:41:07 My daughter.
00:41:10 - Mom!
00:42:11 Europe opened itself to me,
00:42:15 After a few days at
00:42:18 she decided that their apartment
00:42:22 She found me a bed and board
00:42:27 according to her.
00:42:45 What?
00:42:46 - Was?
00:42:46 - Huh?
00:43:22 I was finding
00:43:24 shelves of products that
00:43:30 For a while,
00:43:32 going to the supermarket
00:43:35 favorite pastime...
00:43:37 favorite pastime...
00:43:39 Anyway! It was urgent that
00:43:47 At the French school,
00:43:51 and be understood.
00:43:53 Do you have a smoke?
00:43:56 Quickly, the school dropouts
00:44:00 There was Momo, Thierry,
00:44:03 My nationality and my history
00:44:06 You saw a revolution and a war?
00:44:08 - Yeah.
00:44:11 - Err... A few.
00:44:13 Wow!
00:44:14 Terrific.
00:44:21 I was soon a member of the band.
00:44:23 With Momo,
00:44:25 a forced nihilism concept and
00:44:43 I admit that at the beginning
00:44:47 And after all, why not?
00:44:52 I was trying to convince myself
00:44:56 But I remained different.
00:44:58 Holidays were sure
00:45:02 Shit, Christmas again!
00:45:06 All this because of
00:45:09 Santa Claus is in red and white...
00:45:12 It was a Coca-Cola mascot.
00:45:14 I'll be bored to death in Monte-Carlo.
00:45:17 Monte-Carlo is still all right.
00:45:19 Me, I'm gonna see my father in Brazil,
00:45:22 It's at least a 13 hours flight!
00:45:24 Holidays are scraps left to the pleb.
00:45:27 If the anarchists had won,
00:45:31 Is everything all right, my dear?
00:45:34 It's fine.
00:45:38 So?
00:45:40 She'll be with some friends
00:45:43 Is there anything you need?
00:45:45 You're right, enjoy it.
00:45:48 Eat some frutis and vegetables.
00:46:26 Is it a common behavior?
00:46:27 What?
00:46:28 - The way you're eating?
00:46:31 Maybe, but not in a saucepan.
00:46:35 So it's true,
00:46:39 Is it true that you were
00:46:42 Oh!
00:46:44 It was the beginning of
00:46:47 I was flying from
00:46:49 Eve and her mother took me in.
00:46:52 After that I was living
00:46:54 Next, I was living in a maid room
00:46:58 and at some friends of
00:47:00 to finally end in
00:47:04 She was a retired
00:47:07 To sum up, she was nuts.
00:47:12 The rent is 2000 schillings a month.
00:47:15 - You like dogs, don't you?
00:47:20 Yuki adopted you.
00:47:22 Dogs have a sixth sense.
00:47:25 They recognize good people.
00:47:31 I decided to become integrated
00:47:34 But sometimes, western culture
00:47:38 Ja voll! Ja voll!
00:47:40 I had to improve my knowledge.
00:47:42 From Sartre to Bakounin,
00:47:45 I read everything I could.
00:47:47 But I understood that some things
00:47:58 Did you see?
00:48:02 I want to puke!
00:48:04 It can't last any longer.
00:48:07 All of this is hot air.
00:48:09 Life is empty.
00:48:10 When man realizes it,
00:48:12 he creates games for ruler and...
00:48:15 Bullshit!
00:48:18 People give their life for freedom!
00:48:22 My uncle didn't die for fun.
00:48:25 Fucking asshole!
00:48:29 My feeling of disarray was immense.
00:48:33 I was safe here while my kins
00:48:39 I couldn't let go this
00:48:45 I wanted to live like
00:48:49 The time of change was coming.
00:48:51 Within a few months,
00:48:54 It was a time of endlessly
00:48:57 First, I grew 18 cm.
00:49:01 My face got longer, my right eye
00:49:05 My right hand became huge,
00:49:10 My nose got three time bigger.
