00:00Hey you! Sir!
00:10Hello ma'am.
00:12What are you doing here? Who are you?
00:14I am... I'm Hamoud's classmate.
00:16His classmate? Or his roommate?
00:18I'm his guest for a little while.
00:20Yeah, right. That's what you said and I believed you.
00:23You see, I know you young people very well.
00:26You think you're so very clever.
00:28When you first come, you're just three.
00:30Then you're four.
00:32And every night you have a guest.
00:34Well, just say you're five already and leave me alone.
00:37Believe me, I don't tend to stay here.
00:39Now just see if I return here again.
00:41Our contract was for four people.
00:43I barely can take the noise of four people, let alone five people.
00:47The noise of you laughing on one side.
00:50And the noise of your broken radio on the other side.
00:53Now please forgive us, please.
00:54I'm going to have a talk with Mahmoud tonight.
00:56I'm going to clear everything up with him.
00:58That poor guy gave me a place to stay just for one night.
01:00Go on, get out.
01:01Get out of this house.
01:03Don't come back.
01:07Close the door on your way out.
01:10No, I'm not gonna fall.
01:12I've worked so hard for my cause.
01:14I didn't take any extra classes.
01:16I had no tutors.
01:17My old parents are waiting for me to return and teach those children who are working knee-deep in the mud of the rice fields.
01:24The children who reflect on my own childhood.
01:27Hello, yes.
01:33Hello.
01:34How are you?
01:35Hello, sir.
01:36Hello.
01:37Are you okay?
01:38I want to rent a room, please.
01:39No, no, no.
01:40We don't have any.
01:41Not for that price.
01:42No, man.
01:43They've taken them all up to the base.
01:46That's not the price.
01:47Yes, two million plus twenty thousand a month.
02:11It's a forty meters with a twenty meter room.
02:14The bathroom and the kitchen are in the yard.
02:17What about the other twenty meters?
02:18The hall and the living room?
02:19No.
02:20It's the kitchen, the toilet, the washroom and the bathroom.
02:22Did you count the yard as part of that area?
02:24No.
02:25They put a plastic over the yard to stop the rain.
02:28You can easily do your cooking.
02:30No, sir.
02:31It's not good for me.
02:32Anyway, I'll go.
02:33It's expensive like this.
02:34Look, wait.
02:35I have one for you.
02:36It's cheaper.
02:40Please, go in.
02:42It's here.
02:43Here it is.
02:49Please.
02:50It's downstairs.
02:57The up and down doesn't matter.
02:58It's downstairs?
02:59It's a separate room with a separate bathroom.
03:02And this is the yard.
03:03It used to be my son's room.
03:05He's gone for military service in Ajabjir.
03:08This is the bathroom and kitchen and this is the room over here.
03:18What is this furniture?
03:19It belongs to my son.
03:21Do you like it?
03:26Yeah.
03:27And this is the yard.
03:28It's a good and quiet place.
03:29You can sit here in the afternoon and enjoy it.
03:31Now how much rent do you want?
03:32One and a half plus.
03:33Thirty thousand.
03:34One and a half?
03:35Don't be stingy.
03:36Nobody will give you a place at this price.
03:38It's a nice quiet place here.
03:39Could you give me a discount?
03:40Okay.
03:41We'll agree somehow then.
03:42How many are you?
03:43I'm alone.
03:44Alone?
03:45So you're single then?
03:46Yes, sir.
03:47I'm a student.
03:48In the beginning.
03:49How come?
03:50Because I'm not prepared to rent my room to a bachelor.
03:51Why?
03:52Aren't single people human?
03:53Please don't argue with me.
03:54Go on.
03:55Go on.
04:18Sadi, you can't find a pearl on the shore.
04:27Step within a whale's palate.
04:31If you desire a pearl, it's within a lion's mouth.
04:37Risk your life and take it from the lion's mouth.
04:41Have great efforts, as the men of today have reached their goals with their great efforts.
04:48You can't see them expect a miracle.
04:51Take a step and God will bless you.
04:58But Dad, how much can I trouble them?
05:00I guess this for a day or two, at most ten days.
05:03I can't stay at my cousin's house till the end of the university.
05:07Tehran doesn't have empty rooms.
05:09Oh, go and watch for yourself and you'll get dizzy.
05:12The whole of Tehran is filled with high towers.
05:14The rent is so high.
05:16What can I do?
05:17Don't insist, my dear.
05:19Don't insist.
05:20I don't have money.
05:23How much?
05:25Father, the two hundred Thomans has no money here.
05:29They'll laugh at me.
05:30If I find an empty room, I'll stay.
05:34If not, I'm coming back.
05:36Goodbye now.
05:37In the crowds of all these high towers, these ever shining lights, isn't there a small light shining for me?
05:47Mother, I want to go play.
05:49No, you can't.
05:50I said let's go in.
05:51Let's go in.
05:52No, no, I'm bored.
05:53I want to play.
05:54No, you can't.
