What is it to your hair?

Take them inside.

Run, guys! It is the New Year!

Put them here. Go inside.

It is almost New Year.

Ghafoor! Where've you been?

Hurry!

Ghafoor!

Hurry! It is the New Year.

My God!

Don't panic! It's nothing.

I had a fight.

I'm fine. Don't fear.

Hurry, kid!

Hurry!

Breathe!

Don't panic.

I was at the seller's. This

guy came to buy 150 gr nuts.

The nut seller was an old man

and wasn't paying attention.

He tore off the picture of the crown

prince from the children's study book.

He made a cone and poured the seeds in it.

That jerk got upset.

Drink! My God!

- Dad!

- It's nothing, dear.

That jerk kicked the seller's stand

and started to tangle with him.

The old man was alone and I backed him up.

He called his friend.

I thought I'd beat the two yobs.

I wanted to bring the chain from the

lorry when I slipped and fell down...

...because I'd folded the back of my shoe.

And they thrashed me. I beat them too.

It is nothing. I was beaten a little!

Give me an AXAR. I have a headache.

May God damn them!

I told you many times not to

fold the back of your shoe!

Is it good you were beaten?

Thank you.

You didn't get angry so soon in the past.

Gold in the past!

It calmed people down.

Gold is not gold now!

- I forgot!

- What?

God!

I forgot to wish at New Year

my dad's asthma gets well.

Dad, will you tell us the

story of King Jamshid?

Please, dad!

- No, Hassan the Baldie!

- We've heard it 100 times!

Why you haven't combed your hair again?

Let's go in.

Why don't you comb your hair?

You know what'd happened?

People had held a rally.

They shouted, "Down with Shah!

Long live Khomeini!"

Down with shah?

Don't say that in front of the kids.

They'll say that in school

and they'll give us hell.

I wasn't saying it. People did.

Granny, what's the meaning of rally?

- It means rally!

- What does it mean?

It means rally!

They used to say,

"Where are you going? To rally!

Where you're not going? To rally!"

I didn't ask granny what 'longling' meant,

because I knew it meant

'to make something long'!

Like the tailor shop beside

our school in Valad Abad.

It makes the tails long! I

think two girls live there.

The soldiers started to shoot.

Then the people ran away. The

soldiers ran after them.

I thought they might see the

factory's car in the alley.

I got on and drove off.

May God have mercy on Bisafa's brother!

My uncle?

My late mother's name was Bibi Safa.

But Yazdi people say it

fast and it becomes Bisafa.

Her brother, Seyyed Hossein, is my uncle.

He is studying theology in Qom.

Whenever we go to Qom, I take a

few of my uncle's books secretly.

He has many books in Yazd too.
