An Iranian boy travels to Paris to study. There, he meets and falls in love with a young Jewish girl. But when World War II breaks out, he's forced to return home, thus, he manages to smuggle the girl and her mother to Iran in order to save them from the Nazis who've occupied France. While Iran itself is occupied by foreign forces, the young man helps to launch a newspaper focused on preserving and promoting the country's heritage and culture. But it won’t be easy since political intrigues threaten to destroy everything he holds dear.

00:00Captain Schmidt Meyer?
00:02We'd better go back or they'll get suspicious of us.
00:05Yeah, you're right. Go ahead. I'll join you later.
00:11Captain, they're asking for you.
00:15Good evening.
00:16Evening.
00:17Diplomatic protocols don't care for such things, they're not.
00:30Your absence of the host's wife is suspicious in the extreme.
00:34And if we're not very careful right now, it'll be considered an insult to our esteemed guests.
00:39Oh, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
00:42If I assume correctly, the famous Parisian seductress Madame Alexandria and the rest of the notorious ladies at our parties
00:49are entertaining the German soldiers downstairs with their usual skill,
00:53and nobody will notice the absence of an insignificant woman like me.
00:57To be honest, I'm beginning to despise these circumstances.
01:00The Imperial Embassy has been turned into a party house for a bunch of disgusting, murderous Germans!
01:05Keep your voice down.
01:07It appears that these past few months if you're associating with these Europeans.
01:11has made you forget precisely what your place is here.
01:15They speak of equality between men and women.
01:18And they teach democracy and equal rights.
01:20You seem to have gotten confused.
01:22You have no idea what you're saying now.
01:24You're just a hysterical woman!
01:26Right. I won't try and deny it.
01:28I thought mingling with them would be useful for my development.
01:31But now that I've given it some thought, I can see it's obvious men are too stupid to understand.
01:38You won't ever change. Until the day you die, you will always be the daughter of that darn wretched family of yours,
01:45without a curse in Kaja blood.
01:47If you ask me, I should have had your relatives sent to the same damned hellhole,
01:51the likes of that Madaris, Nasrin O'Dully, and Commander Asada!
01:56I don't deny it.
01:58Sometimes in my darkest hour, when I'm in the depths of despair,
02:01I wish in my heart that you had sent me back.
02:04Because then I wouldn't have to endure the torture of being turned into a mere slave
02:10by the dominating lunatic that you have turned out to be.
02:14This dominating lunatic's only crime is wanting to save the lives of dozens of people!
02:19And whose lives are you saving?
02:21Remember the night that Jewish-Iranian came here, Davut Tizabgar?
02:26He's a young man.
02:28Did you even bother to ask me why he came to the Embassy in the first place?
02:32No.
02:34There are dozens of Iranian Jews living in Paris,
02:37who are in a great deal of danger because of the Germans.
02:41The animosity that the Nazis have towards Jewish people
02:45means these families can't leave the city.
02:48This dominating lunatic is trying to find a way to save,
02:52to save the lives of these Jews.
02:54But I cannot achieve this without getting close to the high-ranking Nazi officers sitting downstairs.
03:01So now do you understand what I'm trying to do?
03:05The German ambassador said he wants to hear you play the piano again.
03:09One thing, I want you to wear the same perfume you were wearing
03:13when I came to see you at your father's house for the very first time.
03:31Culture gwent Afghanistan
03:33You don't want to wear it!
03:35Probably not anyone, no two things.
03:37We are so sorry to hear you alone.
03:41Yeah.
03:43Eenja.
05:15You might find it interesting that Iranian Jews aren't actually considered to be a part of the global Jewish community.
05:23I don't quite understand. Are they Jewish or aren't they Jewish?
05:26Well, Major, the thing is that the Iranian followers of the religion of Moses have been living and working among Iranian Aryans for 2,000 years.
05:38Over time, these Iranian Jews have become accustomed to our culture, traditions, and language.
05:42They have integrated and become Iranian.
05:46Hmm.
05:47Hmm.
05:47And as you can see, Major...
05:55Their religion is not listed as Jewish in their passports. Instead, they're listed as Mosaic, which proves they're not of Semite origins.
06:05It's obvious from the evidence you're holding right there in your hands that these people are in fact Iranian, not Jewish.
06:10Very well. I'll send your request to Berlin for further consultation. And I'll recommend that it be investigated as soon as possible, all right?
06:18All we ask is that these people's status be given due consideration. I want you to know that your cooperation on this matter will bring the nations of Iran and Germany much closer together in friendship.
06:29Well then, I must say I certainly hope you enjoyed yourself and the company of the beautiful Parisian ladies at the party last night.
06:37I trust they were to your liking, Major.
06:40Indeed, we had a most enjoyable time.
06:42Then I'd be honored if you'd accept my invitation to any future gatherings, Major. I'm sure we can further develop this relationship.
06:49If time permits, I'll attend.
