What's The Time In Your World?

Hello, Antoine? I'm calling to tell you I'm going to Iran.

Actually, I'm at the airport in Tehran now. It was a last minute decision.

Sorry to let you know like this. I promise to keep in touch.

Don't worry. Good-bye.

- Hello. - Hello.

How do you do? I'm Farhad.

Excuse me.

Don't you recognize me? I'm Farhad...

- I must look completely different! - Are the taxis into town here?

No, they're over there. Let me help you. The signs are misleading.

They used to stop there, but they're all here now.

I'm sorry, let me get my handbag!

Are you the taxi driver?

No, It's me! Farhad the 'Mr. Idiot'.

What are you talking about?

Well then, welcome to Rasht.

She is going to Sagharisazan.

How do you know where I'm going?

Thank you.

It's Mr. Mehraban!

Could you stop here, please?

Mr. Mehraban! Mr. Mehraban... Hello!

I am Goli, Enayat's daughter...

Don't you remember me?

Gileh-Gol Ebtehaj... I'm your daughter's classmate.

I'm Goli.

I'm Goli... Enayat's daughter.

Goli means flower and you're no flower...

You are a thorn.

My dearest son is dead because of you!

Because of me?! Which son?

You only have two daughters... Maryam and Yasmin.

Aren't you the kind Mr. Mehraban I once knew?

Who's this kind bastard you speak of?

What news do you have of Yasmin?

I haven't seen her for years...

I should get the house keys from Aroos. Doesn't she still live at the end of this street?

That cursed Aroos!

Go get your key to that ruined house.

May God have mercy on Enayat's soul.

And on that foul-mouthed Hava, your mother!

Mr. Farhad! Have you finished my frame yet?

Please forgive me, Bahman...

I've been busy these past few days...

It's right here... don't worry, I won't forget it.

Who's the artist? It's beautiful.

Isn't it? It's French.

I really need to take French classes with you.

Look how shy she is!

How do you know she's shy? Maybe the artist was shy!

You have amazing taste, sir!

One never gets bored looking around here.

You know, I didn't choose all of them.

People bring things to be framed and never pick them up.

Not all are in a hurry like you.

Aroos, dear!

Please answer the phone.

Miss Goli, it's Farhad.

Farhad?

You remember Farhad, the frame maker.

Wasn't he your classmate?

Hello...

"Dark eyes...

"Intense eyes...

"Eyes that wait for my arrival...

"Eyes that know all my secrets..."

I actually thought you might not remember me at all.

I am the Farhad who hung around campus...

but wasn't a university student.

You might remember me later.

It's strange. How did you know I was coming?

3 days ago I didn't know myself!

Anyway, thanks for your help today.

Will we meet again?

Yes, definitely.

Let me get settled in.

Let me know if you ever need anything.

Where is the light in this room?

It's turned off. I'll tell Abbas to fix these things tomorrow.

My father didn't like to say, 'Turn it off'.

Instead he would say, "Let that light rest!"

This is for you, Aroos dear.

You shouldn't have.

- It's beautiful! - It's nothing.

I came in such a hurry, there wasn't time for shopping.

I wish you had come sooner.

When your mother was still here.

When I was young, Goli's dad came to our house.

He had business with my father.

When he saw me...

he recited a poem written on paper.

We didn't know what to do.

It wasn't a time for nightingales and poetry!

He was nuts, yet amusing.

- Will you stop moving around!? - I'm sorry.

What difference does it make?

You're drawing something else completely.

I've drawn something different?

Is it bad if I make you look good?

No, it's great.

We might show it to Goli one day.

There was this guy at university...

you know him, Ali Yaghuti.

He was cold one day and borrowed my coat.

Just like you, Goli was drawing him.

She said, "What a nice coat! I haven't seen you wear it before. Is it new?"

That really angered me.

After seeing me in this coat so many times, she didn't recognize it!

And then she told him it looked nice!

My blood boiled.

And you died from jealousy!

Oh, my dearest mother!

Mother, I love you so much.

I miss the sound of your name.

What are you doing here?

My dear, beautiful Hava...

Come here, girl, see how much you weigh.

Yes, of course.

78.

What! I am barely 55.

Exactly 78.

You can read this. It's in French!

Do you know me?

You are Mrs. Ebtehaj's daughter, aren't you?

Haven't you just returned from abroad?

Your absence has aged these young men.

Does everybody know everything around here?

Toujours!

"If breaking a heart is an art, then an off-key goose can be a diva."

What does that mean?

Maybe you should fix your scale for next time.

Tomorrow I'm a shoe shine man, I bring the scale every other day.

How orderly!

Is the old bistro still down this way?

Yes.

Here you are, dear Goli!

Thank you...

How nice that you remember me. I've been away for more than twenty years.

Dear girl, it is much better to remember you...

than the aroma of this porridge.

My dad used to bring me here often.

But this tastes different!

It's bland.

Have you been to the cemetery?

Your dad's tombstone needs tending. It's cracked.

I saw it.

I can't do anything alone. I'll talk to my aunt about it.

You don't deserve to be alone.

Couldn't you have brought a French husband home...

while your mother was alive?

Didn't this have some mint in it?

Mint in my porridge? Never!

Well, look who's here!

Oh, no!

Hello.

Here you are.

What is this?

It's for you.

It's nothing bad.

- How are you, Rahim? - Thank you.

With your permission.

Do you know him?

How strange!

"Dark eyes... intense eyes...

"Eyes that wait for my arrival."

I used to love this song.

"Eyes that know all my secrets..."

"... that know all my secrets..."

"To my dear Gileh-Gol."

- Hello! - Hello!

I wondered if my "Guardian Angel" knew I was here!

Where can I find good smoked fish?

Do you need it to make 'Siliodka'?

- Yes. - It's this way.

Wait...

Mr. Farhad!

The Farhad who hung around campus but wasn't a student.

Farhad the kind-hearted frame maker!

Wait a minute! Stop!

Was it your doing?

What?

It was you, wasn't it?

Did what?

You sent me that photo when I was in Paris?
