Every time I remember her, I start crying.

She was such a good woman.

Bring a glass of water for Mr. Asgari.

It's good for his throat.

Sure.

Asgari jan! She loved this song.

Please!

Sing for her soul to be happy.

No one's stranger here.

Please sing!

My sound's stuck in my throat like a cow!

Please!

I can give you the tape of the song.

You can get in. yes?

What was that pill?

Mr.Shahidi? Doctor's waiting.

Please go in.

I can't give you an appointment...

Sign here.

Mr Shahidi! Your bag.

You're welcome. Somebody's on the line.

Goodbye.

Please have a seat. Hello?

Yes, one moment please. I'll call you.

How many times do you call?!

Have you shown this to your doctor?

No. I wanted you to see it first.

Who's your doctor?

Doctor Washi.

I don't know him.

Is he famous?

Everybody's famous nowadays.

Your own doctor should say about this.

Yeah I know.

I wanted you to see it

because these doctors...

They talk paradoxically, they stall...

Yeah I know.

I tell him these pills don't

have any effect...

What pills?

He says inject corticosteroid...

and go to the Acupuncture...

...Let's see which one works.

I ask him it has no diagnose value for you?

isn't it important for you if

corticosteroid works or not?

Oh what's it to you?

You want your pain to be gone, no?

So it must turn into a non-curable pain?

Don't worry now.

Let me see it on Radiography. It's dark.

Hello Mr. Doctor. When I eat these pills...

Where do you go gentleman?

Please stay outside. I'll call you.

Excuse me.

Please sit, I'll take a look.

You know what this guy says?

He says when I eat these pills,

seems like my soul leaves my body.

And he's right.

That's fine with me.

I'll write for you if you like.

Amin, do I have cancer?

Look Khosrow,

Some examinations and radiographs

give no definitive answers

Amin?

Tell me if I have cancer.

Do I have cancer?

Yes.

You have cancer.

How long would it take?

There is no definitive answer.

Shahidi, come on over!

What were you babbling about in the class?

She longed to go to his mothers' arms.

His head on her clothes

Instead of schoolworks

...my head on her clothes

instead of schoolworks

just study the design of my mothers' clothes.

Or the details of doors and windows.

Particularly windows.

Khosrow?

Khosrow?

Where are you, wicked boy?

Today we are going to play

a little song from maestro Saba for you...

"Patisserie"

All of a sudden I found out that

I think about nothing.

I have no anxiety.

Nothing bothers me.

Even the bad shapes of the buildings.

Or a trivial part I had in Lieli's life.

Nothing could hurt me.

I was depressed all my life.

I didn't think the only cure

for my depression would be my death.

I wish I had known before.

Mr. Asgari, your coat... Mr. Asgari!

What was this song's title?

They have no particular title my girl.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Won't you be late?

Let's go.

You walk too fast.

Do you like us to go to Tafresh?

Yes I do.

I don't know why I don't have singing talent?

They say my grandfather was a good singer.

I've told you before, remember?

No.

Hello?

I'm coming.

No no I'm almost there.

Five minutes.

Are you late?

Yes.

You smoked again in the car?

No... I have not smoked!

Is it here?

This place?

Thank you so much. Good night.

For which role did you introduce Amin?

The Ghost.

The Ghost?

My husband's ghost.

Do you want me to play the part?...

Why?

Are you interested?

Just like that.

Do you want me to pick you up after work?

No I'll come by myself.

Leili?

Lieutenant! What are you doing up there?

I'm rehearsing!

Come down and rehearse your dialogues!

You don't know them.

Come down we'll rehearse together.

Hello lieutenant!

My dear! You are lieutenant. I'm the judge.

Tea! Thank you.

Can I have a handkerchief?

Thanks.

Didn't you go home? Hi.

Hi.

I don't bother you if I sit here?

No. please.

Why did you come?

Just like that.

I thought we go back together.

I'll be here till morning. You'll be tired.

No problem.

I worried about you.

Don't do it. It's frightening.

What happened to you all of a sudden?

I don't know.

You don't want to tell me, no?

I don't know.

What a shame. All my make-up is ruined.

Madam Sorush?

Madam Sorush?

Guys can you call madam Sorush?

What does this song remind you of?

There was a boy in Tafresh who sang this.

You wanted me?

Look madam Sorush...

This hat you prepared for me...

this black hat... where is it now?

The one in your hand.

It's a summer hat.

Is this it?

Yes I have the number of it.

Look at this. This one?

It is.

well this is terrible.

This is it in test photos too.

Well I can't wear it. Call madam Karimi.

I had some hats with me in a carton.

They're right here.

Do you want me to help you?

No thank you.

What's wrong with these hats?

They are fine.

So that's why you dream of Granny's house?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Do you miss him?

He is dead.

He died when he was 17 years old.

He died for me.

Go to Amin in the yard.

I think she was crying for herself.

She was sorry for herself.

For her youth which was wasted with me.

Or for a kid she never wanted to have with me

I don't know.

But I was humiliated badly.

A humiliation form the world of the dead.

From the big eyes of a Tafresh boy

who sang that song with good sound.

Madam, we are waiting for you.

Yes. Can you please bring him to Mr. Seyedi?

Is this good with my scarf out?

Yes it is part of the design.

That I should wear a fruit basket?

We took photos. We arranged all of these.

They are so terrible!

Of course not my dear.

Hello? No, it's impossible on Tuesday.

One minute... I'll find him.

Hello Lieutenant!

Hello. Are you the lieutenant?

Yes, I was rehearsing. Who are you?

Me? I'm nobody.

Ma'am, please give me the scenario.

Mr. Seyedi is downstairs.

Right here?

Yes, go right down the stairs.

It seems like they don't know

about my death...

Give it to me.

Listen, have you expressed your sorrow ever?

Express your condolence!

My condolences!

Like in the memorial ceremony

My condolences... my...

Just like you say it in normal situation...

What line should I say?

My condolences?

My deepest sympathies?

Just the normal thing you say.

My condolences.

No not that! Look at me.

Oh my god... oh... oh...

Then you open your arms. Oh my god... oh...!

Doctor, do you have mother?

Yes.

Is she alive?

Think, after so many years,

you've heard on the phone that she is dead.

Let me see what you would do.

Well Leila, you...

Don't forget your gesture of begging, ok?

Silence please. We are shooting.

Please turn off your phones.

I'm ready. Are you ready too?

Sound recorder is in the frame...

The extra guys, go out please.

The Smoke... Let it pass.

Is the radiography enough?

Smoke... smoke! Come on.

Guys, act according to the last rehearsal.

What are you doing? Oh...

you make noise more than everyone.

Sorry

Let's shoot!

Yes...

yes...

Sound?

On.

Camera?

On.