00:49:14 My buttocks appeared,
00:49:17 And to finish, a huge mole
00:49:31 You see, Yuki? I told you.
00:49:39 What a shitty music!
00:49:41 There are only assholes here.
00:49:44 Bakounin wanted the socialist
00:49:48 We wouldn't be where we are.
00:49:50 Really?
00:49:51 Capitalism is eating away
00:49:54 Yeah, of course. Well...
00:49:58 Yeah... I'm from...
00:50:02 Ha? I wouldn't have guessed.
00:50:06 Excuse me, I must go.
00:50:08 Okay. Well then, bye.
00:50:28 So you're French?
00:50:30 Grandma, stop it.
00:50:32 It was just a question.
00:50:34 I didn't know you were French.
00:50:37 Do you think it's easy to be Iranian?
00:50:39 People are looking at me
00:50:42 We're just fanatics screaming
00:50:46 Is it a reason to disown your origin?
00:50:53 Remember what I told you.
00:50:56 Be true to yourself.
00:51:05 Do you know what she told my brother?
00:51:08 That she was French.
00:51:11 - I'm not kidding.
00:51:13 What? Did you see her face?
00:51:18 - He wanted to chat her up?
00:51:20 I'd kill myself if
00:51:23 Shut the fuck up!
00:51:25 I'm Iranian and proud to be!
00:51:31 After 3 years in Austria
00:51:34 Momo, Thierry, Eve and Olivier
00:51:38 I had new friends.
00:51:41 There was Birgit, a 30 years old
00:51:46 She had a house in the forest
00:51:51 The State could rest easy.
00:51:55 were just a pretext to drink
00:51:59 I met Fernando at one
00:52:03 When I saw him, I immediately knew
00:52:34 Marjane, are you here?
00:52:37 Ha!
00:52:38 That night, I finally understood,
00:52:41 You revealed me to myself.
00:52:44 If it doesn't work with you,
00:52:47 I know it, now.
00:52:51 Ha! It's good to tell it.
00:52:55 Thank you, Marjane. Thank you.
00:52:58 You're welcome.
00:53:02 I swore that I wouldn't let
00:53:05 I won't let myself
00:53:07 Love is a conventional feeling!
00:53:11 But "Life is life",
00:53:14 One morning in november,
00:53:31 Shall I walk you back?
00:53:51 I had finally found love.
00:53:53 Nothing was frightening me.
00:53:57 Markus was to become a great writer.
00:54:01 He was reading me extracts from
00:54:16 We were as one.
00:54:39 I bought some croissants!
00:54:43 Oh!
00:54:44 Wait.
00:54:49 Marjane, I love you!
00:54:52 I love you!
00:54:58 I can't find my brooch.
00:55:00 It's you who stole it!
00:55:03 Leave me alone.
00:55:05 I shan't let it rest at that!
00:55:07 Fucking thief!
00:55:09 Go to hell!
00:55:11 You and your fucking dog!!!
00:55:15 Don't talk like that about my dog.
00:55:19 - You won't get on with it so easily.
00:55:23 Fucking thief!
00:55:26 I'll call the police!
00:55:32 How could I be so stupid?
00:55:37 I'm a stupid cunt, cunt, cunt!
00:55:40 How could I fall in love with
00:55:44 Shall I take you back?
00:55:46 I must fill it up.
00:55:51 This asshole's mouth smelled
00:55:57 Fuck! What a stupid cunt are you?
00:55:59 My eye hurts like hell!
00:56:01 - Show me, my love.
00:56:03 Asshole!
00:56:05 With his shitty piece!
00:56:10 This son of a bitch had no balls.
00:56:19 Ja, Mutter.
00:56:21 A gutless individual, yes!
00:56:23 And it was always me
00:56:25 This jerk was waiting
00:56:28 He wouldn't have been bothered
00:56:33 What a stupid cunt I was!
00:56:45 It was my first night in the street.
00:58:59 I had lost some of my relatives
00:59:03 I had survived a war.
00:59:05 And it's a love story that
00:59:10 How goes it?
