00:00Father, finally, after so many years of mutual trust and love, doubt is cast over our relationship.
00:10All those years of loneliness and pain caused Mother to speak to a stranger whose name is Captain Mirab.
00:16A man that Mother blames for the incident that led to your death.
00:20Father, I'm starting to feel like I'm an extra burden.
00:23I feel like a pest whose presence, pride and selfishness kept Mother from looking at her own life in a rational way all these years.
00:31Or maybe it's all the letters I write to you.
00:34Maybe they've stopped Mother from even considering the things that can disturb my thoughts.
00:39Forgive me, Father.
00:41Forgive me for making this letter sound so doubtful.
00:45I don't want to think of anything else, but the image I've created from Mother,
00:49my hero throughout all these years of loneliness in my mind.
00:53Okay, thank you very much.
01:16Who are you here to see?
01:20Hello. I'm sorry.
01:23I said, who are you here to see?
01:26I, I, I didn't want anything. I was just about to say I'm, well, um, um, I...
01:31Is that how it is? You're acting some kind of role?
01:36Role? So you've seen my film then?
01:39Oh, so you're an actress then, are you?
01:43Well then, I must know you.
01:45I don't know, maybe. The film was Where's the Girl from the Farm, yes.
01:49Are you from out of town, or what?
01:53Yes, I'm from the north.
01:55From the north, that's good.
01:57Was it raining in the north?
01:59Um, um, no, no, no, no.
02:01I think it rained a lot last night, or the night before, or something like that, yes.
02:05What film is it that you said you acted in again?
02:19It's Where's the Girl from the Farm, yes.
02:21Maybe the film's name should rather have been The Girl in the Sneakers.
02:37Did you bring any cookies?
02:38No, no, I mean, I didn't have time, but I wanted to bring some.
02:42Okay.
02:43You didn't have time to buy cookies and you're wearing sneakers?
02:47Yeah, I guess.
02:48Didn't have time for cookies, wearing sneakers.
02:54Maybe you've run away from home.
02:56You don't even know who you're here to see.
03:00She's here to see us, Mr. Archelieu.
03:03Why didn't she just say so then?
03:05Hello? Hello, Mrs. Perouk, it's me, Leila.
03:08I just got here from Rushd, I'm Arazu's cousin.
03:11Please, please open the door.
03:14Come on in, darling.
03:17Well, that's if your interrogation is over now.
03:21Until the next round, I have no further questions for you, my dear.
03:24Uh, I'm sorry.
03:25If you're on.
03:26Excuse me.
03:26Bye.
03:26You were quite lucky, girl.
03:37You were lucky that Farouk stepped in just on time.
03:40Okay, thank you so much, ma'am.
03:41God bless you.
03:42I mean it, thank you.
03:44He was asking her so many questions, the poor girl had forgotten her own name.
03:47She's right.
03:48That's exactly what happened, Arazu.
03:50I'm sorry.
03:51I'm sorry for coming by completely unannounced and putting me through so much trouble.
03:54Really.
03:55Well, we're happy you're here, but you should have just called us and told us you're coming.
03:58By the way, why didn't you bring out Esmat with you?
04:01And how's Omid doing?
04:03Is he okay?
04:04And Benham?
04:04Is Benham okay?
04:05Oh, I really miss him so much.
04:06Oh, he really misses you too.
04:07And Omid's gone on a mission.
04:09Benham will be home soon, so don't worry about that.
04:12Are you serious?
04:13I really hope so.
04:14How's Mamud doing these days?
04:16Is he used to living alone yet?
04:18Well, um, Uncle Mahmood is fine.
04:22He's doing all right.
04:23But Miss Baruch, he's so broken-hearted.
04:26He's so broken-hearted.
04:27Um, um, I'm sorry that I came here with my work clothes.
04:31It's fine.
04:32I wish you'd worn your other work clothes.
04:34You know, the one that Omid believes if you put them in an art gallery as an artwork,
04:38you can sell them as an artwork and make a lot of money from them.
04:40Oh, yes.
04:42Good for you, Matab, dear.
04:44Good for you.
04:45You know how to paint.
04:46You can put paint all over your clothes.
04:47Well, you can do whatever you want, anyway.
04:50And Arazu writes poems.
04:52She paints.
04:52No, I mixed you two up now.
04:54I'm so sorry.
04:54I mixed you up.
04:55I'm so sorry.
04:56She writes poems and stories, and she's an artist.
04:59She knows how to do many things.
05:01Oh, Tehran's great.
05:03Tehran's so great.
05:05Anyone who comes here, their talent starts to grow.
05:07I mean it.
05:08It's just so great.
05:11By the way, what films are showing at the cinema?
05:13The Girl in the Sneakers is showing at the moment.
05:16Really?
05:17Matab, let's go and see it.
05:18Please, let's go right now.
05:19Right now?
05:20Come on, I'm begging you.
