- Are you ready?
- Wait! Wait! Yeah!

- So stay focused.
- Stay focused. Got it!

- I'm holding you...
- No, Yes, hold me!

- Go ahead. Use both breaks.
- I will.

- Don't let go...
- Go! It's easy.

- That's it!
- Oh! Babak!

You're doing it!
Just go.

I can do this.
Stay focused.

Roya?

Roya!

What happened to you?!

You scared me!
Get up.

- Are you alright?
- Yeah.

I'm gathering everyone
in the lobby for a group photo.

Would've been nice
to have him here on my last day.

Yeah.

Don't forget, you have to
water these twice a week.

Yes, ma'am.
What else?

- Did you call Arash's mom?
- Yeah.

Nothing?

Damn.

- I will miss you so much.
- Me too.

Alright everyone, let's take the photo.

Promise me that one of you will
Photoshop Arash into this picture!

How about right here?!

Are you ready?
1... 2... 3.

I'm tired of us arguing about it.

I figured I've already agreed to leave,

no point in saying that
my heart was never in it.

He's afraid of you doing something
thickheaded right before the trip.

Funny you should say that, sometimes
I feel like calling off the whole thing!

- Really?!
- Of course not!

We're packing everything up,
aren't we?!

I know you're only half-joking!
Babak knows who he's dealing with!

He freaked out when I lost my passport!

He almost had a heart attack!

"How are you?

What is your name?

What is your name?

What is your job?"

Miss?

Are you alright?

Miss?

You feel better?

Drink some of this.

Miss.

Do you hear my voice?

Do you hear my voice?

Lift your finger.

Once more.

What's wrong with this?
I don't know.

- I'm sorry ma'am, can you try it?
- Me?

Yes, you.

It's working now. Ms. Roya Pakrou,
born in 1984 in Tehran.

Yes. Correct.

Can you try it again?

It says she's not registered
in the system. Strange.

- Karimi.
- Yes, sir?

Check the Missing Persons list
from the last few days.

Yes, sir.

Ma'am, do you live in Tehran
or did you come here from another city?

Do you have a father or a mother
or a sibling or a relative out here?

Ma'am, we'll take her picture
and write up a report.

If someone comes looking for her
they'll find her.

Your mother is beautiful.
Where's this at?

This is our kindergarten.
And this is my mom, Hanieh.

Do you miss your mom?

She'll come back soon.
Don't worry sweetie.

Amirali, don't bother the lady.

- You have a wonderful son.
- Thank you.

Don't worry,
your wife will be found soon.

Thanks.

Listen, I have to go.
You stay right here.

Your family will come and get you.

Don't worry, okay?

Go downstairs. Go!

Shut up!

Let go of me!

Come.

I don't know why I thought
we knew each other's names!

I'm Roya.

We had a coworker at our charity who
could never remember anyone's names.

So she would call everyone Ziba!

"Ziba, did you go over the accounts?"

"Ziba,
where should I send the package?"

"Ziba, have you seen Ziba? If you
do, tell her Ziba wants to see her!"

So for now, we'll call you Ziba!
How's that?

Write it down.

Write down whatever you remember.

A name.
An address. Anything.

Forget it.

Look over here.

I will let the whole world
know that you're here.

Are you tired?

Would you like to get some rest?

So you mean all of us make up
only 5% of the universe?

Even a fraction of 5%
is too much for you!

Shut up!

Arash, can we see the
dark matter with this?

No way, this one's a joke!

With this you can only see the moon,
Venus...

...and some of the hot chicks
in the neighborhood!

But let me set it up for you
to see the moon and be amazed!

Once you see how bright and shiny it is...

Mystifying.

You forget that it's
reflecting the sun's light.

It's as though they've
poured phosphorus in it!

Roya.

Roya, sweetie.

- Why are you sleeping here?
- Hello.

What time is it?

It's early morning.
Why are you sleeping here?

I was reading a book and I fell asleep.

- Are you alright?
- I'm good.

Did you have a good flight?

Go sleep in your bed.
I have to take a shower and go to work.

- Babak!
- Yeah?

- Don't go in that room.
- Why not?

We have a guest.

- Is it Leili?
- No.

I'll tell you about it.
It's a long story.

You're up already?

Hello.

I'm Babak.
Roya's husband.

I asked everyone to post her picture
online. Something will come of it today.

But we don't even know her. Just
feed her something and have her leave.

- But Babak, where would she go?
- I don't know, Roya.

We're about to leave Iran
and I have a lot on my mind.

We can't have a guest over.

If I were here last night,
I wouldn't let you bring her in.

She's a stranger.

She will leave today.
I swear I felt sorry for her last night.

Poor thing was just standing
in the rain and shivering.

I'm also worried.

What if she's a runaway and her family
comes here and makes a scene?

I'll tell Leili to find her a place
and we'll send her there. Okay?

As long as it doesn't end up
like that other time.

I tried to help someone once-

Once?!
Meaning this is the second time?

Fine, I'll just send her away.

Don't be like that.
Look at me.

Fine. We'll wait.
If something comes of it, great.

If not, you have to take her
to the police station or wherever.

Why don't you tell me
what your daughter looks like?

No ma'am, she's not fat at all.

And no, she's not dark-skinned either.

Ma'am, didn't you see the photo?

Sure, no problem.

But the photo you sent
looks nothing like her.

Yes. Thanks.

How is it?

It's a nice instrument.

The damper has some issues,
but overall it has a nice touch.

- How long have you had it?
- I think for about 15 years.

170 million tomans is too much,
I can only do 130.

