Hello Maryam, it’s me, John.
00:01:10:22
00:01:14:16
Pick up the phone if you are in.
00:01:16:01
00:01:18:17
If not, listen to my message.
00:01:19:13
00:01:22:08
I turned 40 today and
decided to revolt against myself.
00:01:24:09
00:01:33:07
I celebrated my birthday in the street.
Alone and all by myself.
00:01:36:21
00:01:44:07
I lit 40 candles and for
an hour I've been following
00:01:46:20
00:01:52:16
street musicians that reminds me
of my parents.
00:01:52:16
00:01:59:23
-Hello, how are you?
-Fine.
00:02:02:18
00:02:06:19
-I am celebrating today.
-Congratulations.
00:02:06:19
00:02:09:05
-Will you sing?
-With all my heart.
00:02:09:05
00:02:11:14
-We’ll go around the city.
-Ok.
00:02:11:14
00:02:14:00
-How much do you charge?
-Whatever you wish to pay.
00:02:14:00
00:02:19:17
-Will you sing with all your heart?
-Of course.
00:02:19:17
00:02:22:19
-Get in. In yet?
-I am in.
00:02:38:23
00:02:41:06
Let’s go.
00:02:41:06
00:02:43:05
Can you hear the music, Maryam?
00:03:51:05
00:03:53:21
Of course you will when you wake up.
00:03:56:03
00:03:59:08
By the way come to dance class
at 2 o’clock.
00:04:03:08
00:04:08:08
Two hours before other girls do.
00:04:10:09
00:04:14:13
Don’t forget to bring your red rose.
00:04:15:18
00:04:19:06
With your heavenly love.
00:04:19:18
00:04:22:18
The key to dance class
is in the tree trunk as usual.
00:04:24:03
00:04:27:22
Come, I have a surprise for you.
00:04:27:22
00:04:30:17
For now, listen to this music
for your soft feeling.
00:04:30:17
00:04:36:17
Hello Farzaneh.
00:06:07:24
00:06:10:11
It’s me, John.
00:06:11:10
00:06:13:03
It’s my birthday today.
Come to dance class at 2 o’clock.
00:06:14:05
00:06:21:13
Don’t bring your dog please.
00:06:23:15
00:06:26:15
The key is in the tree trunk.
00:06:27:23
00:06:30:19
If not just come to the room.
00:06:31:23
00:06:34:07
Door is open.
00:06:34:15
00:06:38:04
I’ll be waiting for you.
00:06:39:05
00:06:41:15
Come but with no sorrow or crying.
00:06:42:13
00:06:45:24
I want to see a happy Farzaneh.
00:06:46:10
00:06:49:08
Come, I have a surprise for you.
00:06:49:08
00:06:52:09
John! I'm here.
00:07:16:09
00:07:20:01
Hello, John I am here.
00:07:48:22
00:07:54:22
Hello, it’s me, John.
00:08:12:20
00:08:15:19
Tahmineh, can you come
to dance class at 2 o’clock?
00:08:17:24
00:08:21:19
Not at 4.
00:08:22:23
00:08:26:06
If you come at 2,
I have a surprise for you.
00:08:28:04
00:08:33:10
No, our meeting has nothing to do
with my birthday.
00:08:35:12
00:08:39:23
It’s something else.
Something ordinary but it will stun you.
00:08:40:16
00:08:48:01
I want you to see the truth
with your own eyes.
00:08:49:12
00:08:53:13
I am revolting against myself.
00:08:55:17
00:09:01:08
John! Where are you?
00:09:44:21
00:09:50:21
Hello Malahat, it’s me, John.
00:11:49:05
00:11:52:20
How are you?
Feeling better?
00:11:53:10
00:11:56:14
I hope you are feeling better.
00:11:57:20
00:12:00:23
It would’ve been nice if you came
to dance class at 2 o’clock.
00:12:01:12
00:12:07:01
Don’t forget our favorite wine.
00:12:08:09
00:12:11:05
I have a surprise for you.
00:12:11:05
00:12:13:24
John.
00:12:58:03
00:13:00:10
Four girlfriends at the same time?
Is this love?
00:17:08:03
00:17:12:10
It’s a search, Maryam.
00:17:13:22
00:17:15:19
I found a piece of my heart
with each one of you.
00:17:16:03
00:17:19:17
I know this is the end for us but
I want to talk to you all.
00:17:20:16
00:17:27:14
Let me start talking to my first love.
00:17:28:10
00:17:34:22
Go back to rehearsing.
00:17:35:19
00:17:39:05
I can’t believe this will be the
last time I’ll dance with you.
00:18:43:13
00:18:47:21
We were not meant to be together.
00:18:47:21
00:18:50:13
I’ll quit you and dancing forever.
