00:01It's not big, but it's better than nothing. Isn't it?
00:06I'm a good dressmaker. I write poems too, but I can make dresses better.
00:11Aren't you coming in?
00:14I live alone.
00:20Do you have a place to stay?
00:27Do you have a family?
00:30An amazing one.
00:31You talk in such a cute way.
00:33I can cry in a cuter way too.
00:36Are you staying?
00:40If I find out why you're helping me, I might.
00:49No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
00:57Um, you said you write poems, right?
01:01Whenever Sadi urges you to something, it's time to remember the story of the exhortation of the wealthy.
01:06I didn't write that, Sadi did.
01:12While you're reading that, I'll make us something to eat.
01:26Hello, Uncle.
01:29Uncle?
01:31It's Jamal, my uncle.
01:37He's Nafar's guy.
01:38And you are going to marry him today.
01:42Who are you, girl?
01:43I swear to God, I was going to tell you. I was going to sit at my sewing machine and
01:47tell you everything.
01:49Uncle.
01:53Why did you bring her here?
01:55Why did you bring her here?
01:56What was she doing here?
01:58Why do you care about your dad?
02:00Let go of that, Uncle.
02:04Don't follow me.
02:15Hang on, Atané.
02:17You scare me.
02:18Because Ismail is my father.
02:20You're the daughter he's been looking for all your life.
02:22My uncle won't let me introduce my son.
02:23Whether he does or doesn't, it's not my business.
02:25I love him.
02:26I don't care.
02:27Do you love him or are you after his money?
02:29Wasn't I the one who wanted to get hit by a truck?
02:31Because he rejected you?
02:32Because he rejected you?
02:32Because I told him I couldn't fall in love with him.
02:35But I love him.
02:36He's being cruel to you.
02:37He's my father.
02:38I love him.
02:39You're stupid.
02:39Is your son stupid too?
02:46You were cruel to him too, right?
02:49You left him when he was a baby.
02:51Just like my dad left me.
02:54Your son forgave you and I've forgiven my father.
02:58My mother used to say children don't have the right to judge their parents.
03:05Your son forgave you and you still wanted to kill yourself?
03:10Because his father doesn't want me to be with him.
03:26What does your son want?
03:29My son's all grown up and he's wise enough to know that he doesn't need a mother.
03:36Why would he anyway?
03:43Why don't you introduce yourself to your father?
03:47What if I do and he rejects me?
03:50My uncle says he'll reject me.
03:54I know your father very well.
03:57Just like he's been trying so hard to make me love him.
04:01He's been trying so hard to find you.
04:03Go to him.
04:06Do you know how long I've been following you?
04:09What for?
04:10Because my father's been following you.
04:13I don't want him to think I'm stopping him from marrying you.
04:19Are you going to gift wrap me and give me to your father and ask him not to return me?
04:26I just want to have a father.
04:31If I married your father, I'd be cast out by my father.
04:36If you hadn't pulled me away from that truck, I would have been cast out by God.
04:47Do you have a place to stay?
04:49You've already asked me that.
04:52I'll tell my uncle to leave.
04:54And we'll talk.
04:57About what?
04:58About you, about me, my father, your son and Khalil.
05:04The End
05:05The End
05:08The End
05:20ORCHESTRA PLAYS
06:00You keep forgetting your ring.
06:10How's it going, Karim?
06:13I got you some fresh bread.
06:16How'd you know I was here?
06:21It's Thursday. How could you not be in Mashhad?
06:25You've been giving out charity food every Thursday for over 20 years.
06:32Yes, but...
06:34But it's not happening today.
06:38Without a restaurant, we don't have food to give out.
06:44Let's...
06:57Pilgrims won't go hungry.
07:00You're the only one who'll go hungry because of them.
07:12You're throwing what I did in my face.
07:14If you don't do something about it, then yeah, I will.
07:18Well...
07:19Karim, what happened that I trusted you in the whole wide world
07:26and told you about Atana and my secret?
07:32It wasn't winter.
07:33I know that. I'm just saying...
07:34You'll either have to listen to all of it or none of it.
07:40All right.
07:42I was the last customer of the kiosk you used to work in.
07:47When you put the tray of lamb liver kebabs with red peppers in front of me, I said,
07:52My friend, why are you so grumpy?
07:55You said I'm not your friend. I'm Khalil.
07:58I said you were a friend because the shopkeeper's a friend of God.
