Use a mask!

If you don't have one, wet a handkerchief and cover your face.

Do not touch your face if there are chemicals on your hand.

In the Name of God, The Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

I must tell you two important points.

First, we are near winter examinations.

I hope that by studying well and getting good marks,

you appreciate well those your lives and honour,

although a small appreciation.

Second...

...curse this filthy Saddam as much as you can,

because he is trying to take away...

...the peaceful sleep from our oppressed nation...

...with the help from the world countries.

Someone must tell this lanky yob, Saddam,

if the powers didn't support him, the war would not last for 7.5 years.

We'd have destroyed Baghdad on his head in 7.5 hours.

Now the East, West, America, the USSR,

and any other darn place is helping him to knock us down.

But we stand up to them

and tell them,

Down with America!

Down with USSR!

Down with hypocrites and Saddam!

Hello.

Hello.

- Did you call this boy's parents? - The line's busy.

Up!

The stencil machine is still out of order

We were talking about it.

- What happened? - What?

- You're still sulking? - Not now.

I'll show you!

Tell them to fix it. English can't be written by hand.

We had to write 100 papers yesterday.

- How long you've been sulking? - Two weeks tomorrow.

It'll be worse if you say nothing.

Sulking is like pus! You must squeeze it out!

Abbas! Will you talk less nonsense just today?

You disrupted the exam's order.

Stand here!

Whose photo was it?

By God it isn't mine, sir!

We found it in your bag

I don't know who put it there

Whose is it?

We'll know when his parents come.

Madam--

Madonna! Means Saint Mary.

She's Saint Mary?

Yes, sir!

Ask Mr Chegini. He just said it.

Madonna means Saint Mary. But I don't know who or what she is.

- Are you Christian? - No, sir.

Why do you bring Saint Mary's photo to school?

I didn't know she is Christian.

You thought Saint Mary is a Muslim?

Yes, sir!

Because my sister's name is Maryam and we are both Muslims.

Hold your hands and foot up!

If you say whose it is, I'll let you sit for the exam.

Say who it belongs to and free yourself!

Mr Jozani, Mr Fotoohi, may I ask to forgive him this time for my sake?

Go to your exam!

Yes ?

Hello, Miss Zari.

We're ok.

Yes, Mitra is here too.

Talk to her. Hold on.

Mum? You ok?

Yes, I'm fine. Thank God it was a close call.

I've just arrived. I was tutoring.

No, only the windows to the alley.

Yes?

Hello, Mrs Zoka'ee. I'm Jalali.

Yes?

Hello, Mrs Maleki. I'm Jalali.

Wait a few seconds till the others answer too.

Yes?

Hello, Miss Monir. This is Jalali.

Sorry to bother you at this late hour.

The neighbours weren't hurt in the missile attack?

No, thank God. That's why I'm calling.

When you hear the red alert siren,

run to the basement immediately.

They're going to attack again? God forbid!

It is war, madam!

So, it'll go on!

Of course !

Make sure your torches have battery

your lamps have enough paraffin oil,

have spare batteries and candles too.

Mr Jalali, what's the matter again?

Hello, madam.

You can see.

I called so we think of something, do something.

To do something they don't attack?

We--

What happened to the glazier?

In this situation? Even Minister of War--

- Glazier! - Sure!

Don't sit near the windows.

Yes?

My food is burning. When must we come to the basement?

They sound the red alert siren.

No, Miss Monir.

The white is constant, the red is like this!

Listen!

That's a jackal's howl!

Go higher!

Go higher!

Now come down!

That's it!

The siren you are hearing is the red alert.

It means run to the basement!

- Nobody saw you? - No.

Let's dance.

Right away.

It's the red alert and you're dancing?

Why is it on?

Out!

Hurry, Sa'eed!

My kids 1

Don't be afraid, Mas'ood!

Hurry HP!

Don't be afraid, Mas'ood! We'll go up now.

My kid is afraid!

- That's enough! - Don't distract me!

Pray quietly!

Enough! You recited the whole Quran!

I forgot it! I seek refuge to God--

I hope you see your kids perish!

- It's a game. - Yes, son.

It'll be over now.