00:18:50:13
00:18:53:18
Do you remember the first
time we saw each other?
00:18:55:11
00:18:59:01
You welcomed me, remember?
00:19:38:24
00:19:43:02
You were laughing and
waving your hands.
00:19:47:02
00:19:52:24
Why?
00:19:52:24
00:19:55:04
That was the first time our
plane flew with one passenger.
00:19:55:04
00:20:00:08
Dear passengers,
00:20:00:21
00:20:02:16
fasten your seat belts.
00:20:02:16
00:20:04:12
If necessary, oxygen masks will
drop over your head.
00:20:04:12
00:20:09:13
Exit doors…
00:20:09:13
00:20:11:15
Ladies and gentlemen,
00:20:12:13
00:20:14:03
if an emergency arises
00:20:15:22
00:20:18:12
there are 2 exit doors at the end
and 2 in the middle of the aircraft.
00:20:18:12
00:20:23:15
Ladies and gentlemen,
00:20:37:03
00:20:38:18
if an emergency arises
00:20:39:15
00:20:42:05
there are 2 exit doors at the end
and 2 in the middle of the aircraft.
00:20:44:05
00:20:49:08
Ladies and gentlemen,
00:20:50:12
00:20:52:02
if an emergency arises
00:20:52:15
00:20:55:05
there are 2 exit doors at the end
and 2 in the middle of the aircraft.
00:20:58:24
00:21:04:02
Please get ready for take off.
00:21:28:19
00:21:32:04
Remember you said flight duration
was one hour and passengers
00:21:55:18
00:22:02:01
would be offered cold and hot drinks?
00:22:02:01
00:22:05:18
Remember that?
00:22:05:18
00:22:07:08
I did not say it. It was a recording.
00:22:07:08
00:22:10:16
Ladies and gentlemen,
flight duration is one hour.
00:22:10:16
00:22:14:06
We’ll be offering cold and hot drinks.
00:22:14:17
00:22:18:21
Would you like some tea?
00:22:19:19
00:22:22:08
Remember I offered you tea and you said no?
00:22:29:23
00:22:35:01
Remember I said if I drank tea
I would get heartbeats and
00:22:38:24
00:22:46:12
think I was falling in love again.
00:22:46:12
00:22:50:05
Remember I asked you
what you wanted to drink?
00:22:53:15
00:22:58:02
Remember I said, your love and
you took it as coffee.
00:23:01:09
00:23:08:14
Hot coffee please.
00:23:21:23
00:23:24:01
You know what my mother
taught me in my childhood?
00:24:01:16
00:24:05:18
She said to refuse two things.
00:24:05:18
00:24:08:22
A cold look and a cold coffee.
00:24:08:22
00:24:12:06
What do you think about that?
00:24:13:05
00:24:16:00
Was your coffee cold?
00:24:16:06
00:24:18:20
It was cold.
00:24:23:06
00:24:25:07
I brought you hot coffee.
00:24:25:22
00:24:29:18
John, when will you talk to me?
00:24:33:23
00:24:38:23
I will, later.
00:24:39:16
00:24:42:05
Go back to dance.
00:24:42:05
00:24:44:09
I had a heartbeat.
00:24:55:11
00:24:57:18
I was breathless.
00:24:57:18
00:25:00:13
Remember that?
00:25:00:13
00:25:03:03
How are you?
00:26:02:21
00:26:05:06
Take air away from me
but not your smile.
00:26:08:09
00:26:16:10
Remember I asked you why I was
the only passenger on the plane?
00:26:29:22
00:26:38:17
And you said after the terrorist attacks passengers
were afraid to fly.
00:26:38:17
00:26:48:05
Well, did you want me to find out
you had three other girlfriends?
00:26:58:18
00:27:05:16
Well I got it.
00:27:05:16
00:27:07:05
But all the other girls know too.
00:27:07:05
00:27:10:18
A man and a woman alone in the sky.
00:27:16:14
00:27:20:14
Like Adam and Eve.
00:27:20:14
00:27:22:15
And their first meeting in heaven.
00:27:22:15
00:27:25:10
Until now all my loves were earthly
but now I feel a divine love.
00:27:27:18
00:27:34:22
Will you now say you love me?
00:27:34:22
00:27:38:22
I am a stewardess and
have to attend my duties.
00:27:39:11
00:27:44:21
We have are told
to be friendly to make
00:27:45:22
00:27:48:21
our guests feel at home
00:27:48:21
00:27:52:04
but no any intimate relationship.
00:27:52:04
00:27:56:22
I heard you.
00:28:31:12
00:28:32:17
A cold coffee and a cold look please.
00:28:32:17
00:28:37:06
What do you want?
00:28:44:22
00:28:46:15
What do you mean?
00:29:01:01
00:29:02:23
Was Maryam’s coffee hot?