06:50Is there any news?
07:19It's unbelievable. Germany's declared war on the Russians.
07:25I don't think it'll take any more than a couple of weeks for the Reich army to enter Moscow. The Russians don't have the strength to stand up to the German military.
07:33It's not quite as simple as you say. Germany's attack on the Russians will make the British happy. They'll go so far as seeking an alliance with the Russians.
07:41He's right. Churchill said that he's ready to strike a deal with the devil if it would give them any better chance of defeating the Germans.
07:47He might mean the Russians, right?
07:50But I'm sure the Germans will finish off the Russians.
07:52But well before any alliance can be formed. The British are way too occupied to be able to help the Russians out.
07:58The German warplanes are putting them all through hell right now.
08:04They've bombed British industrial installations, ports, and...
08:07Residential areas. It says right here in the paper that they bombed the place where they were supposed to judge the Miss England competition.
08:14What for? Because they're idiots. With no appreciation at all for life's finer things.
08:22If you had been there, then I'd be really happy.
08:29Well, they deserve everything that they can get. Those Anglo-Saxons have committed a great number of crimes in our country.
08:38But does that mean a bunch of women, children, and civilians should pay the price for their lives?
08:41Don't forget that Miss England paid a terrible price.
08:47Laugh it up, gigolo.
08:50Besides, war doesn't distinguish between such people, your holiness.
08:55Goodbye, my brothers.
09:00I hear Hitler doesn't have a child.
09:02But if he did, I'm sure it would have looked just like that in my head.
09:04Hey.
09:05Ladies or gentlemen, the Germans have announced that they have...
09:08that they have.
09:38Oh, oh, oh.
10:08Oh, oh, oh.
10:38Come in.
10:42Evening.
10:43Hey.
10:44You finally decided to pack up, have you?
10:47There's not much left here.
10:49Devarfer was telling me earlier that with the chaos of all the fighting, the roads and
10:53the western ports are way too overcrowded.
10:55Our trip might be delayed for another week or so.
10:58Really?
11:00Come on, you don't have to sound so upset about it.
11:03You expect me to sing and dance or something?
11:06Well, admit I've been waiting some time to see you cut a rug, my good friend.
11:10I can see you're not being well entertained these days.
11:14Oh, boy.
11:16I'm really missing the good old days.
11:19These stupid occupying Germans.
11:22They've transformed this place into a city of the dead.
11:25Are you going to tell me what's wrong with you?
11:27The Nazis have ordered Jews over the age of six in the occupied territories, including
11:38Paris, to start wearing the Star of David on their clothes.
11:41It must be visible at all times.
11:43They want to be able to identify them.
11:47What's it got to do with you?
11:49Is your mother a Jew?
11:51Or your dad?
11:52Just forget about it.
11:53I didn't expect this from you.
11:55Well, whenever I point out your head over heels for that Jewish girl, you deny it.
12:01You're twisting the situation, Artisher.
12:03What's it got to do with her?
12:05Look, don't think I'm not sympathetic to the situation you're in.
12:08Of course, I don't like hearing about what they're doing to the Jews.
12:11But I truly believe that there's absolutely nothing a person like me can do about it.
12:15So why stick my neck out trying to change things?
12:19Come in.
12:21There's a young French lady waiting downstairs by the door.
12:24Says she wanted to see you, Habib.
12:26Well, why didn't you invite the young lady to his room?
12:29I did, but she insisted on waiting downstairs for you.
12:32Ah.
12:34Thanks a lot.
12:41Miss Astrock?
12:54Hello.
12:56Hi there.
12:58It's unusual for me to be here at this time of night, isn't it?
13:02Not really.
13:03Would you like to come inside?
13:08It's not right for you to be seen with a Jewish girl.
13:11But I wouldn't have come if I weren't forced to.
13:15Is there something the matter?
13:19There's somewhere I need to take you, but we have to go there before the curfew.
13:22Will you come with me?
13:23Of course.
13:30But I need to get my coat.
13:32I'll be right back, okay?
13:33I'll be right back.
14:03Wilson, aren't you coming with us?
14:09Nah, you go ahead.
14:11I'll catch up later.
14:11Okay.
14:23My goodness.
14:25Something fishy is going on here.
14:27Aren't you going to tell me where we're going?
14:33Why are all you Easterners so impatient?
14:36We're like this when people are vague.
14:38Some people would say that life is completely full of vagueness.
14:42I guess so.
14:44I wonder if all this seems vague from up there.
14:46Well, when you grow some wings and fly, you'll find out.
14:49I'd like to, but the Nazis won't let me.
14:51Hey.
15:01Heil Hitler.
15:06Documents?
15:07Of course.
15:09Here.
15:10I've been an Iranian.
15:16Iranian?
15:16Uh-huh.
15:17Fine.
15:18Very good.
15:20Thanks.
15:22Really.
15:24No, not me.
15:26You have a good night.
15:28You have a good night.