130 is too low!

I can maybe go as high as 135.
Think about it and let me know.

She's at most twenty-something.

Ma'am,
why should I give you an address?

Yes. Sure.

Send me a photo of your sister.

Please do.

They're driving me insane!

They just keep calling to ask if
their missing relative is here with me?!

I don't know
what to do with all these books.

I've promised Babak
to take only a tenth of them.

I have to say goodbye to this too.

Hello?

Yes. I posted the photo.

What?

Your daughter?

Sareh?

To be honest I don't
know what her name is.

No, I mean
she doesn't remember it either.

Maybe you can send me a picture?

What do you mean you only
have one picture of your daughter?

At the mosque?

Ma'am,
can you calm down for a second?

Don't cry so I can...

Hello?

She won't answer.

Oh, a photo!

Look, is this you?

She says "I can't answer your call.

Please come
to the Nabi Mosque ASAP."

Does she look familiar to you?

She kind of looks like you.

FUNERAL FOR SAREH TAYEBI

Do you remember anything
about this deceased woman?

Sareh Tayebi.

How can I help you?

- Hello. My condolences.
- Thanks.

A woman called me...
I'll start over.

You see, this lady here is lost.

She doesn't remember
who she is or where she used to live.

We posted a photo of her online,

and a woman contacted me
and sent me a photograph...

...and then she sent me
the address to this mosque.

- I don't understand.
- What's the problem, dad?

- Hello. How can I help you?
- My condolences.

She says this lady is lost
and someone told them to come here.

About thirty minutes ago a woman
contacted me and said she knows her.

She said she's her daughter.

Then the phone cut off
and I couldn't talk to her.

She sent me a photo.
Let me show it to you.

It's been deleted.

I'm sorry ma'am, we don't know her.

But my mother isn't feeling well,
because of my sister's passing.

So whenever she sees someone
my sister's age she thinks it's her.

I don't know where she's seen her photo.

Her name was Sareh.
She was the same age as her.

- If you don't mind we'll go back inside.
- My wife doesn't feel well.

She keeps blaming me for her death.

She says Sareh is alive.
She's not dead.

- Dad.
- She says I made her run away.

I took her to the morgue.
I was standing next to her body.

- But she says that's not my daughter.
- Come take dad back inside.

- She's the one who contacted you.
- Go back inside, dad.

- So what happened?
- Nothing, false alarm.

Roya.

She can't stay here.
It's too much of a burden...

- Shush!
- Don't shush me!

We don't know who she is
or where she comes from.

What if her parents press charges
against us right as we're about to leave?

- Stop it Babak!
- We can take her to the police station.

- Right now?
- Yes, right now!

How're you?

I'm sorry...

Both me and Roya are happy
that you're here.

But the truth is we're in a bind.

We're packing everything up and
we're leaving the country in two weeks.

Plus,
Roya has an eye surgery tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

Yes?

Yeah, yeah.

You get my point?

I hope your parents find you but...

Give me that.
You'll cut yourself.

Here.

Are you alright?

I have to...

What?

What did you say just now?

Ziba?

- What happened?
- She just said something.

Ziba, sweetie, what did you say?

Do you remember anything?

I have to go.

Where do you want to go?

Ziba, where do you have to go to?

Do you have a place in mind?

- Do you remember anything?
- No.

Wear this.
You'll catch cold.

Thank you.

I talked to Babak.

We decided that you can stay
with us for a couple of days.

How did you know
the light fixture was about to fall?

I don't know.

It's as if I knew from the past.

Like in a déjà vu?!

Ziba!

Is there something that you want to say,
but you're afraid to?

No.

Just know that if there was anything
It would stay between us.

Okay?

Let's go back inside.
It's cold.

We have to go to the clinic
in the morning for my surgery.

I'm stressed out.

There's nothing wrong with this.

Roya?

Yes, dear?

If someone forgets her past,
is she still the same person?

Or is she someone else?

It's clear.
The same person.

Why do you ask?

Nevermind.

She's here!

- Are you alright?
- No, it burns!

You had no reason to be afraid.
It was painless.

Should we go?

Take note Leili!

Sammy said Nahid is having
a gathering on her rooftop.

Seriously?
What's the occasion?

She says we can look at the lunar
eclipse with Arash's telescope.

I don't know, let's wait for Babak.

Should I tell her that you had
a surgery and that you can't?

No, I may not be able to see Nahid
before we leave.

Just take your pills and get some sleep.
We'll go if you felt like it tonight.

- I'll tell Nahid we'll let her know.
- Okay.

I had a dream that he had come back.
Everyone was around.

It was a big party.

All you guys were there.
All our relatives.

Then I saw him approaching from afar.

A bunch of people
were in front of him.

Then I lost sight of him.

You know how you know something
is off in your dream,

but you don't know what?

I was telling myself
that everyone seems so happy,

but why am I feeling strange?

Then I saw him slowly emerge
from the crowd.

He walked towards me and said hello.

I looked at him.

His face was blurry at first.

Then I saw him.

I was surprised.

I realized that he wasn't Arash.
He was someone else.

Everyone was silent.
No one was talking.

As if they were expecting me
to go and hug him.

He also wanted to hug me.

But I couldn't move.

I asked him
"Who are you?"

He said;
"Mom, don't you recognize me?"

"I'm Arash. Your son."

But I didn't recognize him.

And then someone in the crowd shouted;

"Nahid!
You should be ashamed of yourself!"

"This is Arash, your son!"

But let me set it up for you
to see the moon and be amazed!

Once you see how bright
and shiny it is...