00:59:14 You're waking up?
00:59:17 Well, that was a close one!
00:59:20 It's a good thing we found you.
00:59:24 I strictly forbid you
00:59:29 - Last name?
00:59:30 - First name?
00:59:33 - Where do you live?
00:59:36 In Iran?
00:59:38 Can I make a phone call?
00:59:41 Hello?
00:59:42 - Daddy?
00:59:45 We were worried to death
00:59:48 Daddy... Can I come back?
00:59:51 - Of course.
00:59:54 No, I promise you.
00:59:57 I'm putting you through to your mother.
00:59:59 - Marjane?
01:00:02 Come back home.
01:00:05 - Mom...
01:00:08 It's a promise.
01:00:18 Don't you have anything forbidden?
01:00:21 Pork, alcohol, cards, music,
01:00:26 No, sir.
01:00:27 Arrange your veil.
01:00:30 Yes, sir.
01:00:32 You can go.
01:00:41 It's Marji!
01:00:43 - My daughter...
01:00:46 - You're here.
01:00:48 You're here.
01:00:59 I saw the Alborz mountains again.
01:01:03 My father was wondering if he had
01:01:07 We took the breakfast together,
01:01:11 My mother had prepared
01:01:15 Nothing had changed,
01:01:18 nothing would be like before.
01:01:22 My parents kept their word
01:01:26 I didn't feel very comfortable
01:01:31 The future might get brighter
01:01:35 The war is over for sure.
01:01:39 but people forgot why
01:01:42 Let her breath.
01:01:44 She's coming!
01:01:46 No, no, mom.
01:01:51 The West sold weapons
01:01:53 We had been stupid enough
01:01:57 8 years of war for nothing.
01:02:00 A million dead for nothing.
01:02:04 The last days had been horrifying.
01:02:07 A month before the armistice,
01:02:12 As if it had to be wiped
01:02:15 Just before the ceasefire,
01:02:17 the government got scared because
01:02:23 The government was afraid of
01:02:27 So the state decided to put
01:02:31 They proposed to the convicts
01:02:34 to renounce their ideals, to promise
01:02:38 and to serve their sentence
01:02:41 or to be executed.
01:02:47 Most of them were executed.
01:02:59 That's it.
01:03:00 Now streets are
01:03:03 That's all that's left to famillies.
01:03:09 When you walk in Teheran,
01:03:11 it's like being in a cemetery.
01:03:30 You've really grown!
01:03:32 You'll soon be able to
01:03:35 Grandma!
01:03:37 Tell me.
01:03:39 How was Vienna?
01:03:41 Well, yeah...
01:03:44 Do you remember Mina?
01:03:46 Of course, she's my cousin.
01:03:48 she got married.
01:03:52 She's still as stupid as before.
01:03:53 And Shila, do you remember her?
01:03:55 - Yes .
01:03:57 She has hair on her face.
01:04:01 And do you remember Mojdeh?
01:04:03 I remember everybody.
01:04:05 She got a divorce.
01:04:08 Well, that's what Shahri said.
01:04:13 You'll see them all soon.
01:04:16 Oh no!
01:04:17 Well, yes...
01:04:23 You must be speaking German now.
01:04:26 Yes, a little.
01:04:27 I know how to say
01:04:31 Vienna reminds me of
01:04:34 You saw Romy Schneider?
01:04:37 Marjane...
01:04:39 and you in my heart.
01:04:43 What a nun face! It's doesn't
01:04:46 Really?
01:04:47 Talk a little!
01:04:50 I don't know...
01:04:51 How are the night clubs in Vienna?
01:04:54 Well... I didn't go out much.
01:04:57 - I don't like night clubs too much.
01:04:59 Did you have sex?
01:05:01 Well, yes.
01:05:02 Is it good?
01:05:03 It depends.
01:05:04 What?
01:05:07 - Join a nursery school.
01:05:30 I can't bear it anymore!
01:05:32 I can't stand it any longer.
01:05:34 Damn hairdresser!
01:05:36 - You're not worthy of my son!