05:55I said let's go in.
05:56No, no, no, no.
05:57That's enough.
05:58I don't want to.
05:59Calm down.
06:00Go inside the room now.
06:01Marjan, don't punish her or the poor thing.
06:02She's just a kid.
06:03I won't.
06:04I'm too uptight.
06:05I'm scared of you all in this house.
06:06Come on.
06:07Go in the room.
06:08I won't.
06:09I want to play.
06:10Come on.
06:11Enter your room.
06:12Hurry.
06:13Leave me alone.
06:14Come on.
06:15Marjan, my cousin's wife.
06:16It's not her fault.
06:17It's her home.
06:19She wants to be comfortable in her house.
06:23And poor Said is stuck between me and his wife.
06:27What if his landlord tells him to leave because of me?
06:31We teach from morning till night.
06:33We talk and teach in public and private places.
06:36In schools and people's homes.
06:39We make a penny or two, which is enough to rent a very small apartment.
06:45In a blink of an eye, our 30 years of work will be over.
06:50And we won't even have a shed to sleep in.
06:53Or a drop of water to drink.
06:56So don't be upset with me, Marjan.
06:59She can't move in the 40 or 50 meters of space that she has.
07:03She's right.
07:04When a guest comes, it's worse.
07:07I'll come and see you if you like it.
07:10Are you a student?
07:12Yes.
07:13Oh yeah.
07:14We don't have one with that budget.
07:16Yes, yes.
07:17I'll arrange it.
07:18Come and see it tomorrow.
07:19Anytime you want.
07:20One of these dubbed movies of yours.
07:24Not for the movie, but for your warm voice.
07:26You're too kind.
07:28Anyway, artists are so dear to us.
07:33As the poet says, artists are very precious and of great value.
07:38This is all true.
07:39But now we're really of no value.
07:41Oh dear.
07:42You're the apple of our eyes.
07:43You have a special place in our hearts.
07:45You're too kind.
07:46If you want my opinion, stick to the place where you're living now.
07:50If you want to move now, you have to pay a commission here.
07:54Then you have a lot of furniture to move.
07:56All in all, it's going to be very expensive for you.
08:00Just stick to the place you're living in now.
08:02You're living in now.
08:32Hello, ma'am.
08:33Hello, sir.
08:34I've come to this address to see the room for rent.
08:38It's taken.
08:41It's taken?
08:42Yes.
08:43Thank you very much.
08:53You printed my name in the newspapers.
08:55You told me I was accepted here.
08:57You invited me to your polluted city.
09:00This is not the way to treat guests.
09:17Yes, how can I help you?
09:18Hello, professor.
09:19Sorry.
09:20I'm a student in your class.
09:21Literature major.
09:22I know we have half its sonnets course.
09:24May I come in, please?
09:25Yes, you came.
09:26But you came late, my dear.
09:27Why now?
09:28I'm sorry.
09:29Why, professor?
09:30Because the class started 30 minutes ago.
09:32I was with a real estate agent.
09:33I'm looking for a house, professor.
09:34That's your problem, not mine.
09:36There are 49 students in this class.
09:3850 people with me.
09:41You've been arguing with me for 30 seconds.
09:4430 seconds for 50 people means 25 minutes.
09:47You've wasted 25 minutes of our time.
09:49If Hafiz was here, he wouldn't have accepted.
09:52I'm sorry for you.
09:53I have accepted.
09:54I'm sorry for you.
09:55I'm sorry for you.
09:56I'm sorry for you.
09:57I'm sorry for you.
09:58I'm sorry for you.
09:59I'm sorry for you.
10:00I'm sorry for you.
10:01You and me.
10:02There are 50 minutes.
10:03It's $30.
10:04Highlight.
10:05There are 50 familiar people who are now.
10:06There are 50 issues.
10:07In the past, there are 60.
10:08and there are 50 people who are now.
10:09Oh
10:34Oh
10:39The city of 72 nations, the city of much commotion, a city with no attachments, the city with
10:53ever shining lights, the city of far away dreams.
10:59We want everyone to participate in this discussion, everyone, whatever situation they're in.
11:04With homes or without homes, landlords, tenants, students, dorm supervisors, minister, lawyers,
11:12MPs, everyone.
11:14Yes, everyone, come on, let's talk together openly.
12:16For Mr. Pejman's attention, we have a few recorded messages from a few tenants, a few
12:23fortunate landlords and an Afghan poet.
12:26And finally, at the very end, the most important one, an advisor to the minister.
12:33Again, more promises.
12:40Please, please.

13:12Hey boy
13:14Hey boy
13:16Who are you?

13:19What? Do I have to pay the rent here to sleep in the ruin?
13:21This isn't a ruin
13:22This was supposed to be a big development
13:25Oh yeah? I have to leave a deposit
13:27It needs rent
13:28I should have gone to a real estate agent and signed a contract
13:30Tell me how much money? How much?
13:33Here you go. Here's the money. Here's the rent
13:35Come on. Take it

14:10Drink it