00:29:36:10
00:29:39:19
Yes, I asked her out.
00:29:39:19
00:29:44:04
Whenever I fell in love
I made a statue out of a dry tree.
00:30:02:20
00:30:09:03
Did you make this for me?
00:30:13:11
00:30:16:12
I sculpted the other one for you.
00:30:16:12
00:30:19:04
You know every time
I find my house key,
00:30:30:09
00:30:34:00
it feels like a mystery unraveled.
00:30:34:00
00:30:37:10
What’s this? A watch?
00:30:39:01
00:30:42:09
It’s a chronometer.
00:30:42:19
00:30:44:19
What is it for?
00:30:44:19
00:30:47:02
I record my life’s
happy moments with it.
00:30:48:01
00:30:51:16
How much have you recorded?
00:30:51:16
00:30:55:08
I remember you said 19 hours
and 21 more hours would add up
00:31:10:12
00:31:16:23
to 40 hours of love.
00:31:16:23
00:31:20:07
I would have been happy
for one hour every year.
00:31:25:23
00:31:33:09
You turned 40 today.
Happy birthday.
00:31:38:11
00:31:43:08
Thank you.
00:31:43:08
00:31:45:14
I am 40 years old but haven’t
lived for more than 40 hours.
00:31:46:10
00:31:53:04
I remember you asked me why
I recorded time with the chronometer.
00:31:58:08
00:32:03:19
I remember saying
I recorded my useful lifetime.
00:32:03:19
00:32:08:11
Did you find it?
00:32:18:13
00:32:21:07
Not yet.
00:32:22:00
00:32:24:14
You know butterflies only
live for one day.
00:32:28:18
00:32:34:21
They are born, fall in love and
reproduce on the same day.
00:32:35:19
00:32:45:09
They don’t think of anything.
00:32:45:09
00:32:47:23
They only fly and kiss their flowers.
00:32:54:05
00:32:56:15
Butterflies have more useful
lifetime than we do.
00:32:56:15
00:33:02:04
In all these forty years I didn’t
even live a butterfly’s life.
00:33:04:21
00:33:11:17
What about you?
00:33:15:13
00:33:25:03
Me?
00:33:25:03
00:33:28:04
I mean how many romantic
memories do you have?
00:33:28:22
00:33:31:02
Did you find the chronometer?
It was in your hand.
00:33:32:03
00:33:33:18
Not yet.
Have you ever been in love?
00:33:34:19
00:33:41:14
No.
00:33:44:11
00:33:49:02
Perhaps when you are a stewardess,
according to regulations
00:33:49:02
00:33:55:08
your heart must be made of stone.
00:34:00:17
00:34:03:01
In fact I fell in love once.
00:34:03:21
00:34:08:03
I didn’t even realize that I did.
00:34:08:03
00:34:10:20
My mother knew it.
00:34:13:00
00:34:18:12
I remember as a child when I
played outside I used to see a boy.
00:34:19:12
00:34:23:15
He always looked at me like a cat
about to catch a dove.
00:34:23:15
00:34:25:24
I was scared of him and
got heartbeats.
00:34:25:24
00:34:31:07
I was really afraid of him.
00:34:31:07
00:34:38:21
I told my mother I was scared
of that boy.
00:34:38:21
00:34:44:20
That every time I saw him
I got heartbeats.
00:34:45:23
00:34:50:04
Mother said:
“Heartbeats don’t mean fear.
00:34:50:04
00:34:53:07
It means love.
You are in love, my dear.”
00:34:53:07
00:34:58:06
Do you have a heartbeat now?
00:34:58:06
00:35:04:15
I want to hug you.
00:35:04:15
00:35:10:24
Why do men always want
to capture a woman’s body?
00:35:42:21
00:35:46:11
Because I want to prove
my love for you.
00:35:49:10
00:35:52:19
Does love mean
capturing the body?
00:35:53:18
00:35:58:12
I make love therefore, I am.
00:35:58:12
00:36:02:17
This is my philosophy.
00:36:03:24
00:36:08:04
I am loved therefore, I am.
00:36:08:04
00:36:10:21
This is my philosophy.
00:36:10:21
00:36:12:18
I wanted to embrace you
but you…
00:36:12:18
00:36:15:07
My body belongs to
he who captures my soul.
00:36:15:07
00:36:17:08
Rehearse girls.
Hands up, 1,2, 3, 4…
00:36:17:08
00:36:21:10
Turn. Stand still like ice.
1, 2, 3, 4.
00:36:22:10
00:36:28:08
Maryam, every love is a result
of some ordinary incidence.
00:40:21:20
00:40:31:10
If I hadn’t flown on that airplane
or if you weren’t the stewardess there,
00:40:31:10
00:40:34:06
no love affair would have emerged.