Mystifying.

You forget that it's
reflecting the sun's light.

It's as though
they've poured phosphorus in it!

Have you been friends
with him for a long time?

- What?
- With Nahid's son. Arash is it?

Yeah.
Me and Arash met in college.

And then me, Leili and him
worked together in a newspaper.

We became the three musketeers!

After the government shut down
our newspaper, we started a charity.

In a couple of days, it'll be two
months since Arash went missing.

We looked for him everywhere,
but he's nowhere to be found.

Poor Nahid.
She has aged ten years in this time.

I was thinking that perhaps
your mother feels the same as Nahid.

Ziba!

Last night when you asked if a person
is the same if they forget their past...

What did you mean exactly?

I meant not remembering
where I was before.

But you didn't say not remembering,
you said forgetting the past.

What's the difference?

I don't know.

Roya,
aren't you going to look at it?

I already am!

It's beautiful and red.

- Do you want to take a look?
- Yes.

Let's go.

You're so boring!

Come here, Ziba.
Let Ziba have a look.

- Oh, you're up?
- Yes.

Are your eyes better?

No, the pain is annoying me.

You have short-sighted eyes?

I think so.
I see things better with this.

Do you like that book?

I've only read the beginning. I noticed
that you were reading it the other day.

I finished reading it recently.

I was actually surprised
to see you pick that particular book!

Why?

Because it's about a girl
who looks for her long-lost brother.

Interesting!

- Does she find him?
- No.

It becomes more
about she herself getting lost.

Do you remember anything new?

No.

I was thinking,
what if you have a husband or a kid?

Or for example what if you were
waiting for an important event?

It's strange, isn't it?

Aren't you at all interested to know
who you were or where you come from?

Of course I am.
But I don't remember anything.

What about from that night?

- You mean right before I saw you?
- Yes.

No, nothing.

I mean I remember standing
in front of the door,

and then you came to me.

And then we went to the police station.

When we were there
I wanted to say something,

but I had forgotten how to speak.

That's all.

Do you have any memories
from the scar on your wrist?

No.

Maybe you didn't like your previous life

and now you rather forget
certain parts of it.

No?

I don't lie.

I seriously don't remember
anything prior to that night.

No, I didn't mean to suggest that you lie.

But I feel like I'm more curious
about your past than you are.

I don't know.
Maybe I'm curious for no reason.

This is yours.

I'm sorry, as you know
we're in a chaotic situation.

Plus, I've had this eye surgery
and I don't feel well.

I thought you should have this
until you land on your feet.

There's this NGO
that helps marginalized women.

Women who have issues
with their families

or for whatever reason
have run away from home.

It houses them, helps them
find a job and improve their lives.

Leili spoke with their
general manager this morning.

We decided to send you there.

It's not a bad place.

We used to send them stuff
from our own charity.

Thanks.

You see, Ziba.

Me and Babak would love
to have you stay with us.

But you know what our life is like.
Soon we have to move out of the house.

I thought it would be better
that you find out now.

- Okay, thanks.
- Sit down.

I didn't mean for you to leave right now.
Have your breakfast.

Sit down.

I told you.
I don't need this anymore.

It's yours now.
In fact, it suits you!

Have your breakfast,
then I'll send you there with a cab.

Okay?

Here. Read this so you know
what happens at the end.

A silver Peugeot is
waiting to take you there.

- Okay.
- Don't worry.

I'll call in on you tomorrow
to see how you're doing.

Oh, I almost forgot.

While you were sleeping the mailman
came and I didn't wake you up.

I told him you were sleeping
and he handed me this envelope.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hello, sir.

I've received this letter informing
me that my passport can't be issued.

- I wanted to know why.
- Let me have a look.

Ma'am, you're barred from leaving
the country because of a debt.

The government has a case against you.

- Against me?!
- Yes.

Why?!

Hello, Babak.

Who are these people?

They were supposed to loan
our charity some money,

but Arash said they changed their mind.

They told you to come to this address?

Yeah, they always meet us at
a different location.

- I'm sorry sir, where's Mr. Sahami?
- Right up the stairs.

- These?
- Yes.

Why aren't you coming?

I swear if you and Arash
have screwed things up again...

My passport wasn't issued

because apparently your agency
has filed a complaint against me.

It has more to do
with your CEO Arash Rahnama.

I don't understand.

After we made the payments
to him he disappeared.

Payments?!

For the loan he received from us.

But sir, that loan was never processed.

It wasn't? Then who did we
pay the 20 billion tomans to?!

I thought you knew.
Your first two payments are past due.

So we had no choice.

I'm sorry that you're barred
from leaving the country.

But I don't understand.
We never got the loan from you!

Perhaps Mr. Rahnama chose not to
tell you and then he just disappeared.

- What do you mean?
- We have our copy of the contract.

Maybe if you sign a statement

stating that Mr. Rahnama
has received this loan from us...

we could come to an agreement
with the judge

and lift the ban on your passport.

Excuse me for a second.

Why isn't Leili answering?

Don't smoke that.
It's bad for your eyes.

My eyes are about to burst from pain.

It feels like two stones
are on top of them.

We'll go in for a checkup tomorrow.

Are you sure Arash
hasn't received this money?

Of course he hasn't!
He would've told me if he did.

They're setting him up.

With that complaint
you're just as involved.

What do you think I should do?

I don't know.
But we can't wait for Arash forever.

God knows what they've done with the
money, they're just pinning it on Arash.

What if Arash really did receive the loan?

He would never do such a thing.
And if he did he would tell me.

It's no joke getting such a loan amount.