08:02So stop frowning so much and say enjoy your meal to your customer.
08:07You said the sneer and frown on your face were glued onto it.
08:13I said love would help them go away.
08:18You said, ha, yeah, but she left me.
08:20I said just like mine did, but my wife loved me.
08:26At that point, I made a vow to Imam Reza
08:31to live in a house near his shrine,
08:33hoping my wife would get well, but she didn't.
08:36I didn't have the heart to live someplace far from Imam Reza.
08:40But I sought shelter in Imam Reza because of my ex-wife.
08:46Your heart was broken.
08:49I asked you how many pieces of lamb liver you put on each skewer.
08:52You said four.
08:55I said make that five, but charge me for four pieces.
08:58You asked me what the fifth piece was for.
09:01I said it was to pray that your wife would come back to you.
09:08I'm going to ask for God's help tonight, Karim.
09:13May I ask for two.
09:15All right.
09:42Oh, the world's such a cruel place.
09:49I'm back to square one again.
09:53Your first and last square in life lead to Ashkahn.
10:02Ashkahn has his own life now.
10:05You know, they made me sell my restaurant for her.
10:08Someone else is running it now.
10:12The joy of serving food to pogroms is gone.
10:20I don't have the energy and will to open the kiosk.
10:23And your vow to God?
10:28You promised you'd make it happen for me.
10:30Yeah, right.
10:49Honourable pilgrims of Imam Reza, our dear guests, come over and over.
10:54Please, we're at your service.
10:57It's charity food.
10:59Fresh lamb liver.
11:00It's nutritious.
11:02We'll be at your service every Thursday.
11:05Come on over.
11:05We're at your service.
11:08Hello.
11:10Hi, how's it going?
11:11I'll be right with you.
11:13Honourable pilgrims of Imam Reza.
11:14Come on over, please.
11:16We're at your service.
11:17It's charity food.
11:19It's nutritious.
11:20We'll be at your service every Thursday.
11:22It's fresh lamb liver.
11:24It's nutritious.
11:25It's fresh lamb liver.
11:26Come on by.
11:28Come on over.
11:30It's that blessings of Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad.
11:40Honourable pilgrims of Imam Reza, we're at your service.
11:43We'll be at your service every Thursday.
11:45Come on over.
11:46We're at your service.
11:47Come on over, please.
11:48Come on over.
11:49Khalil's the best lamb liver kebab maker in town.
11:52The kebabs he makes will make you lick your fingers.
11:54Come on over.
11:55Come over.
11:56We're at your service.
11:57Why are you so quiet?
11:59Send blessings on Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad.
12:07What if he breaks his promise and sells meek kebabs too?
12:10He said he'd only sell lamb liver, heart and kidney.
12:12Khalil's never broken a promise in his life.
12:14I'm just saying, that's all.
12:17I'll go grill some charity lamb liver.
12:18Come on with me.
12:23Yahweh.
12:25Like me, Allah's never broken a promise.
12:28God is cool.
12:28Honourable pilgrims of Imam Reza, come on over.
12:31Please.
12:32We're at your service.
12:34We're at your service.
12:34Charity food every Thursday.
12:36Have food and send blessings!
12:37Thanks.
12:45Honorable pilgrims, come on over.
13:08Honorable pilgrims, come on over.
13:36Honorable pilgrims, come on over.
13:36And this is your share.
13:40Was it difficult?
13:42What?
13:44To serve lamb instead of meat.
13:46Yeah.
13:48It was hard.
13:50And I'll carry on being hard.
13:55I'm happy I did what I did to make Ashkan happy.
14:00That restaurant wasn't just a place I made money in.
14:05That restaurant was all about Khalil.
14:09Nobody knows Khalil Dashti.
14:13Everybody knows Khalil.
14:15The kebab maker.
14:17But the pilgrims were content.
14:19Thank God.
14:23So why are you going to tell me what you asked God?
14:26For my ex-wife to be found.
14:29She'll come around.
14:30Just like I told you she would back then.
14:31That year, in winter, in my kiosk, your prayer was answered.
14:35But she never came back to me.
14:42Later on, I prayed for her to disappear.
14:47When it comes to Ashkan's mother, I'm blind.
14:53I'm deaf.
14:56My heart is like stone.
15:00I don't care about her coming to her senses or not.
15:05I just want to find her because...
15:08Ashkan asked me to do that.
15:18Hello?