00:40:43:00
00:40:52:15
Or maybe a different couple was
at the verge of breaking up now.
00:40:52:15
00:40:57:07
Wait. Listen.
00:41:10:23
00:41:18:18
I was searching the sky
to find an earthly love.
00:41:22:16
00:41:30:08
But your love on earth
is still a heavenly love.
00:41:30:08
00:41:33:13
You didn’t even let me kiss you.
00:41:33:13
00:41:39:11
You know how much happy
moment we’ve had together?
00:41:39:11
00:41:42:16
2 hours and 20 minutes.
00:41:42:16
00:41:45:19
Listen, I am 40 years old
but never even lived
00:41:45:19
00:41:49:05
as much as a butterfly.
00:41:49:05
00:41:53:06
Wait, take this chronometer
as keepsake.
00:41:53:06
00:41:58:01
Ask your mother how many
minutes your heart beat for
00:41:58:01
00:42:01:18
that boy in your childhood.
00:42:07:15
00:42:12:24
Then record it in this chronometer.
00:42:12:24
00:42:18:20
Record all your happy
moments in it from now on.
00:42:23:11
00:42:28:18
See how many times
you get a heartbeat for
00:42:31:06
00:42:34:14
someone in your life.
00:42:34:14
00:42:37:07
Let your heart beat at least
once a year otherwise
00:42:37:07
00:42:39:24
this chronometer will die down.
00:42:39:24
00:42:43:07
Good luck.
00:42:43:07
00:42:45:21
John, why did you do this?
00:42:45:21
00:42:48:02
I thought you only drank
wine like this with me.
00:42:48:02
00:42:52:06
I know you treated
every one equally.
00:42:52:06
00:42:55:05
Take this chronometer.
00:43:12:14
00:43:15:11
The 3 hours,13 minutes of my sweet
memories are now bitter.
00:45:20:04
00:45:24:15
Go dance.
00:45:25:09
00:45:29:18
Girls, new dance.
00:45:29:18
00:45:33:21
Don’t you teach me how to dance.
00:45:34:13
00:45:39:08
I know dancing better than you.
00:45:39:17
00:45:48:12
I was inspired by your
walking for this dance.
00:45:52:08
00:45:56:01
That night my guest was a poet.
00:46:05:02
00:46:08:00
A famous poet.
00:46:36:00
00:46:37:22
Fill up the cup.
00:46:37:22
00:46:40:05
That this fiery water.
00:46:40:19
00:46:43:19
Has long since failed
to make me feel good.
00:46:45:01
00:46:50:09
These cups lined up
one after another.
00:46:51:10
00:46:54:10
Are seas of fire that I
pour in my mouth.
00:46:54:24
00:46:57:16
The whirlpool steals me away
but the water won’t take me.
00:46:59:04
00:47:02:06
Thank you.
00:47:02:24
00:47:11:11
What kind of wine would you like?
00:47:14:05
00:47:19:08
And the wine does nothing
but make me fall asleep.
00:47:20:13
00:47:25:24
Fill up the cup.
00:47:26:17
00:47:32:21
Hello Sir, welcome to our city.
00:47:36:02
00:47:38:02
Thank you.
00:47:39:17
00:47:44:02
-An autograph please.
-Ok.
00:47:44:16
00:47:54:06
Those young guys recognized the
poet and wanted to stay with
00:47:54:06
00:47:55:02
him but he was evading them.
00:47:56:04
00:48:01:09
What does the poet’s case
have to do with me?
00:48:26:11
00:48:29:20
How is it not related to you?
00:48:29:20
00:48:31:20
You have to know what
happened to me before I saw you.
00:48:31:20
00:48:36:10
I asked that poet why
he ignored his fans.
00:48:58:13
00:49:05:14
Sir, these guys are your fans.
00:49:05:14
00:49:08:22
Give them 5 minutes of your time.
00:49:09:12
00:49:12:04
John,
00:49:12:04
00:49:14:23
they are my fans but also
murderers of my time.
00:49:14:23
00:49:22:12
My whole life was wasted
over these 5-minute times.
00:49:23:17
00:49:28:11
Minutes are called time but
in essence they are lifetime and
00:49:31:24
00:49:36:16
to preserve a lifetime,
one shouldn’t compromise.
00:49:37:14
00:49:41:09
Excus me, Sir.
00:49:41:09
00:49:43:15
John, don’t leave. It’s a warning.
00:49:44:13
00:49:54:03
Minutes are called time…
00:49:54:03
00:49:57:03
What is your best poem ever, Sir?
00:49:59:08
00:50:08:19
Best poem?
The one I'll be composing now.
00:50:11:22
00:50:21:12
In the name of love.
00:50:21:12
00:50:25:12
In the name of lovers.
