00:00You're accused of killing Mr. Jabba Parva. I have to arrest you.
00:26Is this Parva's house?
00:28I've brought the food from the restaurant.
00:30Come in, please.
00:32I've brought the food from the restaurant.
00:34I've brought the food from the restaurant.
00:44I've brought the food from the restaurant.
00:46I've brought the food from the restaurant.
00:56Hi.
00:58Thank you very much.
01:00Oh, you're welcome.
01:02I've brought the food from the restaurant.
01:04I'm sorry.
01:14Ziba.
01:16Hey, Ziba.
01:17They've brought the food.
01:18I'm sorry.
01:37How much do I pay?
01:38Don't worry about it.
01:39Thank you very much.
01:41345,000 tomans.
01:43You can pay it later.
01:44Thank you so much.
01:45Here you are.
01:46350,000 tomans.
01:49Keep the change.
01:58Where are the platters for the rice?
02:00Up there.
02:00Let me bring them for you.
02:01Miss Agdas, refill the pastry dishes.
02:03Sure, ma'am.
02:11It's good we told Agdas to come here.
02:13I'd forgotten about her.
02:14A lazy person knows what to remember.
02:16It seems that Uncle is selking and he doesn't want to show up and you're here in the kitchen
02:23and you've gathered a bunch of good-for-nothing relatives after a while and you're hiding
02:26yourself.
02:27He'll join you in a minute, Minutia.
02:28Tell me, where is your darling dad?
02:30I think maybe he's missing the US already.
02:33Oh no, he'll be there now.
02:34Oh, Ziba.
02:35Don't try to fool me.
02:37Go.
02:38Go bring him here so we can look into it and see what he's done all alone.
02:41You can drink a cup of tea or something.
02:43He'll be there in a minute.
02:44Go, please.
02:49It's good that after years of friendship, I finally saw your relatives.
02:53Are they even worth being seen?
02:55They're not that bad.
02:56They're happy-go-lucky.
02:57They're cool.
02:58Even though they're different from your husband.
03:01By the way, where's Hamid?
03:02Bahadir, why do you ask questions you already know the answers to?
03:05Well, now what?
03:06What are you going to do?
03:08I don't know.
03:10It's a little hard to explain.
03:11I'd been on my own for 30 long years, but now I've opened my eyes to see that somebody
03:15is at the door saying, hello, I'm back.
03:17By the way, what's Hamid's problem with your father?
03:22What happened?
03:23Please don't ask.
03:25I don't want to think about it at all.
03:27I have to see what happens.
03:29Listen, Hamid isn't a narrow-minded, superficial person.
03:32And the cultural differences aren't something that people like you and Hamid can't deal with.
03:36Do you think the problem is because of my relatives' western clothing and Hamid's religious appearance?
03:40Then what?
03:41You're the only one who matters and you're not like them.
03:43I think this party is irrelevant.
03:44You shouldn't have held it.
03:45I've held this party, so my dad, in the last days of...
03:47The last days?
03:50Forget about it, Bahadir.
03:55Ms. Agdaas, where's my father?
03:58Upstairs in your room.
03:59So let's help Bahadir serve the food quickly.
04:01Then they might go sooner.
04:02But what about the cake?
04:03What cake?
04:05It's here.
04:06This cake.
04:07Where did it come from?
04:08Your father bought it for you.
04:21Hi, ma'am.
04:22Hello.
04:23Are you okay, ma'am?
04:25I'm fine, thanks.
04:26Did you see the general?
04:28Who is the general?
04:30Who is the general?
04:32How, general?
04:33Your father?
04:34Oh.
04:35You know, I think you haven't seen the general when he was a general, and you don't know me.
04:44I'm really sorry.
04:46Your servant, Safar.
04:48Safar Khazampor.
04:49You know, I used to work with the general a long time ago.
04:53I was his agent.
04:55I mean, I was his apprentice.
04:57May God have mercy on your mother's soul.
05:00They held a magnificent wedding at the officers' hall in Amirabad next to Farah Park.
05:06If you take a look at the pictures from those days, you'll see me for sure.
05:09I was just a little bit thinner.
05:12Now I've become as fat as a pig.
05:15Oh, come on.
05:18By the way, I'm really good at it if you just want it.
05:24What?
05:28I mean, if you want meat, chicken, fruit, vegetables, whatever you want, all you have to do is call me.
05:35I'm at your service.
05:37Sure.
05:39Goodbye for now.
05:41By the way, tell the general that we've waited 30 years and we don't want to be alone tonight.
05:47I hope he'll come and see us, commoners.
05:50Don't say that, please.
05:52This is not good.
05:53No.
05:54It'll create trouble for us.
05:55I disagree.
05:55May God have mercy on heart and all his soul.
05:57It will create trouble for us.
05:57He's right.
05:58Listen to him.
05:59This is wrong.
06:01No, no, no, no.
06:02No, no, no.
06:03That's not it at all.
06:06Oh, come on.
06:07Those days have passed.
06:08Nothing will change with pictures and things like that.
06:11Talking about it is also fun.
06:25Who told you to remove my mother's picture?
06:31Do me a favor and put my mother's picture in its own place.
06:34Sure.
06:34We'll put it back after the party.
06:36Miss Agdas?
06:51Miss Agdas?
06:52Yes, ma'am?
06:53Bring a broom and pick up this glass, please.
06:55Sure, ma'am.