01:05:39 Hello!
01:05:42 Marjane just went out.
01:05:44 All right, I'll tell her.
01:05:45 Good bye.
01:05:47 Stop watching tv!
01:05:54 You're ruining the
01:05:58 Go and meet people!
01:05:59 Everybody is pissing me off.
01:06:01 Out of 7 million inhabitants,
01:06:04 isn't there one person who
01:06:08 There was Kia, my childhood friend,
01:06:12 When I saw him,
01:06:15 He was almost dead.
01:06:17 Kia went to war.
01:06:19 He lost an arm and a leg.
01:06:24 We even laughed.
01:06:29 Yes. For him, it's his whole
01:06:32 Yet, he laughed about it.
01:06:34 Hmm.
01:06:35 It's the only way to bear
01:06:39 Whatever I repeat myself,
01:06:42 It's still unbearable.
01:06:44 What I endured lies too heavy on me,
01:06:48 - You see?
01:06:50 My relatives have suffered so much.
01:06:53 I was a stranger in Austria
01:06:57 I see.
01:06:59 It's a nervous breakdown.
01:07:02 There are some effective treatments.
01:07:05 I'll prescribe some medication.
01:07:22 Don't you want to come with us?
01:07:26 No. I want to be alone.
01:07:29 Don't worry.
01:08:55 So, kiddo, what are you doing here?
01:08:58 Well... I'm dead.
01:09:00 My child,
01:09:03 Oh really?
01:09:04 My daughter,
01:09:07 He's right for once!
01:09:09 You've got much to do.
01:09:16 Go and do what you have to do.
01:09:21 Don't forget that the fight goes on!
01:09:24 Yeah, yeah.
01:09:57 Rising up
01:10:01 Did my time
01:10:05 Went the distance
01:10:08 Just a man and his will to survive
01:10:12 lt's the eye of the tiger
01:10:17 Rising up to the challenge of our rival
01:10:21 And the last known survivor
01:10:25 And he's watching us all in the eye
01:10:30 Of the tiger
01:10:39 I'm so hungry!
01:10:40 - Didn't you eat yet?
01:10:43 - Are you nuts?
01:10:46 She's reading it all the time!
01:10:52 It looks like you've
01:10:54 Enough! I'm ashamed.
01:10:56 We'll talk about Botticelli.
01:10:59 Venus Birth in particular.
01:11:02 We could also...
01:11:04 call it The Spring,
01:11:07 ..Botticelli's mythology
01:11:11 Hey! You, there!

01:11:51 We were looking for happiness

01:13:40 Over there.
01:13:41 That's him!
01:13:43 Aren't you ashamed?

01:14:38 Shame on you!

01:15:50 To have an indecent behavior is like
01:15:55 So, I'm asking to all
01:15:57 tighter trousers and
01:16:01 They must cover their hair
01:16:04 Does anybody have a question?

01:16:10 Our cowls are short,
01:16:13 we put on a lot of make-up, etc.
01:16:15 I spend a lot of
01:16:17 I need to be able to move
01:16:20 A longer cowl makes it difficult.
01:16:24 Our trousers efficiently
01:16:28 Knowing that those trousers
01:16:31 is the religion defending
01:16:34 or is it simply
01:16:37 You make comments about us
01:16:40 have many different clothes
01:16:42 Sometimes, we can even
01:16:46 Why is it that as a woman,
01:16:48 I'm not allowed to feel anything
01:16:53 while men can get excited on
01:16:57 It's great. It's as if you had
01:17:02 Take off this fucking cowl.
01:17:06 I tend to forget it.
01:17:10 Don't ever forget it.
01:17:12 It's fear that makes us
01:17:16 It's also changing us into cowards.
01:17:19 You had guts.
01:17:20 I'm proud of you.
01:17:25 - I want to leave.
01:17:27 To the USA or to Europe.
01:17:30 Where in Europe?
01:17:31 I can't stand living
01:17:33 What about us?
01:17:34 You'll come with me.