00:50:32:17
00:50:42:07
Wait.
Will you let me speak in Russian?
00:50:42:07
00:50:43:19
There is a tradition for
romantic drinking.
00:50:45:14
00:50:48:18
Not only glasses touch but
whoever is more in love
00:50:49:17
00:50:55:00
has to hold his glass lower.
.00:51:17:02
00:51:20:23
Just a minute.
I want to teach you something.
00:51:20:23
00:51:23:18
Sweet dreams.
00:51:23:18
00:51:29:12
Why don’t you sleep?
00:52:35:13
00:52:37:09
I don’t know.
00:52:37:09
00:52:39:20
Do you have a heart?
00:52:42:00
00:52:46:13
Yes I do.
00:52:46:13
00:52:50:06
It’s easier for me to
speak in Russian.
00:52:50:06
00:52:57:05
Can you speak Russian?
00:52:57:05
00:53:00:17
Yes.
00:53:27:19
00:53:32:24
Where is your heart?
I want to hear it beat.
00:54:40:18
00:54:44:20
It’s here.
Come listen.
00:58:25:20
00:58:29:13
How come it is not beating?
00:58:30:09
00:58:33:08
Is it dead?
00:58:38:00
00:58:40:17
No.
00:58:40:17
00:58:44:06
Listen to my heart;
how it’s beating for your love.
00:58:44:06
00:58:46:10
Listen.
00:58:46:10
00:58:48:01
This is not a heartbeat.
00:58:48:01
00:58:49:14
It’s the chronometer ticking.
00:58:51:18
00:58:56:18
Why do you carry a chronometer?
00:58:56:18
00:59:00:15
I record my happy times.
00:59:08:11
00:59:11:09
Have you ever been in love?
00:59:11:09
00:59:13:01
No, others fell in love with me.
00:59:13:01
00:59:14:21
How did you know they loved you?
00:59:16:01
00:59:21:18
I used to hear their heartbeats
from behind this curtain.
00:59:22:01
00:59:24:20
Then?
00:59:35:09
00:59:38:19
When they came to this side
their hearts stopped beating.
00:59:38:24
00:59:42:17
Can you hear?
00:59:43:11
00:59:47:18
Your heart is beating hard.
I can hear it.
00:59:47:18
00:59:52:02
Come to this side.
00:59:53:02
00:59:55:07
Where is here?
00:59:55:07
00:59:59:15
Dance class.
And I am a dance teacher.
00:59:59:15
01:00:03:01
Do you know how to dance?
01:00:03:01
01:00:09:23
I am too shy.
01:00:09:23
01:00:12:14
This is not dancing.
01:00:12:14
01:00:22:04
Your walking is like a dance.
01:00:22:04
01:00:23:08
Go sit and watch.
01:00:29:11
01:00:31:15
This is how you dance.
01:00:31:15
01:00:38:06
Did you come after this color or this?
01:00:41:20
01:00:45:06
Your walking seduced me.
01:01:30:
01:01:32:12
Your feminine walk.
01:01:32:12
01:01:36:15
Your mad walking.
01:01:37:09
01:01:40:11
This drew me towards you.
01:01:58:14
01:02:01:15
Walk.
01:02:03:08
01:02:05:13
What’s behind this door?
01:02:05:13
01:02:09:11
A secret.
01:02:11:07
01:02:14:12
What secret?
01:02:18:12
01:02:22:00
If you tell me
your secret I’ll tell you mine.
01:03:24:07
01:03:29:19
I don’t have any secrets.
01:03:34:06
01:03:39:19
Why are your shoes colorful?
01:03:41:00
01:03:43:16
Smell the red one.
01:03:43:16
01:03:46:17
Do you like crying?
01:03:46:17
01:03:49:23
No,because my
make-up starts running.
01:03:49:23
01:03:53:18
I look ugly.
01:04:15:15
01:04:18:07
Your heart is really beating.
01:04:18:07
01:04:21:04
You are in love at once.
01:04:21:04
01:04:23:09
No, I don’t like love.
01:04:23:09
01:04:28:01
When men are with me,
I don’t like them.
01:04:28:01
01:04:31:08
When they leave
I start loving them.
01:04:31:08
01:04:35:18
So I’ll leave.
01:04:57:09
01:05:00:17
You can’t walk with these shoes.
01:05:26:20
01:05:30:12
Did you forget that you loved
my walking
01:05:37:13
01:05:43:02
especially with these shoes?
01:05:43:02
01:05:44:17
Not only these shoes.
01:05:44:17
01:05:48:13
Every love starts with
ordinary encounters.
01:05:48:13
01:05:50:20
If I hadn’t been touched by that poet
that life wasn’t to be wasted
01:05:50:20
01:05:53:17
perhaps, your shoes
wouldn’t have lured me.