You trust him so much
that he could easily swindle you.

Arash gets on your nerves
even when he's missing?!

Who cares about Arash?!

Without your passport our life
and all our plans will be ruined.

What do you want me to do?
I can't betray Arash.

We don't have a contract with them.
He's full of shit.

Then is this Sahami guy
making things up?

He is! He's lying.
He's setting us up.

But Arash always tells the truth!

Hello, Mr. Zand,
I haven't been able to get a hold of you.

Could you please contact me?

We have an emergency with our charity
and I really need to talk to you.

Thanks.

It's all part of your master plan
so we just remain in Iran!

Babak, please don't start this again.
My eyes hurt and I'm frustrated as it is.

Don't start with what Roya?!

From the day we decided to emigrate
have you taken a single step for it?!

I told you to study Danish,

you said "I can't, it's difficult,
I don't have the time!"

You couldn't even
learn how to ride a bike!

What?
Am I lying?

You're not lying.
You're just full of shit!

Can't you see that I'm leaving behind
all that I am and all that I'll ever be...

...to come live with you in
that stupid city of bicycles?!

Can't you see that
I would be a nobody there,

but I've accepted to be a nobody loser
just so I can be with you!

And then you tell me
that I haven't taken any steps?!

You're such an asshole Babak.

You're also a nobody out here.

- What's she doing here?
- I don't know.

Didn't you send her away
in the morning?

I did. She left.

How long did your black-out last for?

- Until I was back in the car.
- For about 3 to 4 minutes.

It's nothing to worry about.

You can go home and come back
tomorrow for a follow-up.

But doctor,
I suddenly couldn't see a thing!

Everything in front of me turned black!

It was as if I had really gone blind.

But Mr. Zand, you're well-aware
that we never signed that contract.

Alright, I'll be waiting for you.
Let me know.

Thanks.

- Are you better?
- Yes.

Roya.

I really didn't want
to bother you again.

But to be honest
I was afraid of going to that NGO.

That's why I came back.

But I will leave as soon as I can.
I promise.

What happened, Babak?

Nothing, they don't have
any private rooms available.

And men can't stay
in their public rooms.

Get one, I can be alone.

Should we go home?

If you weren't so stressed out
your doctor wouldn't even check you in.

What will I do if it happens again
in the middle of the night?

I was going blind!
I couldn't see anything!

I'm scared, Babak.

- You and that doctor don't get me.
- Fine, I'll get a room.

- If you want I can stay with you.
- It's not necessary. I'll call Leili.

Roya, no need to call Leili.

- It wouldn't be too hard for you to stay?
- Not at all.

Then I'll go do the paperwork.

Roya.

Roya!

Let's go.

- Babak.
- Yes, dear?

Person accompanying Ms. Pakrou.

- Yes?
- You left her ID card.

- I'll get it.
- Thanks.

- Babak, that guy was just here.
- Who?

The one we met this morning
for the loan.

Sahami?

- Yes.
- Where?

He was just in the eyeglass store.

- Are you sure you saw him?
- Yeah, it was definitely him.

- What if he's chasing us?
- Why would he do that?

- You're making a mistake.
- It was him!

He's not here.
Plus, your eyes aren't exactly...

Maybe you're hallucinating.

Roya, let's go.

When the light hits it,
it changes course.

95% of the universe is made of that!

So you mean all of us make up
only 5% of the universe?

Even a fraction of 5%
is too much for you!

Shut up!

Arash, can we see
the dark matter with this?

No, this one's a joke...

Mom!
Have your soup.

Mom!

Are you comfortable here?

Have you talked to Zand anymore?

He just left a voice message
saying he's looking into it.

It'll be taken care of, right?

I don't know.

Alright then.
I'll be back in the morning.

Roya, could you please
sign that statement tomorrow

so we get it over with?

I can't, Babak.

Then find 20 billion tomans to pay
back the government. How's that?!

Let's wait to see
what Zand comes up with.

Roya, five years ago
we stayed because of you.

I won't let you ruin our plans this time.

Even at the cost of me going
and leaving you behind.

- Thanks for spending the night here.
- You're welcome.

Call me if you need anything,
I'll be up.

Will do. Don't worry.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Excuse me, sir!
One moment.

It was raining like crazy
and I noticed that she was drenched.

She passed out as soon as she saw me.

Then we took her into the police station
and they couldn't identify her.

Nice of you to help her.

I realized that she has nowhere to go.
No IDs, no nothing.

What could I have done?
I felt sorry for her.

Plus, me and my husband
have travel plans.

Where you going?

- Denmark. Copenhagen.
- That's great!

I also wanted to do
an eye surgery before we left.

But my husband didn't let me.
Good thing I didn't get one.

Ziba?

Roya?
Did you call my name?

Where were you?

In the bathroom.
Did something happen?

- What were you saying just now?
- What?

- I heard you talking to someone.
- I was in the bathroom next door.

- Maybe you had a bad dream.
- I am confident it was your voice.

You were telling someone something.
You were saying that you found me.

That you helped me out.

You said you had plans
to go to Copenhagen?!

The nurse did say that
your medicine is too strong

and that you may get confused!

I think that must be it.

Do you want me to get one
of the nurses?

No.

Maybe it was a dream.

Let's go back to your room.

Let's go.

Get some sleep.
Don't worry about anything.

Everything will work out.
I promise you.

- Are you alright?
- Not bad.

- Can you go get her one of these?
- From where?

The pharmacy downstairs.

You don't have to,
Babak will be here soon.

I'll get it.

Ziba!
Let me give you some money.