05:21Please, let's go.
05:22Come on.
05:22It'll be so much fun.
05:23Oh, you sneaky girl.
05:26No, no, no, no.
05:28I told you to look before you take a leap.
05:31He's a clever one, that kid.
05:33He might find out what's going on in your head.
05:37Okay, lay low for a while.
05:40Stay away from him for some time, until I find out what's going on, and then...
05:44What?
05:46Well, yes.
05:48Of course they don't know that I did it.
05:50I told you, I told you my rifle would come in handy one day.
05:54I was right, you see.
05:56I'm talking about the jackals.
05:59By the way, there's a stranger in their house.
06:04Yes, it seemed like she's someone's relative.
06:08Aha, if I'm not mistaken, I saw her at Omen's wedding.
06:12Yes.
06:13What?
06:18She's suspicious?
06:19What am I saying?
06:20Of course she is.
06:23Who's there?
06:24It's Ben Arms, sir.
06:26Your neighbour from upstairs.
06:41Hello, sir.
06:42How are you?
06:43Hello.
06:43Uh, this is Layla.
06:46She's my cousin, and she's from Rushed.
06:49She'll be staying with us for a couple of days.
06:50And what do I care?
06:54Um, I just wanted you to know who she is, so that you won't think she's a stranger, you know?
07:00Apparently she's changed her shoes, I see.
07:09What?
07:10Yes, yes, I changed them.
07:13Well, just try not to go on the rooftop, because the outcome won't be so good.
07:18Why?
07:19The last two people...
07:21Okay, Mr. Agilou, I think you're not feeling well.
07:24I'm not, not at all.
07:26Gently, slowly, and without any fear, let me set you free, my dear.
07:35Free of the exhausted thought in your mind, which are struggling with an unimaginable longing of the heart.
07:41To a point where I can also believe in enthusiasm.
07:43To a point where I can believe in that moment, one day, when we meet again, and I can get lost in your eyes once more.
07:55But until that day, the tears on my cheeks will slowly bespeak his arrival.
08:02Beautiful.
08:03So beautiful.
08:07Arazu, you created the image of longing so beautifully.
08:11Really beautiful.
08:12Waiting is hard, isn't it, Arazu?
08:16Very hard.
08:18I'm really sorry, Arazu.
08:19Very hard.
08:23So, tell me more about yourself, Leila.
08:25Why did you come to Tehran?
08:27Well, because I want to be an actress.
08:31An actress?
08:33Uh-huh.
08:34You also don't like it.
08:36No.
08:37To be honest with you, I'm just surprised, that's all.
08:40I mean, how did you all of a sudden just decide to become an actress?
08:44Oh, you know I love acting.
08:46I've always wanted to do it.
08:49I found out that I'm really talented.
08:51In this film I recently acted in, you know.
08:53Oh, come on, really.
08:57You only had a very short role in that film, Leila.
08:59I saw it.
09:02But you read the papers and saw all the good things they said about me, right?
09:06Don't you remember?
09:07Yes.
09:08But being an actress is not that easy at all, my dear.
09:12It's very hard.
09:15There's a lot you have to know.
09:17You have to go to training, go to acting school.
09:21It's a lot of practice.
09:22Ah, no way.
09:24All you really need is good connections.
09:28Tomorrow I'm going to see the director of the film I was in.
09:31I'm sure he's going to give me a role.
09:33You think this is an easy job?
09:35It's not easy at all.
09:36It is easy.
09:37Aunt Esmat, Bozu, how on earth did they even agree to this, Leila?
09:45How did you convince them to let you do this?
09:48Oh, just be quiet.
09:51Arazu, please.
09:53Will you go there with me tomorrow, please?
10:00Well, of course I won't, my dear.
10:02Um, well, I'll just ask Matab to go with me.
10:09Matab will go with you.
10:10Yes, ask Matab.
10:11So go then.
10:13Aziz, I'm telling you this because I love you, don't you understand?
10:17Yes.
10:18Just forget about the screenplay completely, okay?
10:20Just put it out of your head.
10:24Just put it on the pile of rejects.
10:26You can take my word for it, capisce?
10:28I told you, this was an industrial piece of work.
10:33Not just a simple, dull work of art, capisce?
10:37You have to make money with money, Aziz.
10:44I mean, the story about two people in a desert.
10:48That's not a story.
10:50No.
10:51It's not like you're trying to make a melodrama.
10:53Make, make, make a love triangle instead.
10:59We're living in the age of love, my love.
11:02Romantic films are selling, capisce?
11:04Capisce?
11:06Capisce or not?
11:07You know what you must do?
11:09You must build us a hero.
11:10Build us a hero that will take out a hundred people.
11:13Pew!
11:14A hundred people with just one punch.
11:17That's what's going to sell, capisce?
11:20Plus, there are loads of young, beautiful actors out there for you.
11:24God bless them.
11:27Literally hundreds of them.