My sister and her family came to Tehran

.because here's safe.

They're attacking here too.

You've come to a worse place? Can't you see our life?

Damn Saddam!

May God punish him!

Let's go, Mas'ood.

We'll play again tomorrow.

Why don't you raise your hand? Do it!

Hello

Hello

I think we can't hold examinations now.

Seems everybody agrees with the closing of the school.

We can avoid closing it.

- The Ministry said to do it. - I know.

It says, “if there is necessity“.

I saw the letter. There is so much necessity.

Mr Shirvani, isn't your mother ill?

She fainted when she heard the siren last night.

- His wife has left. - I know.

You know my situation. But never mind me.

We've kept so many brats here. It is a big responsibility.

Aren't these necessities?

I think there is necessity. Poor kids are in danger.

It is a big responsibility, yes.

But their education is a necessity too.

Don't get me wrong.

I don't mean their education isn't important.

Don't say anything for a second, Abbas.

Let me explain.

We can hold the exams crammed without the intervals between them,

and do all exams in a few days.

No need for everybody to stay. I'll stay with a few others.

We all go and you stay here alone?

If there is danger, it is for everybody.

You can stay too!

- Some have necessity! - It isn't a matter of me.

OK, you come--

I don't mean you.

You can give us the English questions.

They've been ready for a week.

Good!

A few others and I will hold the exams.

I'll stay. We can't close down the country.

That's what the enemy wants.

Mr Fotoohi will stay too.

- It won't be like this forever. - God willing!

There is also a shelter up the alley. Students can go there.

Let's wrap it up.

I agree with Mr Zoka'ee. Just one point.

The gentlemen who can stay should hold their own exams,

and then leave. Everybody agrees?

Yes.

Yes, there's nothing to say.

Pay attention!

Considering the current situation,

we will have the few remaining exams...

...in a few days so we can close the school sooner.

I asked the teachers...

and they were kind enough to agree...

...to keep the exams simple and easy.

Quiet!

I promised on your behalf you'd study well like humans!

I was told--

The neighbourhood Basij base has said some indecent students...

stand in front of girls' school after exam and do some nasty things.

I said our students are revolutionary...

...and from the so-called good families!

If only I see one of you there, I know what to do with you!

Down with America!

Down with heathen Saddam!

Sa'eed!

Why are you wearing your new year clothes?

- Take off that suit! - OK!

I'll tell your father! He knows how to take it off!

Hello, Mr Zoka'ee!

I feel better here. I have students.

Hello, father.

Hello, Iraj.

Bring the pomegranates from the boot.

- The key is right there. - Right away.

Everybody's left in this alley.

Only them and us.

- Sa'eed Maleki! - Yes, sir?

Come help.

- You're invited to a wedding? - Sir?

- Yes, sir. - Give a hand.

The grove had good fruits this year.

Give it to Mitra.

You're both the same!

My daughter more pig-headed than you

you more mulish than her!

Throw away those books

about love and marriage.

Is it written in them if a man's wife becomes happy and tearful...

...because the man's brother is alive, the man must ruin his life?

Some people are illiterate, but they live happily.

They go to the shelter hand in hand when they hear the alarm.

But you don't go to the basement because you have nothing to lose?!

Your brother and my daughter passed by one another a few times...

...in the street many years ago. That's all!

Some said they were in love.

Then he went to war...

and they said he was martyred.

Thank God we heard he is alive now and a POW.

- Dad? - Yes, darling?

- Come here. - Right away.

A woman needs attention, affection.

It isn't like your school to treat students with a stick.

You must know how to be happy.

I think you don't know it!

You must learn it.

Where is the matchbox?

You'll go blind!

My daughter's become homeless in this and that town.

Thank God the school let her do the exams here.

On she had to redo them.

Well-done!

See? She studies even in this situation.

But you don't even open your book!

- What grade are you? - Second, secondary school.

Indeed? Will you give your notebook to Samaneh?

I don't think he has a notebook!

Do you?

Yes. What subject?

Her next exam is maths.

Ok

I have it.

I really do!

- Hello. - Hello.

- It is Flat 3 here? - Yes, something wrong?