It's okay. Mr. Babak gave me
his debit card last night, just in case.

- Where you here last night?
- No, I work the morning shift.

- Why? Is there a problem?
- No. Just asking.

Keep this on your eyes.

- Is she your sister?
- She's a friend.

There were no private rooms
available last night.

- So my husband couldn't stay...
- There weren't?!

We have plenty of rooms available.

But they had told my husband that
they don't have any rooms available.

Must've been a mistake.
Keep that on.

Mom, let her change the bandage.

Don't call me mom.
You're not my daughter.

"Hello, how are you?"

- Babak!
- Keep that on your eyes!

- Are you feeling any better?
- Meh.

- Did you sleep well last night?
- No, I kept having nightmares.

Where's Ziba?

She went downstairs
to buy an eye drop.

You gave her your debit card?

I thought something might happen
when I wasn't around.

Nothing happened.
But I don't trust this girl.

Nothing will happen.
Don't worry about it.

The nurse said they have
plenty of private rooms available.

- What do you mean?
- That half the rooms here are available.

That's strange. They told me
they have no rooms available.

- Your mother called.
- What did she say?

That she has a bad feeling,
so I had to tell her.

Oh no!

She said we'll hit the road in the
morning. They should be here soon.

I told them you had a simple surgery

and that you'll stay in
for a couple of nights.

Roya.
Did you see Sahami again?

You can take off your compressor
and wear your glasses.

Roya,
we have to go to Sahami from here.

- Don't start this again.
- Don't start what again?

I can't let Arash's
mistakes ruin everything.

Plus I'm now sure he's gotten
that money.

How're you so sure?

- I went to Zand this morning.
- And?

- Did he say anything to you?
- No, what happened?

He went there and they showed him
a contract with Arash's signature.

With Arash's signature?!

- Yeah.
- That's impossible.

Babak, they've forged it!

I don't know why you trust Arash
so much.

Let's get it over with and just leave.

Babak!
Arash will come back one day.

What if he hasn't gotten this money...

...as I am sure he hasn't
what would I tell him then?!

That I sold you out
because of a passport?!

He would get a life
sentence for embezzlement!

First of all, he won't come back.

Second of all, he's probably
enjoying the money as we speak.

Babak.
Don't be so naive.

Arash put everything he had
into our charity.

You know that better than anyone.

You think it's all a coincidence?
First he goes missing.

Then the government wants me
to sign a statement

that says he's taken the money and fled.

Next thing we know
there will be headlines

about how the head of this charity...

has embezzled billions
and fled the country.

And my signature would confirm all this.

Why do you pretend to be dumb?

If you cared about our life
as much as you care about Arash,

you wouldn't say any of this.

I'm sick of hearing you talk about Arash.

If I wanted us to stay and Arash
wanted to leave, would you have left?

- Hello.
- Hi.

- How're you?
- Good, thanks.

It was very kind of you to stay up
all night.

Don't mention it.

I got your eye drop.

Hello?

Yeah, you're here?

There's a gate.
Are you at the right place?

I'll come and get you.
Take the elevator up.

- It's on the...
- Third floor.

Third floor.
I'll be by the elevator.

I'll go get your parents.

I can get them.
You just got here.

You should stay with Roya.

But you don't even know them.

I've seen their pictures at the house.
I'll find them.

- Babak, tell her to leave.
- Who?

The girl.

I don't want her to
come back home with us.

All the sudden?
She looked after you all night.

Why are you worried about her?

Worried about who?
What're you saying?

Babak, she was talking to one of
the nurses last night.

So what?
She shouldn't talk?!

No! She was telling the nurse

that she's the one who found me
and brought me here...

and looked after me.

She said she's supposed to go
to Denmark with you!

Roya. Is this like last night?
When you saw Sahami?

Are you hallucinating?

We had enough problems,
we can't have you go nuts!

I'm not lying.
I heard her.

I called her over.
She said what's wrong?

I said who were you talking to?
She said I wasn't talking to anyone.

I said I heard you talking with someone.
She said you must've had a bad dream.

Why would she pretend
to be me in front of the nurse?!

- Maybe you did have a bad dream.
- Babak. I was awake. I heard her voice.

I'm afraid of her now.

Roya!
Our problem isn't Ziba.

We have a flight to catch in a week.

If we postpone it, we won't be able to be
in Denmark within two weeks.

If we don't go, my life and
everything else will be up in the air.

You don't even have a passport yet!

Tell her to leave.

Are you even hearing me?

Choose one Roya.
To come with me or to wait for Arash.

Which is it?

Roya?!
Is choosing me that difficult for you?!

You scared the hell out of me!

- Hello.
- Hello.

Why would you listen
to my daughter?!

- She just didn't want to worry you.
- It's fine, mom!

- Are you alright sweetie?
- I'm fine dad. Nothing to worry about.

Yes, Babak?

Did she say anything else?

No I mean...

Okay, let me know when it's over.

Didn't your doctor say you
always have to be wearing this?

Did you even let him talk?!

Thank you, Babak.
Massoud stood us up.

My pleasure.
Take care of yourself.

You could've stayed with us.

I promise I'll be there in the morning
and I'll stay until you leave.

Take care of your eyes.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Why isn't Leili answering my calls?

- Are you still mad at me?
- No.

The landlord called and said we have
to move out the day after tomorrow.

What?!

We haven't packed yet. We were
supposed to hand in our keys next week.

His new tenants are moving in.

Has he lost his mind?!
What did you tell him?

Nothing.
What could I have said?

What do you mean?
You could've bought some time.