11:29They'll come and stand in front of your camera and pay you for it as well.
11:33They'll actually put money in your pocket and spend cash on you to stand in front of your camera.
11:39Yeah, capisce?
11:40That's what sells.
11:42Robert De Niro isn't the guy you need.
11:44Ah, in a long shot.
11:48In a long shot, you can make them run.
11:52Run like the wind.
11:53In slow motion.
11:55Yeah.
11:56Ah.
11:57Make them go fast.
12:01Medium shot.
12:04Tell them to go to the top.
12:06Up to the seventh floor.
12:07Tenth, even twentieth floor.
12:09And then, in the close-up, tell them to shout like this.
12:13Ah!
12:14And he'll shout, my dear.
12:16That sells.
12:17That's what's going to break the box office records.
12:20Capisce?
12:21Capisce?
12:22Capisce?
12:22Understand?
12:25And why don't you throw in a soundtrack, maybe?
12:27You know what?
12:40Tell the guy to tear his shirt open and shout at the top of his lungs.
12:44We don't want deep acting or mimicking and things like that.
12:47That's just not what we want.
12:49You know what you do.
12:50Go down to Earthly Star Studio and check out the top actors there and see.
12:55See what they do for a bard.
12:56I swear, Aziz, right this moment, right this moment, if you set foot in that studio,
13:02you'll see a whole bunch of young, handsome and fine-looking actors
13:07just sitting there and waiting to audition for a part.
13:10Go there now, you'll see.
13:12Matab, are you listening?
13:14He's talking about Earthly Stars Studio. They're holding auditions.
13:17Yes, so what?
13:18Well, nothing.
13:21I have the address.
13:24So what am I supposed to do now, then?
13:26I'm really sorry, man.
13:33I mean, I have a lot of problems.
13:38There's nothing I can do for you at this point.
13:41You hear me?
13:44But, Aziz, I have a suggestion.
13:48I think what you have to do is make friends with some art lovers and artists.
13:52We'll start a corporation.
13:54How's that sound?
13:55Huh?
13:55I think that sounds like a great idea.
14:00What do you think?
14:01I told you before, I still owe money to people because of my last work.
14:07I swear I'm in debt myself for the pre-production of the film we're making.
14:20Listen, Aziz, I know a couple of young actors who are crazy about acting.
14:25And I'm sure they'll play any role that you give them, right?
14:28I'll send them to your office.
14:30I'll send them to your office.
14:30How's that?
14:32How's that?
14:33Okay.
14:35Thanks for coming.
14:36I'll figure something out.
14:38You're not upset, are you?
14:39No, why would I be?
14:41I came here wearing my steel boots, you know?
14:43Take off your steel boots and put on some boots of love this time.
14:46Make films with love and sell them with love.
14:48Okay?
14:49Goodbye.
14:49Goodbye.
14:50Excuse me, these ladies have been waiting to see you for a long time.
14:54Hello.
14:55How are you?
14:56Fine, thanks.
14:56Do you remember me?
14:58In Ghilain, your film shooting location.
15:00In the rice field.
15:01Do you remember me, Leila?
15:02Come in.
15:03Come on.
15:04So you came all the way down here from Ghilain to become an actress, did you?
15:18Tell me, do you want to be an actor or to be famous?
15:22Well, I want to be a famous actor, actually.
15:24So people can point at you and know who you are, am I right?
15:28Well, naturally.
15:29Obviously, everyone loves a famous actor, yes.
15:32And do you think you have what it takes, then?
15:34What do you think, ma'am?
15:43Does your friend have what it takes to be admired and praised by people?
15:48Well, to be perfectly honest, in my opinion, in every field of work, every person needs some preparation to be good.
15:55Exactly.
15:56Preparations.
15:57You know that acting is a speciality.
15:59You know that it requires academic education.
16:02And intelligence and talent will make your progress faster.
16:05But why did you give me a part in your film, then?
16:09For that role, I needed a non-actor.
16:11A girl from the village.
16:12You have to accept the fact that you weren't really acting.
16:17You were being yourself.
16:18And that's why it works so well.
16:21This is completely different.
16:23Some people can't even do that.
16:24But they wrote so many good things about me in the papers.
16:29One of them said I was the reason your film felt so real.
16:33Listen to me.
16:34The praising and admiration, cheering and recognition won't make an act out of you.
16:40You have to go to university, study and practice.
16:43That is if you want to be an artist.
16:44But if you just want to be famous, if you just want to be recognised by people for a while,
16:50you don't need to go study.
16:52Of course, in that case, you'll need other things.
16:55What do I need?
16:58Connections.
17:00Money.
17:00You need links.
17:02I'm sorry.
17:03Really sorry to say this.
17:06A pretty face.
17:07If the film sells.
17:08If not, it'll be your first and last film.
17:13He made it sound like all the actors that are famous have beautiful faces.
17:16Let's go.