You know anything about the recent thefts?

What thefts?

There are reports when people leave their houses during attacks,

some people worse than Baathists plunder the houses.

It's strange you haven't heard it.

We had the same problem during the bombings last year.

I remember last year.

- Have they stolen anything from you? - No, nothing.

Something wrong?

- My back hurts. - Why?

The window was smashed, it was cold,

I slept on the armchair, and my back was hurt.

Are you here for that now?

So your neighbours are right. They say you don't go to the basement.

Which neighbour said that?

You go?

- I want to know the relation. - What relation?

How is our going or not going downstairs related to this?

- To what? - The thefts.

- What's the matter? - Hello, sister.

They ask why we don't go to the shelter when there is red alert.

I didn't ask that.

I only asked if you went to the shelter or not.

- Listen to your tone now! - How is my tone?

- What does it mean? - What do you think it means?

It means we are thieves.

- Did I call them thieves? - We are thieves?

We are both teachers.

He is the principal in the school.

Excuse me, sister. Why don't you go to the shelter?

Personal reason.

We must answer the police why we don't go to the shelter?

PARAFFIN OIL SHOP

I must repeat it every day?

Half of you don't know what the room in the corner is for.

It is for you to go there and become a human!

This praying room must be completely full at noon prayer.

Damn!

Damn with America!

Quiet! Shut it!

You don't have faith, what the heck! Don't you have any wish either?

You must pray at noon in the praying room so your prayers will be answered.

We have narrations from the Imams,

“Whoever wants his dreams to come true

must participate in the congregational prayer.“

Lord!

Please tell the heathen Saddam to attack every night,

so I meet the neighbor’s daughter in the shelter!

Amen!

- Sa'eed Maleki! - Yes, sir?

Come

Come on!

Get in.

Bring his schoolbag.

Pray Safa'ee has made a mistake.

About what?

Put it on the heater.

Hey!

Don't run head down like a boar! Run head up like a human!

Hello, everybody.

- What for? - His wife gave birth.

So, the necessities are gone now! What is it?

A pretty daughter!

You have a daughter and nobody will take you to a rest home.

- I bring tea? - Yes.

- It is yours? - Yes.

Is it here?

No, sir.

- You took his notebook? - What notebook?

Why you said he took your notebook?

He did it.

He's been looking at me suspiciously and sneering since morning!

- He must've cooked a bloody trick. - Talk politely.

I just came back from congregational prayer.

Pack your stuff.

I'll deduct 2 marks for slandering.

Hurry UP-

Know what Imam Ja'far Sadeq says about

the one who accuses his Muslim brother?

Enough!

Go! Both of you!

Maleki. Take a cake.

- Sir? - Here.

Thank you.

Mr Chegini! You must sing for having a daughter!

Knock it off!

Here?

- There's no stranger here. - C'mon!

- I'll call on the students. - Thank you, Mr Hosseini.

I'll watch the door.

I sing really?

They'll take me away!

Don't play hard to get!

I don't want to be rude,

but there's a song I sang for my wife at the wedding.

Why is it rude? You sang it for your wife!

It says, “Don't look at me like that!“

It means daughter! My pretty daughter!

I was reading a book in the dark room.

You read a book in front of your wife?

What did you answer?

Hey!

I'll tear your paper!

When will you talk to your wife?

- It is hard. - Harder than this situation?

God bless them!

The whole world has colluded to drop bombs on the people all night,

so you do something!

You should've finished it last night.

When she says you'll go blind, what does it mean?

It means, “Let's make up.“

You should've said,

“Thank you, darling for thinking about my health.

I'm sorry I sulked.“ And it'd be over and done with.

- Why, sir? - Slap Ahmadpoor.

Hard!

She passed the ball to you to score a goal!

Quiet!

Won't you go in?

Throw it !

Like this!

Not hard!

Blow at it first.

You go and I'll bring him.

Hap?

Hap?

Come, son.

Hurry!

What are you waiting for? Go!

Where are you going? Go!

Point your torch at the board.

Darn dice!

Why are you thinking? Move it.

- It'll be a blot. - It won't get worse.

- Geometry notebook. - Thank you!