He could lose his tenant.
Plus, our contract ran out last month.

He's right.

What're we going to do?

I am having a moving company come in
tomorrow to pack everything up.

- Tomorrow?!
- Then when, Roya?!

Did you put these here?

Shush!

I heard something.

I think someone's in the house.

Hello, Roya.
How are you?

I didn't know that you were here.

Almost everything is packed away.

Kamrani will be here tomorrow.
Just the suitcases will be left.

I'll get the rest of the clothes
and put them in the suitcase and then...

Do you know what she said?

Roya.
Did you understand her?

I didn't know that you speak Danish.

I don't. Babak does. But I said I
want to cook you a nice dinner!

I don't know what to do
with all these books.

You have to help me out.

Babak?

Babak,
can you come here for a second?

- Why is she here?
- Who?

Who else?!
That girl.

Here sweetie, l washed my hands.
Let me pour your eye drop.

I'll do it myself.

Didn't you say you sent her away?

We needed help for packing up
tomorrow.

You mean there was
no one else around?!

- Why didn't you ask my mother?
- Is it bad that she's helping us?

Babak I don't get this. Why didn't
you tell me that you sent her here?

She's gone through all my things
and she's even wearing my clothes!

- You have a ton of clothes!
- Babak!

- What're you doing?
- Babak, where's that picture frame?

Don't!
I'll do it myself.

If you want to help me, go put the
rest of the clothes in the suitcase.

- Babak, this thing!
- This thing what?!

I said stop!
What're you doing with my life?!

I have to know where everything is.

These go in the suitcase.
Some are packed with the furniture.

It can get confusing.

Don't you have to ask
where everything goes?

Here Ziba, give her the eye drops.

Babak I told you I'll do it myself.

Your doctor said you have
to do it on schedule.

Sit down and use your eye drops.

What're you doing?
Grab her.

Open up.

The other one.

Get her a glass of water
so she takes her painkiller.

Babak, why are you acting like this?

- Why do you do this?
- I do what?

Why did you tell her to come here?

How did she even get in?

Did you give her a key?!

Yes.

- Babak, have you lost your mind?
- I thought she could help us, that's all.

What do you mean?!

- Here sweetie.
- I'll give it to her.

Didn't you say you have a headache?
Take this and then we'll talk.

Take it.

I beg you to leave this place.

I don't know why Babak
told you to come here.

But leave and don't ever come back!

Stop it!

- Enough of your bullshit!
- Babak!

Roya.
What're you saying, sweetie?

Where would I go?

What do you mean where would you go?

I don't know!

Go to that NGO, go to the police,
go wherever the heck you want!

I know you're lying, alright?!

I know you know exactly
who you were and what you were.

I just don't understand
why you're pretending to be me!

You've ruined my life!
Who let you wear these clothes?!

It doesn't make a difference
if I wear these clothes or if you.

Or whether I pack this place up or you.

You're so rude!

Of course it makes a difference!
These are all mine!

Listen, either you leave on your own
or I'll throw you out by force.

- Where's my phone?
- What do you want your phone for?

Where is it?
Do you have it?

Roya!

- You have my phone?
- What do you want to do with it?

I want to call my mom or Leili,
anyone who could come and help me.

Here. Call them.

But they won't answer you.

Oh no. My eyes.

Why doesn't my mom answer?

Roya?

Babak, I'm not feeling well.

- It's nothing.
- The painkiller is working.

What did you have me take?

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

It'll all work out.

Here, call Leili.

Did I wake you up?

You know how to play the piano?

I have to say goodbye to it soon.

Bravo!

Come eat your dinner.

Get out of my house.

Get out of my house!

Why did you shut the door?

- Babak, I'm talking to you!
- Stop it!

- Stop what?!
- She started it again.

What're you saying?
Get the hell out of my house!

I wanted to be kind to you.
It was a huge mistake!

Take your clothes and leave my house!
Give me back my clothes!

Babak, what is this?

- How did you get the charity's stamp?
- Give me that.

Babak!
Where did you get the charity's stamp?!

- Give it to me.
- From Leili?

- I said give it to me.
- What is this?

- Get back in the room!
- What're you doing?

- Get your ass in the room!
- Don't touch me!

- What're you doing?!
- Enough! You're driving me mad!

What're you doing?
Don't lock the door!

Babak what're you doing?
Open the door!

I said open the door!

We've asked our friends
in the government

to lift Ms. Movahed's travel ban.

Very kind of you. We'll go
to the passport office from here.

- Good. Where do you plan on going to?
- Denmark. Copenhagen.

- The city of bicycles!
- Yep!

- Do you know how to ride a bike?
- Yes.

Please sign right over here.

Did you get it?

Congratulations!

Sir, where are you taking that?

What're you doing?

Hey guys,
no one touches any of these boxes.

- Babak?!
- Hi.

Hi.

- What the hell are you doing?
- We're packing. Can't you see?

- What do you mean you're packing?!
- Take that out already.

Babak!

Have you no shame?! Why did
you lock me in that room last night?!

What was that signed statement?
Did you forge it?!

We have to settle things between us
and that girl,

then you get to pack, understand?!

Sir, get out.
Don't do that. Get out.

Then take your own things.
You can't touch my things.

This one isn't yours.
Go right ahead.

Where's my phone?

Babak, where's my phone?

Wrap it up,
be careful when you carry it out.

Check to see if you've received
the first 40.

Babak, check your account.

- Who made arrangements with you?
- I did.

Why?!

Don't take that sir!
It's my piano!

You wanted to sell it.
I sold it for you!

