Goodbye.

Anyway, my dear Senoor...

Yes, dear father.

Don't cry, my dear.

Teach the children that neither 13

nor 14 bring bad luck.

Don't cry. Even dying isn't bad luck.

God bless.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Care for these kids,

they're more important.

God bless you.

Mamo!

What?

Miss Senoor should come too.

Senoor! Why?

Well, one son just ran away.

Which one?

Shouan.

Shouan?

Yes, it was Shouan.

Where?

There.

Hey, Shouan.

Don't leave Shouan!

Stop!

Excuse me, if your voice

doesn't reach, use this.

What's this?

I brought it just in case.

"Just in case"?

It better be your last time.

Here, take this! Go now.

Hey, Shouan!

Stop! I'm talking to you. Stop!

Shouan...

Listen to me!

Sorry,

but I gave it to you to frighten him

not to kill him.

I told you to go away.

Stop! Three. Two.

One.

I told you to stop.

Shouan, let me see your ear.

Let me see if it suits you.

Mamo, look at

what you've done to my ear.

Look! I'm sorry,

I'll do whatever you say.

What else do you want?

Coward!

Do you think I came after you

because I'm in love with you?

It's a pity I spent 7 months

practicing with you.

If not, you'd be out.

Now you must come.

You know why?

You look like that foreign painter.

What's his name.

Do you know it, Shouan?

You mean Renoir?

No, no.

Picasso?

No, no.

Rembrandt?

Another one.

Is it the Dutch one?

Yes. What is his name?

Van Gogh.

Yes. That's it.

You look like him.

Tell my father to come down.

Why are you standing there? Come on up!

I must talk to my father.

What is it?

Tell him it's important.

Shaho wants you.

What is it?

What is it, my son?

Hello.

Hello.

We have to talk, but not here.

What?

Come with me.

Why don't you talk here?

You made me come all the way down here,

what do you want to tell me?

Would it be possible

to delay this trip?

What happened?

Last night, I saw the wise man.

What did he say?

He said to tell you

not to make this trip.

He told me

to tell you in secret

not to go on this trip.

Papa, don't go.

What else did he say?

He dreamt something bad will happen

on the 14th night of the lunar month.

The night of the fourteenth?

So what could happen?

I shouldn't do this trip?

Why not? I will make this trip.

Who wants to stop me?

For all these years,

they've stopped my singing.

This time I won't let them!

I have to go, even if it kills me.

Read me the speech text now.

All right.

"Excellencies, dear guests.

It is an honour for me, Mamo, to be

here among you for this splendid night.

As a composer and with my sons,

the first group to play the music

of freedom in free Kurdistan,

after the fall of Saddam.

Here among you, with joy I announce