Here, Samaneh.

- Stop it in this situation! - We're just playing.

Its noise gets on our nerves.

What should we do? Pray like you?

It's death in an instant! Nothing to be afraid of.

It might hit us all in an instant.

You'll go to Paradise, we'll go to Hell! Nothing to be afraid of.

Pure luck just like backgammon.

If is have double 6, I'll be lucky and win the game.

I didn't!

Don't watch our game so you won't commit a sin!

I want double 6! God, give me double 6!

WOW!

Double 6!

You're done!

I don't know. Sit here and ask him.

Sit here, Sa'eed.

This answer is wrong. Want me to tell you the right answer?

Yes.

- You know which one? - What? No!

The area of isosceles triangle.

Do you want me to write it in your notebook?

Yes please

But my handwriting is not as good as yours.

Very kind of you!

- Thank God! - Thank God?!

Because some people died but we are alive?

We don't know to thank God or not! I've mixed up!

About what you said.

Why are you explaining to me? It's got nothing to do with me.

The decision belongs to you two. Just make it clear where she stands.

Dear Samaneh

The rabid dog in the desert is more honorable than you unmanly!

Shameless!

You don't know what honour is!

Know why?

If you had honour,

you wouldn't be pouring missile on innocent people day and night.

Then you threaten you'll attack Tehran with chemicals?

Tehran?

What happened?

- Did you talk? - We couldn't.

Mitra's father had come over last night.

The fool who's laughing at the end of 8th line,

go out before I slap you and kick you out.

You are hiding behind who?

America?

When it is finished with you, it'll leave you alone nice and proper!

You aren't a human!

If you were, you wouldn't drop chemicals by plane.

You'd fight face to face like a man!

Then these goats who are gawking at me would tear up you and your soldiers!

Down with America! Down with Israel!

Down with heathen Saddam!

I understand your hard situation.

I don't want to interfere in your life.

Then, don't!

- I'll have a guilty conscience. - Don't!

- May I say one word? - No!

Talk to her.

If, God willing, he attacks tonight--

Give back my sister's cassette first. Did you bring it?

I've brought the cassettes. Will you record them for me?

Sir! The wall is finished.

Can I go to the exam?

Where is DOWN WITH SADDAM?

I told you to write exactly what the headteacher said.

Who told you to write DOWN WITH USSR?

I thought, NO EASTERN, NO WESTERN!

OK, wipe Off DOWN WITH USSR and write DOWN WITH SADDAM.

Not possible, sir.

Can't fit HEATHEN SADDAM YAZID in USSR's place!

- Write only SADDAM. - Can't be just Saddam.

Heathen Saddam!

No, Yazid must be written too!

But Yazid has heathen in it too, right?

Write heathen, Yazid, accursed, cuckold Saddam!

Paint it white again and write what the headteacher says.

What's the matter with you? You want to go to the toilet?

- Yes, sir. - Go!

I'm fine!

Can't he write Saddam in the yard?

I want it to hit everybody in the eye when they enter!

What about USSR?

The wall beside toilets is good?

That is England!

- Write USSR there. - That is Israel, sir!

Then, France, then hypocrites, then England!

Don't we have a student with a good handwriting in this school...

besides this calf?

These two won't sit maths exam tomorrow if it isn't done.

You won't go home today if you don't finish it!

Let go of it.

It'll drip!

It won't drip, it'll fall!

- May I go to the exam? - Go.

What is that? Give it to me.

It is religious, Shari'ati's lecture. My father's.

I told you not to bring to school what doesn't belong here.

- Didn't I? - You did.

- Wash your hands and go to the exam. - Yes, sir.

Have you talked to them?

No.

Talk to them.

Make sure you do.

People must talk to solve their problems.

Hello!

Sorry, Mitra.

She is my daughter's tutor.

They are Czech. Used only twice.

Thank you, Mitra. I'll pay you the next session.

All right.

I'm sorry.

Can you pay today? I won't be here next week.

- Wait till I get money from them. - OK.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

How much are these?

The helmets? You have a use for them?

100, but you can pay 50.

Thank you.

Take these.

Put it between your brother's fingers.