01:05:54:21
01:05:59:04
If you hadn’t broken up with
your boyfriend maybe you
01:05:59:04
01:06:03:04
wouldn’t even notice me.
01:06:03:13
01:06:07:12
So this was not love.
01:06:38:07
01:06:42:04
It was just a romantic
circumstance and it will only
01:06:45:07
01:06:48:21
last until the next romantic situation.
01:06:48:21
01:06:51:02
Don’t forget you fell in love with
me because of these shoes.
01:06:51:02
01:06:53:10
You told me you loved my shoes.
01:06:53:10
01:06:57:06
I love you.
01:06:57:06
01:07:02:22
Say it in Tajiki.
01:07:02:22
01:07:08:08
I love you.
It can’t be translated.
01:07:08:08
01:07:12:06
I like the Tajiki word for love.
01:07:12:06
01:07:17:13
I can’t feel the Russian
word for love.
01:07:17:13
01:07:23:08
I love you till eternity.
01:07:23:08
01:07:27:19
For how long?
Only one month.
01:07:43:02
01:07:48:14
Till eternity.
01:07:59:16
01:08:04:13
Every man who told me
until eternity, only stayed
01:08:47:18
01:08:49:11
with me one month.
01:08:49:11
01:08:51:07
Wait, John.
01:08:51:07
01:08:54:03
Take the umbrella. You’ll get wet. Stop.
01:08:54:03
01:08:56:03
Thanks.
01:08:56:03
01:08:58:17
You were right.
Nothing is eternal.
01:08:58:17
01:09:01:21
Even the madly in love man’s
heartbeat for the most beautiful woman.
01:09:01:21
01:09:03:22
Where are you going?
01:09:03:22
01:09:06:00
Wait.
01:09:06:00
01:09:09:03
You loved me
because I loved you.
01:09:09:03
01:09:12:11
So this was not love.
It was a trade off.
01:09:13:14
01:09:16:15
Wait. I’ll take you, sit.
01:09:16:15
01:09:21:22
No, our love is over.
01:10:27:09
01:10:30:02
I’ll take you not as a lover
but as a cab driver.
01:10:30:19
01:10:35:13
Where are you going, Ma’am?
01:10:36:18
01:10:44:08
To the past.
To a year ago.
01:10:50:10
01:10:53:20
When I was happy.
01:11:26:21
01:11:29:10
Do you remember my birthday?
When you brought 39 candles
01:11:43:10
01:11:46:16
for my 39th birthday?
01:11:46:16
01:11:51:18
Sale, sale. Lenin’s portrait.
01:11:52:02
01:11:57:06
How are you Mr. Vladimir?
01:11:57:06
01:12:00:24
Fine.
01:12:00:24
01:12:06:20
What do you have?
01:12:12:06
01:12:13:21
Lenin’s portrait drawn
when he was alive.
01:12:13:21
01:12:17:17
I sold my own portrait of Lenin
and bought one of Jesus from you.
01:12:17:17
01:12:20:18
Remember I returned Jesus’ portrait and
got a chronometer instead?
01:12:20:18
01:12:26:03
I remember. Come in.
01:12:26:03
01:12:29:24
You can find everything in this store.
01:14:36:05
01:14:41:07
Want a chronometer? Here’s one.
01:14:41:07
01:14:42:21
It belongs to Tolstoy’s grandchild. See.
01:14:42:21
01:14:44:03
This one is Chekhov’s.
01:14:44:03
01:14:46:00
Is that right?
01:14:46:00
01:14:49:20
The Chekhov?!
01:14:49:20
01:14:53:21
Do you like Chekhov’s or
Tolstoy’s?
01:14:53:21
01:14:59:08
This one.
01:14:59:08
01:15:01:15
Whose is this?
01:15:01:15
01:15:07:04
It belongs to the grandchild of
No! it’s Stalin’s son’s.
01:15:09:19
01:15:14:05
Stalin’s son’s? Tolstoy’s grandchild,
01:15:14:05
01:15:21:08
Chekhov himself. Like that?
01:15:22:21
01:15:27:04
-Yes.
-Well
01:15:27:18
01:15:30:08
-Want to buy it?
-Yes I do.
01:15:30:08
01:15:32:16
Do you know how much
happy times we have had?
01:15:32:16
01:15:35:12
Do you know how much
happy times we have had?
01:15:35:12
01:15:38:14
Hello.
01:15:38:14
01:15:40:00
Hello it’s me, John.
01:15:40:00
01:15:45:06
This is Tahmineh.
01:15:46:09
01:15:50:15
Do you know how much
our happy times have been?
01:15:50:15
01:15:53:13
No I don’t. I erased it.
01:15:53:13
01:15:56:22
Can you hear me?
01:15:57:24
01:16:01:04
Every love is the result of
a few ordinary incidences.