Then why won't you tell me?

- We got a good price.
- I haggled with him, he paid 140 for it.

It was none of your business!

- We wanted to sell it...
- But you had to tell me.

Babak, Kamrani wants you
to come check the furniture list.

Let's go.

- Mr. Saleh, can you pay for the taxi?
- Where you going ma'am?

It's me, Mr. Saleh.
I'm meeting with Ms. Shoayi.

A tad higher, please.
Good.

- Why don't you answer my calls, Leili?
- Hi. When did you call?

- I've called you a thousand times!
- Don't exaggerate! How're you?

Not good.

Can you step out for a second?

What is it Mr. Saleh?

Yeah, she's here to see me.

Pay for it then.

Thank you.

- Was that your cab?
- Yes.

Come help me with this.

What's it for? A birthday?

- Good thing it was your idea!
- What?!

To cheer Arash up.

Leili, stop fooling around.

Why weren't you answering my calls?

Roya, what's gotten into you?

- What's gotten into me?!
- You're having one of those days!

Leili!
Don't act stupid.

Why did you give our letterhead
and stamp to Babak?!

- You told me to!
- I told you to?!

- Yes!
- When?!

Last night.

Last night?!
That's nonsense!

Let me look at you.

Why are your eyes so red?
Have you been crying?

- It's because of the surgery.
- Surgery?!

You had an eye surgery
and you didn't tell me?!

Leili, you're getting on my nerves.

Why the hell did you give Babak
our stamp?!

Why didn't you ask for my permission?!

- Because you told me to give it to him!
- When?!

Last night when I visited you.

Leili, I've been looking
for you for four days!

And you're suggesting
I don't remember seeing you last night?!

I'm confused, Roya.

- Where's Babak right now?
- At home.

He's driving me insane.
It's as though he doesn't even see me.

It's like he decided to leave me behind
because I don't have a passport.

He's packing up all our stuff and he's
going to Copenhagen with that bitch.

They took my phone.
They sold my piano.

She's ruining my whole life.

- Ziba?
- Ziba...

We got into a fight last night.
They locked me up in a room.

Can you believe it?

Last night, you said
she's sleeping in the room

and that she'll leave in the morning.

Last night, I was the one
who was sleeping, not her.

Roya.

What's wrong?

Are you alright?

Come here.

What happened?

Have a seat.

You okay?

We'll go to your place to see
what's going on, okay?

- You have a key?
- I don't have anything on me.

- Hello.
- Hi, Leili.

Roya, wait for a second.

What do you want?

Leili, go upstairs,
we'll be right there.

- Don't go Leili.
- Don't you want me to leave?

I want to talk to you for a second.

Leili, Babak is also upstairs.
Go ahead. We'll be right there.

Go.

Listen, Roya.

I know how you feel.
But it's too late now.

I was also taken aback at first.

But past a certain point you have
no choice but to change.

Do you understand?

Roya, wait a minute!

- Roya, wait a minute!
- What?!

I couldn't believe my own father
and brother not recognizing me...

...and holding a funeral for me.

Or them saying my mom
has gone mad...

...because she wouldn't accept
someone else's body for mine.

I had no choice
but to come to your house.

I had to learn to become Ziba Movahed
instead of Sareh Tayebi.

What now?!

You couldn't even remember your name,

now you remember
your last name as well?

It's ridiculous, I know.
But you even chose my name!

That means you're a part of this game
without knowing it.

Like everyone else.
Like everything.

Just like that light fixture
that I knew would fall.

Roya!

Roya!
You can only resist to a point.

And then you have to make a decision.

To change or to be eliminated.
The game is as simple as that.

Wait.

How're you going to prove
that you're still Roya?

That this is your house?

When everyone forgets who you were.

Or they don't want you
to be who you once were.

Who?

- Who wouldn't want me to?
- What difference does it make?

If you look closer... Everyone.

Even yourself.

Roya...

Forgive me.

Roya.
Did you black out again?

Don't worry sweetheart.

I talked to Babak and we decided
that you can stay tonight as well.

If your family doesn't find you,
we could take you to that NGO. Okay?

You're driving me insane.

Go away.

Hey there!
Happy birthday!

Was this all for show?!

Happy Birthday!

Babak!

Daddy!

Happy Birthday!

Hi dad, how are you?!

Babak,
is this a birthday party for me or her?

Dance!
Clap your hands!

What's going on here?

Why are you all acting this way?

- Not this again.
- Don't say anything.

Are you mocking me?

- Dad, where's mom?
- Who?

Mom! Where's mom?!

- I don't even know who your mother is.
- What?!

- Roya, sweetheart, what's the matter?
- Isn't this my birthday?

Oh, your birthday is also today?
How cute, she just remembered.

No problem.
We'll blow the candles together.

Have you met my father?

- My father - Roya.
- I'm Massoud, Ziba's father.

What?!

Be careful! Be careful!

It's that box I was telling you about.
Some of our stuff is in there...

It's not just stuff!
Dad, it's our picture frames.

I left them for you.

- I also left you all the books.
- Great!

Dad, there's this lovely photo of you,
me and Babak.

I've also left you some pictures
so that you never miss the two us!

Hopefully next year
you'll visit us in Denmark.

Babak!

- What have you done with our photos?!
- Our photos?!

- He called and he's on his way.
- Ziba, come here for a sec.

Babak, I thought you were playing
this game to surprise me.

But if you continue to play
this game you will cross a line.

- You won't let go will you?
- Babak!

Stop saying my name!

You've been in our house for a week.
You've done whatever you wanted to.