Press!

Either press his fingers,

or I'll press your fingers so hard...

to crush your fingers and the pen together

Press!

Enough!

They take me for a fool!

When my brother and I were their age.

...we'd hang from the balcony on the 3rd floor.

Then we kicked one another!

Trust in God.

It is really hard to lose a brother.

Hurry!

- Give your bangle. - I won't.

Gold is gold.

Keep her head up.

Whoever drinks water of gold will not be afraid any more.

What a jam! We can't go on!

But they say, “War till victory!“

I didn't tell father to talk to you last night.

I don't even know what he said.

Even told him you don't like to talk about your brother.

He said a very good thing last night.

I thought we are husband and wife and everything is crystal clear.

What in our life is like a husband and wife?

Stop it!

That's enough.

We don't even eat together.

What in our life is like a husband and wife?

- Don't shout. - I didn't.

Suppose I do! It is my house and I'd like to shout!

I'd like to shout at you!

I've been ruined because of you for 3 years because you...

hide whatever I like...

...so I wouldn't remember your brother.

We've been living like that for 3 years.

Who knows who you remember when you watch this?

We can't pass this or that alley because...

...it might remind me of your brother.

I can't listen to the music I like because it might remind me of him.

I can't eat a sandwich because your brother had once stood there.

How do I know you don't remember...

...someone when we are walking in the street?

OK, hide all these. What will you do to yourself?

You are the most palpable thing that can remind me of your brother.

For something that was nothing. Absolutely nothing!

You made up a story, made a mountain out of it,

made a hell, and dropped me into it!

Why should I've done such a thing?

How do I know?

You envy your brother.

Or you don't know what to tell him if he returns...

.because of your guilty conscience.

I don't have an individual identity...

...expect in relation to you or your brother.

I can't become happy someone is alive.

A dear one!

Who is incidentally your brother!

Don't you understand...

it's not clear who will be alive in this city in two minutes?

Don't you?

Don't you understand...

...both of us may not be alive by a missile in two minutes?

What is important to you now?

I am your wife.

There are some places you mustn't enter.

Or two people can't live together for even two days.

Some situations can be very painful. But they have a good point.

You'll know how much you can count on your partner.

That is where it'll be clear where you stand.

You, who write on loo wall, “POPPY!

Without you, lam a stranger here!“

You, the coward who write,

“Down with Zoka'ee, Fotoohi, and Daneshpasand“!

We'll find out who you are by your handwriting.

Jerk!

Don't do it!

Is it a jail wall that you draw lines like this?

We let you go sooner after exams.

It is public property!

The country's money must be spent on painting the loo!

If your dear poppy knows what a slime you are...

...and don't flush after you're done, she won't even spit at you!

You want her to fall for you?

Is it that hard to flush the toilet?

Down with--

The siren you hear is the red alert.

We're wrapping up the exam because of the higgledy-piggledy!

Go!

Yes?

Fine.

No, around Haft-e Tir Sq.

Yes, here shook too.

Not now. The kids are in the shelter.

I must take the exam and then come.

OK, I'll call.

Bye.

Yes?

Hello.

Hold on, Mrs Fotoohi.

Hello?

No darling, it wasn't here.

Around uncle's house, I think.

Call them if you can.

Don't worry for me.

I'll come before the blackout.

Keep me posted. I'll be waiting.

Ok

My dear ones!

Hello, madam.

No, nothing's happened here.

Hello

Hello, mum. Why are you crying?

No, I'm talking to you.

Up and about!

No

Don't cry.

We'll come after the exams.

Pack up and I'll come now.

I'll come soon.

Don’t worry

Good bye.

Yes

Hello, Mrs Chegini.

Hello?

No, I'm fine.

Only a few glasses shook.

How's the kiddy?

What can I do? I'll come after the exam.

All right!

Why are you crying?

Ok

Pack up and I'll come now. Bye.

What are you doing here? Go out!

Put away your notebook.

Turn over the papers.

- Give it back, sir. - Out!

- I wasn't cribbing. - What were you doing?

- I won't do it again. - Out!

Please, sir!

Go out, I said!

