Golchehreh Page #2

---

- Yes, I can.

- What are you doing here?

- Hello.

Go to your mother, Ra'ana.

Tell the people that I want

to display a movie tonight.

OK.

Are you in love?

Go! Rude!

Where were you my old friend?

[Reciting a poem]

Be quiet!

What's going on? Be quiet.

Otherwise I'll close the cinema.

Shirmorad?

Shirmorad? What are you doing?

Why are you shouting, Shirmorad?

Women can't go inside!

Don't talk nonsense.

Women may go to the end of salon.

Go.

This is what Norouz has said!

What's wrong?

Cinema is illegal for women.

The movie is useful for women.

They can learn how to train

their children and how to cook.

They don't understand!

They do, the movie can teach them

how to understand better.

No! Never!

What is this you are saying!

- I trust you, Ashraf Khan.

- Thank you.

Women may go to the end of salon.

Come on!

Men must sit over there!

Go over there, Raqib!

Come on!

Come here Shirmorad!

- Yes?

- Plug this.

Plug this, Qand Aqa.

I order you and you order him!

- OK!

- You keep saying "OK".

You don't pay attention

to what I say.

Go!

May God forgive me.

Let me watch!

I've brought you raisins, Ra'ana!

- Take it!

- No!

Please!

Molla Qader is here, Ashraf Khan!

He wants to talk to you.

- Molla Qader?

- Yes.

- Is he at the door?

- Yes.

OK, when the woman appears,

put your hand in here.

- After that you may take your hand.

- OK.

- Got it?

- Yes.

Be careful. I'll be right back.

Hello, Saeb! Welcome.

Come in please.

What are you doing in here?

Shame on you!

Are you spreading immorality?

You've let the women too!

We fought with Soviet Union

to avoid this!

Now we ourselves must

spread the immorality?

No! We want to train

people well by cinema.

Cinema doesn't lead to immorality.

A corrupted mind

may cause immorality.

Is this an uncorrupted mind?

It may put you in trouble. End it!

No! The Government

are OK with this.

They want to work on culture.

Government did a wrong thing!

We will work on culture!

I can guess what he said.

Thank you for coming.

I came here to see your cinema.

I'll make a good cinema, just wait!

Are you sure you can

bear its hardship?

I have nothing in my life except cinema!

I have to do it.

What are you doing, Shirmorad?

What's happened?

Can you fix it?

Many parts of it are broken,

I can't fix it.

You can't?

I'll figure it out!

Why are you scared?

You are a soldier!

Tell them to bring us all the things

that we had lent them!

Thank you, goodbye.

- Bring that list, Jahan.

- OK.

It must be here.

What is number 108?

It s the coronation of king Zaher Shah.

Who has borrowed it?

The embassy of Italy

borrowed it 2 years ago.

- Call them.

- OK.

"Where Is the Friend's Home?"

Thank God that we have it!

It's complete.

Number 097, reconstruction

of the tomb of Buddha!

This is the only movie from Bamian

that we have! See where it is.

OK.

- Hello Salar.

- Hello Ashraf Khan.

- Hello.

- Hello.

What's new about apparatus?

No one in here can do it.

The president took

the number 079 four years ago.

Your apparatus is not

the only thing that is broken!

The history of this country

is lost too!

- Call them, they may have it still.

- OK.

We must make everything

alright again.

Don't be sad about the apparatus. I have

a friend in Mashhad who can fix it.

His name is Goudarz. He works

in the Institute for the intellectual

development of children

and young adults.

You must go for him,

I'll write you his address.

Are you sure that he can fix it?

He used to fix everything

in every cinema of Mashhad.

I'll supervise the building

while you are away.

Be careful! Molla Qader

has threatened me!

He said:

"I'll destroy the cinema."

He came here too!

He said:
"Burn all these movies."

He doesn't know

about the power of art.

I said that we are different

with the previous government!

We are Moslem,

they were communist.

You couldn't negotiate with them,

but you surely can do it with us!

They are against art and movie.

It is fundamentally inconsistent

with their beliefs.

I am sure that even government

can't overcome them.

But I am sure that if cinema

shows cultural movies...

they will use it

to spread their beliefs too.

For example we can use

Iranian movies!

Oh my God!

The Chess Players!

This movie is my beloved one.

We'll display it

when Golchehreh is ready.

Let me write the address for you

before it gets late.

Let's go.

Hello Ashraf Khan,

hope you're not tired.

Hello, where is Rokhsareh?

She's there.

Thank you.

Today was a difficult day for you,

wasn't it?

Hello, what has brought you here?

- I am here to see you.

- Welcome.

What a peace!

Yes. It hardly happens.

What's new about the hospital?

- You mean medicines?

- Yes.

Ahmad Masoud has sent some medicines,

but it's not enough.

Ahmad Shah Masoud is so kind.

Yes, I know him.

- Really?

- Yes, I am from Panj Shir.

Doust Mohammad Khan

helped my father and me

that I could go to university.

I have seen

Doust Mohammad Khan.

He came to my father's cinema once.

My husband was one of his soldiers,

but he died.

I am so sorry.

I forgot the reason

that I came here for!

I want to go to Iran tomorrow.

Don't you need anything?

Very good!

Why do you want to go?

I am going to bring someone

to fix the apparatus.

Can you bring some medicines?

OK, sure.

So I'll write what I need.

Were you looking at the moon?

Yes, this was a vow

between Golzar and me.

- Golzar?

- My husband.

Somebody needs you, doctor!

I'm coming.

By your leave.

Hope you're not tired.

- Shirmorad?

- Yes?

Where are you?

You are going to Mashhad.

Pray on my behalf too.

OK.

- Shirmorad?

- Yes.

- Take care of Golchehreh!

- OK.

- Please.

- Rest assured.

- Don't forget about it!

- OK.

Thank you so much.

Don't forget to bring souvenir!

OK.

Hello brother!

Give me your passport.

Hello brother.

Don't you want to get

out of your car?

OK. I'll get out.

Come!

Come!

- Where are you going?

- Iran.

Here you are.

Read it.

What is written in it?

It's from the interior ministry.

- Who has signed it?

- Minister of the Interior.

Go!

Thank you.

I said go!

OK.

You may leave,

but you can't take your car.

Why?

Because Iranians won't let you!

I'll talk to them!

Go!

Car key!

Thank you.

Take care of my car please.

Rest assured.

- Hello brother!

- Hello.

Your passport!

Give me your bag.

Wait here.

- What are these?

- It's the lens of apparatus.

I want to take them

to Mashhad to fix them.

- Why do you need them?

- For cinema!

Is there any cinema

in Afghanistan?

Yes, we'll make one,

God willing.

You don't need to have cinema,

you must stop planting opium.

We'll stop it by using cinema!

You mean by displaying

vulgar Indian movies?

You must provide money

and job for people.

We'll do it, God willing.

Take your stuff and go.

- Sir?

- Yes?

- Are you going to Mashhad?

- Yes, do you have Iranian Rial?

- Yes.

- Get into the car.