What?!

If it wasn't for Ziba
I would've thrown you out by now.

We're about to leave the country,
I won't let you ruin this...

Babak! Babak!

Can't you see that she's not feeling well?

Roya, sit down here.

Is it your eyes?

Can you guys turn this light off?
It hurts her eyes.

Where's her eye drop?

Roya, sweetie.

Roya.

How do you feel, sweetheart?

Roya.

Ziba.

- Close your eyes for a second.
- What is it?

- Close your eyes.
- But...

Close your eyes, you'll see.

- Don't open them.
- Where you...

Don't open them.
Now open them.

Arash!

- When did you get here?!
- Earlier today.

- Does your mom know?
- I haven't told her yet.

- Did you know?!
- Arash, come here.

Roya, this is Arash.

Remember I said me, him
and Leili were the three musketeers?

Hi. I'm Arash.
A friend of theirs.

- Roya is also a friend...
- Cut the crap.

This isn't Arash.
Arash doesn't look like this.

I'm Arash Rahnama.
Have we met before?

Roya has been with us...
I'll tell you about it.

Babak, you know this isn't Arash.
Why won't you say anything?

- Here we go again.
- Roya, you've never seen Arash.

And you have?

We've been friends for ten years.

What're you saying?

I'm losing my mind.

How did you?

This is not Arash!
He's someone else.

Dad!

Dad, where is my mom?

Dad! Where's mom?

Babak, do you really believe
that this is your wife?!

She's only pretending to be me.

She's wearing my clothes.

Wearing my perfume.
She smells like me.

I am here!

I am where I belong.
What's gotten into you all?

She told me herself.

Her family is the one
we saw at the mosque that day.

Tell them what you told me.
Tell them.

What's all this nonsense?

In the first couple of days
you wouldn't say a thing

and now you keep on blabbering.

Oh, Babak.

I told you not to be so thickheaded,
you didn't listen to me.

What are you saying?

I told you!
You didn't listen.

You remember me?

Tell them!
Tell them, who I am.

You won't stop, will you?
Enough already!

- I want to talk to her...
- Talk to who?!

There was an inquiry,

apparently your family has been looking
for you for a couple of days.

Take care of yourself.

Why are you acting this way, ma'am?

They just called me from the station

and said your family
has been looking for you.

You're not a kid.
Why did you run away from home?

Let's go to the station.

- Does she have a history of this?
- Of what?

Of not recognizing you
or remembering who she is.

Or being confused.

No. Hanieh always has had
a perfect memory.

She never forgets anything.

Her memory is famous in our family.

Every time I feel like I may forget
something, I ask her to remind me.

Ma'am, are you sure you don't know
who this man is?

No.

You mean you've never
seen him before?

I saw him once at the police station.

When?

Last weekend.

- What about before then?
- No.

And that one time, did he also see you?

Sir, I'm not blind,
I would recognize my own wife!

Did he see you?

We said a few words.

He said he's looking for his wife.
That his wife was missing.

If I had seen you, me, Amirali,

your mom and sister wouldn't have
lost sleep for the past two weeks.

Here ma'am, this is your ID card.

We've pulled you up
in our new digital system.

We've matched it with your fingerprints.

Legally speaking,
based on these documents,

this gentleman is your husband.

Do you still insist
that you're not Ms. Hanieh Samiyi?

Thank God!

We missed you so much sweetie.

Here mom, drink this.

Hanieh is back with
us and it all worked out.

- God bless.
- I prayed so much.

Okay that's enough.
Drink that.

The officer said
we're very lucky to have found her.

He said every year many people
go missing and no one ever finds them.

She's in a state of shock.

She'll get better
once she gets some rest.

Do you feel better?

Take a shower so you freshen up.

Hanieh, you have no idea
how much I missed your scent.

Listen to me carefully.

Someone was here who looks
just like me. Her name was Hanieh.

Leili, it's Roya!

What do you mean which Roya?!

Leili, you remembered me.

Hello?
Hello, Leili?!

Did I wake you?
I'm sorry.

Why are you sleeping here?

Are you alright?

I got some fresh-baked
bread that you like.

On the way over everyone
was congratulating me.

Did you notice
I planted this in that big vase?

It's beautiful now.

Look at it.

I leave this right here
so you can water the plants later.

Like always.

Amirali, sing that new song
you learned for mommy.

The night is here
and the star is sitting in the sky,

Not just one, ten or a hundred,
but by the thousands,

At night,
the star is the light of the skies,

Just like a flower,
inside the garden of the sky,

A little ways down the way
the beautiful moon.

Here, son.

I talked to Hamid. We'll go visit
him in the hospital in the evening.

His mentor will be there.

Apparently he's one of
the best psychologists in the country.

I'll pick you up later.

Don't worry honey.
You'll get well soon.

I promise you that.

Let's go, son.

Bye.

And she's one of those classy women...

So she came to us
and Hanieh now helps us at the register.

How great!

She was there.

She never pays,
because she owns the place.

She was done,
and she was about to leave,

when Hanieh chased after her!

We chased after them,
Hanieh had cornered that woman!

The woman was terrified!

You should've told me.
I didn't know who she was!

You don't know who anyone is!

- Let's go.
- Go where? I haven't gone yet.

You stay right here,
I'll be right back.

You go right ahead, I'll go to dad.

The fireworks are about to start.

You won't get lost?

They're right over there.
I can see them.

Okay. Go to them.

Excuse me!

I think this watch belongs to your son.

It was shining bright in the dark.

It's as though
they've poured phosphorus in it.