01:16:03:10
01:16:08:00
If I hadn’t come up with
a diarrhea to end up in the
01:16:10:07
01:16:14:22
hospital and if you hadn’t asked
01:16:37:12
01:16:38:16
what my profession was
and if I hadn’t told you
01:16:38:16
01:16:40:20
I was a poet and
if you hadn’t told me
01:16:40:20
01:16:42:18
you liked poetry we wouldn’t
have been breaking up now.
01:16:42:18
01:16:45:16
You said that love has no
meaning except that it happens.
01:16:45:16
01:16:50:18
Neither the falling in love of
two people changes anything
01:16:57:24
01:17:03:09
in the world nor does it take
anything away from it.
01:18:36:01
01:18:43:05
These are ordinary human accidents.
01:18:46:03
01:18:52:13
All of the world’s loves have not
affected the earth as
01:18:52:13
01:18:56:02
much as the ozone layer has.
01:18:56:02
01:19:00:06
So don’t turn love into an ideology.
01:19:00:06
01:19:04:10
Love lasts with love not
with loyalty.
01:19:04:10
01:19:09:10
What would you like to eat?
01:19:09:10
01:19:13:10
Milk.
01:19:13:10
01:19:19:02
How many bowl movements
have you had?
01:19:19:02
01:19:24:14
Once.
01:19:24:14
01:19:29:14
Once?
That’s natural.
01:19:29:14
01:19:37:11
Once but all day.
01:19:37:11
01:19:42:10
Where do you feel pain?
01:19:43:13
01:19:48:14
In my stomach.
01:19:50:14
01:19:55:06
Is it severe?
01:20:08:13
01:20:10:14
What’s your job?
01:20:10:14
01:20:13:03
-I’m a poet.
-Poet?
01:20:13:03
01:20:16:10
Is poetry a profession?
01:20:16:10
01:20:18:09
I like poetry too and
write poems sometimes.
01:20:18:09
01:20:20:01
But I am a doctor.
01:20:20:01
01:20:22:05
What is your profession?
01:20:22:05
01:20:26:23
For now I am sick but
usually when I am healthy
01:20:39:23
01:20:42:01
my job is love.
01:20:42:01
01:20:43:11
Love?
Is love a profession?
01:20:43:11
01:20:46:22
It’s the best job in the world
but not a good business.
01:20:51:23
01:20:54:19
Have you ever been
loved by a man?
01:20:54:19
01:20:57:13
Many times.
01:20:57:13
01:21:01:11
Some of my patients
still love me.
01:21:01:11
01:21:07:06
They say this hospital
has love viruses.
01:21:07:06
01:21:10:08
Then let a lovesick patient
invite you to a poet’s balcony
01:21:10:08
01:21:13:18
that gathers all lovers and
makes love auguries with his poems.
01:21:18:14
01:21:24:08
Do you have time now?
01:21:24:08
01:21:27:13
Get well first.
01:21:28:24
01:21:33:14
Nobody thought about love anymore.
01:21:33:14
01:21:39:24
And nobody thought about
anything any more.
01:21:43:12
01:21:46:06
In the cold streets of the city
there’s no echo except
01:21:46:06
01:21:48:04
farewell, farewell
01:21:48:04
01:21:51:12
Nobody thought about love anymore.
01:21:51:12
01:21:56:01
And nobody thought about
anything any more.
01:21:57:01
01:22:02:21
In the cold streets of the city
there’s no echo except
01:22:02:21
01:22:10:10
farewell, farewell
01:22:10:10
01:22:12:19
Hello.
01:22:16:13
01:22:19:24
John, it’s me.
01:22:26:14
01:22:30:09
Why did you leave?
I wanted to talk to you.
01:22:30:09
01:22:36:13
Staying in dance class didn’t
mean anything anymore.
.01:22:36:13
01:22:41:10
Will you come over?
Right away.
01:22:41:10
01:22:44:03
-No, come at 12 o’clock at night, ok?
-Ok.
01:22:44:11
01:22:48:06
Thank you.
01:22:48:06
01:22:54:12
Let me introduce John.
01:22:54:12
01:22:59:09
It’s his birthday today.
He turned 40.
01:23:02:23
01:23:05:16
Sit down.
I didn’t introduce anyone yet.
01:27:41:05
01:27:42:07
I was waiting for you.
01:27:42:07
01:27:44:24
This is Safar, Lotfollah, Nik.
01:27:44:24
01:27:48:08
We owe our meeting
tonight to John’s honesty.
01:27:48:08
01:27:52:17
I have learned a lot from him.
01:27:52:17
01:27:55:02
And I want…
Would you like a drink?
01:27:55:02
01:27:59:18
I must say…take this and
light your own candles.