- I won't go without it. - Go out!

Get out!

Sir!

Get lost!

Tonight is the final. Abbas and I are going.

Won't you come?

Maybe later.

- Bye. - Good bye.

- You didn't go? - No.

Your wife called.

When?

You were at the exam.

She was worried. I said you were fine.

Dear Miss Samaneh,

I don't know if it is right to write you a letter or not.

And I can't ask anybody, especially the grown-ups,

Excuse me? Can you tie a tie?

I'm not sure.

I'll give it a try.

Excuse me? Can you tie a tie?

- I'll give it a try. - Thank you.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

- What are these? - We don't go to the basement.

They'll protect our heads and faces against rubble and shards.

I wanted to apologise for last night.

Allow me.

I want to hear you well.

Sorry, I didn't hear your last sentence.

I'm sorry!

For last night!

I thought today maybe I must write to you.

I thought a lot about what you said.

You always think. What about taking action?

I came to the conclusion parts of, not all of,

what you said were right.

I thought a lot about what you said.

Your tone was bad, yes, but many of them were right.

For example,

when you said who knows

who'll be alive in...

two minutes in this city.

If I'm going to live for one minute,

I'd like to tell you some things I've never told you.

How much your looks, your voice,

your tone, even when you're shouting at me,

your laughter, the same I don't understand many times...

if you're laughing at me or you are really happy,

the importance you give to your job, to your students,

the dignity you give yourself,

the same clumsy pretty makeup you're wearing.

I wanted to tell you if right now...

- He's a thief! - That's him!

Come here!

Call the police. Say we caught the thief!

- I'm not a thief! - What were you doing here?

Where are you going?

Hello? Police station?

There is a burglar in our house.

Yes, he is in our house now.

- Listen to me! - Shut up!

Write the address. Flat 3, No 24, Vernoos Alley.

You came at the worst time!

Thank you.

By God I needed it.

I must pay 500,000 to some unmanly to take me across the border.

Lame excuse!

Is it good they return me to the frontline?

- You are a deserter? - Yes.

They'll court-martial me.

I'm afraid of war!

I can't kill anybody.

- But you can break into houses. - It is much easier!

This is my bag! Do anything you want.

Everything I have is in it. Give it to the cop--

Don't give it to the cop! Just let me go.

I let you go?

The police thought my wife and I were the thieves.

He asked why we don't go downstairs.

He is justified to suspect you! Why don't you go?

Shut up, cheeky boy! I can handle you of all people!

Beg the police, not me.

All thieves are scared.

- He's telling the truth? - What?

They'll stick him!

- He said that? - Whatever!

I don't know.

Don't!

Don't make untidy my husband's bedroom!

He's arranged it by millimeter!

- It was a snide remark? - No!

This laughter of yours!

I don't know if you're laughing at me or not.

I was serious.

I said stop!

Hello?

Yes, captain.

No, he's still here.

Yes

Thank you, bye.

They're on the way.

Wanted to know if he's gone.

He's here.

He died?

Fool!

What do we tell the police?

It's scarier tonight.

- Shall we go down? - Let's.

Dad says we must go to a safer town after my last exam.

Hello, Mr Zoka'ee. Mrs Zoka'ee.

Samaneh, move over.

I'll be back now.

Tonight isn't your night!

Mr Maleki did the right thing. He left with his family.

It is like the Russian roulette.

Nobody knows when and where it will be hit.

That's why I must get this letter to you anyhow.

Because I fear, God forbid,

this war and missiles will end soon,

and I won't be able to see you again.

When did you move?

I must watch you!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

There are people behind this.

Help

Help

I know war is a bad thing and everybody is afraid of it.

Further back!

Help

But honestly I mist disagree

I love war

I love missile attacks.

I love the shelter.

I love the basement.

My husband is inside.

There is someone on the 3rd floor.

My husband is inside.

- You sure? - Yes.

Stand there. It is dangerous.

Let me go!

I think my life's got pretty with these things.

Let me go with him. I'm his wife.

They'll look after him.

I think the world is more beautiful when people fall in love.

Hap?

Heartbeat is better.

Hay!

- He's blinking. - Thank God!