01:17:36 - I don't want to leave.
01:17:40 Sooner or later,
01:17:43 You can die in the West,
01:17:47 Don't worry.
01:17:50 We'll manage.
01:17:57 What's your relationship with him?
01:18:00 Good.
01:18:01 We'll call your parents.
01:18:04 Either they pay
01:18:16 When your mother and I were 15,
01:18:21 Oh la la!
01:18:23 And yet it was in this country.
01:18:28 You know, that's how
01:18:33 You have to be careful.
01:18:35 I think it's better if you're
01:18:49 This situation is unbearable.
01:18:52 We're like prisoners.
01:18:56 Yeah... We can only get married.
01:19:01 So?
01:19:25 - Did you cry, mom?
01:19:31 I always wanted you to be
01:19:35 And now you're getting married
01:19:37 I want you to leave Iran
01:19:42 It's fine.
01:19:43 Trust me.
01:19:56 - Did you see the car keys?
01:19:59 I left them here.
01:20:01 I don't know.
01:20:06 They were here.
01:20:28 We don't share anything anymore.
01:20:30 You're the ideal couple to us.
01:20:33 Ideal couple, my ass!
01:20:35 What? You want my picture?
01:20:38 Asshole!
01:20:39 Not so long ago,
01:20:43 It's impossible to know...
01:20:46 until we live under the same roof.
01:20:48 What will you do?
01:20:52 I don't know.
01:20:53 My sister left
01:20:57 As soon as she got a divorce,
01:20:59 all men wanted to
01:21:03 The butcher proposed her.
01:21:05 Then the baker and the greengrocer.
01:21:08 And even the beggars.
01:21:11 Men are convinced that
01:21:14 and that a divorced woman will
01:21:20 Stay with your husband
01:21:30 Something's wrong?
01:21:34 Don't get yourself
01:21:36 Excuse me.
01:21:37 What is this sorrow for?
01:21:40 Grandma!
01:21:42 It's terrible!
01:21:44 What's so terrible?
01:21:46 I think that... I think that
01:21:49 I think we'll part.
01:21:51 So this is your terrible thing?
01:21:54 I thought somebody had died!
01:21:57 You've no idea what you're saying!
01:22:00 And you're talking to me like that!
01:22:03 All those tears for a simple divorce!
01:22:11 Listen to me carefully.
01:22:13 I did it 55 years ago.
01:22:16 Back then,
01:22:19 I knew that I would be happier
01:22:23 But...
01:22:24 No buts!
01:22:25 A first wedding is a rough
01:22:29 It will be better next time.
01:22:37 You're crying because
01:22:40 It's hard to accept your own
01:25:22 Where were you?
01:25:24 I was very worried.
01:25:27 Nima is dead.
01:25:29 Huh? What?
01:25:31 Nima is dead.
01:25:36 I'm leaving you.
01:25:41 The time had come for me to leave.
01:25:44 I decided to go to France.
01:25:46 I had to wait 3 months for a visa.
01:25:51 I went to the Caspian sea
01:25:54 where I filled my lungs with
01:25:59 An air like nowhere else.
01:26:10 Then I promised grandpa
01:26:20 Then I wnet behind the prison
01:26:22 where my uncle Anouche was resting,
01:26:25 somewhere next to
01:26:27 I promised him to try to be true
01:26:45 Then, one day, the time
01:26:48 My father cried, as usual.
01:26:55 you're leaving forever.
01:26:57 Iran of today isn't for you.
01:27:00 I forbid you to come back.
01:27:02 Yes, mom.
01:27:04 My sweet little girl!
01:27:26 I never saw my grandma again.
01:27:30 She died a little later.
01:27:33 Freedom always has a price.
01:28:20 Ah! What a shitty weather!
01:28:24 Where do you come from?
01:28:28 Iran.
01:28:32 Grandma, you always smell good.
01:28:35 I pick up jasmine
01:28:38 and I put them in my bra.
01:28:41 This way, I always smell good.
01:28:44 Wow! It's great!