06:56You can't keep a picture on the wall by force.
06:58The picture has to remain on the wall on its own.
07:00Oh, Zeba.
07:01We were just kidding and having a good time.
07:03I know, Minutia, sir.
07:10You know, who would ever think that a day would come when His Majesty's picture would be taken down from the wall in the General's house?
07:17In this country, the Shah himself was brought down from the throne.
07:20The wall in the General's house is nothing.
07:23Oh, you're right.
07:24Ah...
07:25Ah-ha.
07:28Huh?
07:30Hmm.
07:39Ah-ha.
07:40Ah-ha.
07:41Ah-ha.
07:42Ah-ha.
07:46Hm.
07:47In the past 30 years, these pictures were the only things that would remind me I had a father.
08:01You know, I never forgot that I have a daughter.
08:06What's the use when someone on the other side of the world knows that he has a daughter,
08:09and at the end of each month goes to the post office to send a few pennies so she wouldn't die of hunger?
08:13Do you think I would stay here if I didn't have to?
08:18We talked about these things on the first night.
08:22They get about me, but what about my poor mother who raised me with all the hardship?
08:29Not tonight.
08:33Let everything be good tonight, even if it's fake.
08:40Have you bought a birthday cake?
08:43Every father has some wishes.
08:47I've gone through a lot of problems all these years, so I wouldn't have to look at these people in the eye.
08:52But you've come back and...
08:55They owe me whatever they have.
09:00And now they're here because they think that the baggage I've brought from the US is full of money.
09:08Is it or isn't it?
09:10Even thousands more of these bags won't make up for the things I've lost in my life.
09:21I still can't forgive you.
09:24I can't say nice words.
09:26I don't want to lay into you.
09:28Even though it's useless to do it.
09:30Will your husband come here?
09:44Hamed has got something to do.
09:46Has he got something to do, or does he want to stay away?
09:49The spark in his eyes is different from the night he and his mother were here.
09:54Have you come back after 30 years to act like a father?
09:57Do you want me to get a divorce tomorrow and get married to one of the servants of His Majesty instead?
10:03You're angry.
10:05You have the right to be.
10:06But dance to my tune just this one night.
10:09You don't play the tune well, and I can't dance well.
10:13Get up, let's go finish this stupid circus.
10:15We have to go to the hospital tomorrow.
10:17Because of the injections, my body's full of holes like an addict's body.
10:22Is there any other solution?
10:24The only solution is death.
10:25And only God decides when we should die.
10:27I'm sorry, I already feel bitter tonight, and I can't talk about nice things.
10:32You're not a common girl.
10:36Your mother wasn't either.
10:38She was decent.
10:40I was bad.
10:40We have to sit down and talk it out.
10:43Why not now?
10:44First, let's see these people off.
10:46Believe me, I don't have the energy, and I'm not in the mood to see them.
10:50It's your birthday tonight.
10:51My birthday isn't tonight.
10:53My birthday's in the summer.
10:54You weren't here.
10:55So you don't know.
10:57A birth certificate's just paper.
11:02That doesn't make it true.
11:06It's tonight, believe me.
11:14Now tell me, you're turning 30.
11:18Five.
11:19A perfect lady.
11:22A spinster that I don't know what would happen if Hamed wouldn't get married to me.
11:27My child should have started school by now.
11:31But I'm still a newlywed.
11:32I wish I could hear you say, with the permission, of the elders, yes.
11:46With this situation, I don't think it was a good idea.
11:51Situation?
11:51Let me see.
11:54Maybe your husband is upset because your father was an officer in the Shah's army.
12:02I thought these things were all over.
12:06Who would have any problems with an army officer of the Shah?
12:09Then what?
12:12Forget about it, Dad.
12:18Let me see.
12:21What's eating you on the inside?
12:23We'll talk about it.
12:29I'm sorry.
12:30I wanted you to have a very good time tonight.
12:33Let's go and join them.
12:37Are you coming?
12:38Everybody is asking about you and the food is getting cold.
12:41Get up.
12:42Get up.
12:43Let's go.
12:43You can go.
12:46He'll be there now.
12:48Come quickly.
13:05Ziba.
13:06I know what's going on in that head of yours.
13:10But you won't be able to calm down before you forgive him.
13:13You don't know anything.
13:14Listen.
13:15I'm your friend.
13:17I've spent many days and nights with you.
13:19I know that you're going through your memories since your childhood.
13:22You had a father who abandoned you, and you're used to this kind of life.
13:27I know you've lived your life without a mother and a father.
13:31And you think that your father has come back to mess everything up.
13:34Stop it.
13:36Baha.
13:37That's not even 1% of the things that are eating me on the inside.
13:41I'm used to seeing my life being messed up by other people.
13:57I'll just bring the soup bowl here.
14:00I'll bring it now.
14:06It's good to see you.
14:15Thanks for coming.
14:16It's good to see you.
14:31Sit down.
14:31Sit down, please.
14:33Hello.
14:34Hello.
14:35Thank you for coming.
14:38Hello.
14:40Hi.
14:40Hello.
14:40Please sit.
14:41May God bless you and keep you.
14:43Thank you very much.
14:44God bless you with joy, peace, happiness.
14:45Please sit.
14:46Sit down.
14:46Please sit down.
14:47Everybody sit down, please.
14:49Please.
14:49Thank you for coming.
14:50It's really good you're here.