01:29:15:20
01:29:18:05
Excuse me…
I announce that
01:29:18:05
01:29:21:06
I have revolted against myself.
01:29:21:06
01:29:25:12
Our meeting owes it to John’s honesty
01:29:38:17
01:29:44:16
How should I put it…
I’ll say it now.
01:29:44:16
01:29:48:17
I…have decided to revolt
against myself and
01:29:48:17
01:29:55:19
I’ll tell you something
you have no clue of.
01:29:59:19
01:30:09:09
To cut it short…
all four of you were my boyfriends.
01:30:09:09
01:30:11:02
I love you Safar.
I love you John.
01:30:11:02
01:30:15:16
I love you Lotfollah and
I love you Nik.
01:30:18:03
01:30:23:16
Whore!
01:30:26:18
01:30:36:08
Safar…Safar.
01:30:40:21
01:30:44:04
-What do you think about this?
-About what?
01:30:44:04
01:30:47:24
About love. Loyalty.
01:30:47:24
01:30:52:05
I think when love ends
it gets boring.
01:30:52:05
01:30:56:22
I am afraid of constant presence
of women and love.
01:31:01:09
01:31:08:19
Once a friend asked me
what loyalty was?
01:31:15:14
01:31:21:03
You know what I said?
01:31:21:03
01:31:29:17
I said love is hot at first
and cold at last.
01:31:32:07
01:31:39:14
Love is the miracle of one moment.
01:31:39:14
01:31:44:14
If a miracle does not
last on its own,
01:32:10:16
01:32:14:01
it won’t last with any contracts.
01:32:37:18
01:32:41:06
Why are you so quiet?
01:32:48:13
01:32:54:09
What can I say?
01:32:55:06
01:32:59:18
You look too serious.
01:33:02:18
01:33:12:08
Many I speak in Russian?
01:33:15:15
01:33:24:16
Please.
01:33:24:16
01:33:32:11
All of the world’s serious stuff
seem ridiculous to me.
01:33:33:08
01:33:36:00
All important philosophies
are fallacious.
01:33:36:00
01:33:45:09
We are alone and
loneliness is our fate.
01:33:47:23
01:33:54:12
We are lonely.
01:33:55:12
01:34:00:13
But you did not mention
anything about loyalty.
01:34:00:13
01:34:06:00
We are incapable of eternal love
Love is only a short
01:34:08:03
01:34:12:02
passion that yields from
ordinary incidences.
01:34:12:22
01:34:16:03
In fact, there is no eternal love.
01:34:17:17
01:34:24:06
What is love?
01:34:29:07
01:34:31:05
To be with someone?
01:34:31:05
01:34:33:20
Or to be with someone until death?
01:34:34:24
01:34:41:00
I don’t know.
01:34:41:00
01:34:46:10
But every lover has revealed to me
a part of love’s mystery.
01:34:47:00
01:34:54:01
Although I feel love is endangered
in the contemporary world.
01:34:54:01
01:34:57:24
What do we know?
01:34:57:24
01:35:04:0
May be true love is dying on earth.
01:35:06:04
01:35:13:11
I sought love all my life
but found loneliness.
01:35:13:11
01:35:21:12
So let everyone light their
own candle of loneliness.
01:35:22:19
01:35:29:00
Hello.
01:35:44:16
01:35:48:11
Hello, it’s me.
01:35:49:14
01:35:53:14
Where are you?
01:35:53:14
01:35:58:24
Near you.
01:35:58:24
01:36:02:03
Very close.
01:36:03:03
01:36:10:09
John, I learned a lot from you.
01:36:14:08
01:36:20:21
I learned that lovemaking
01:36:20:21
01:36:25:08
is for forgetting
the sufferings of being.
01:36:27:14
01:36:32:10
John, can I kiss you?
01:36:32:10
01:36:38:07
You know what I was just thinking?
01:36:42:12
01:36:49:07
I thought if I had lived a
1000 years instead of 40,
01:37:04:20
01:37:06:02
what would our kiss taste
like at 1000?
01:37:06:02
01:37:09:03
The story of Romeo and Juliet
belongs to the past.
01:37:09:03
01:37:11:19
We can’t rely on these stories again.
01:37:11:19
01:37:14:21
We have arrived at liberty.
Sexual liberty.
01:37:16:08
01:37:18:23
But the scary thing is
we are deprived of love.
01:37:18:23
01:37:24:23
Hello.
So we see each other again.
01:39:28:02
01:39:35:18
Sit, sit.
01:39:35:23
01:39:39:18
Today is my lonely birthday.
01:39:39:18
01:39:44:20
Will you sing a song?
01:39:44:20
01:39:46:24
Of course.
01:39:46:24
01:39:49:01
Let’s go then.
01:39:49:01
01:39:51:00
