The Song of Sparrows Page #5

Synopsis: When an ostrich-rancher focuses on replacing his daughter's hearing aid, which breaks right before crucial exams, everything changes for a struggling rural family in Iran. Karim motorbikes into a world alien to him - incredibly hectic Tehran, where sudden opportunities for independence, thrill and challenge him. But his honor and honesty, plus traditional authority over his inventive clan, are tested, as he stumbles among vast cultural and economic gaps between his village nestled in the desert, and a throbbing international metropolis.

You don't know how to draw!

You're going to mess it up!

I was here first!

What's all the fuss?

He won't let me draw.

Okay, hold on.

The lower half is yours.

The upper half is for Haniyeh.

You can't come higher

than the upper half.

Be careful with my leg.

It hurts.

Who is it?

It's me, Ramezan!

Hello. When did you arrive?

Last night.

I'm sorry, Ramezan.

I can't open the door.

The children are in the neighborhood.

Ask them to open the door.

I want to see you.

I missed you so much.

I won't bother you.

I heard you broke your leg.

I came to see how you're doing.

I have good news for you.

What's the good news?

The ostrich that ran away

came back this morning.

We're all so happy.

I have to go now, Karim.

I brought you a present

from Mashhad.

I'll put it on the wall.

God willing, I'll see you soon.

Good-bye.
