You've played this?

-Is he telling the truth?

-Yes!

Are you sane boy?

Do you know you could do with this?

We did Nader.

Knocked on every door, even broke them.

It doesn't work.

It's meaningless.

Here you can't do anything.

In this country you don't have a chance.

We'll do it!

I'll get you permit for it.

Start breaking doors again!

Scream again, what the hell!!!

That's what music's about!

That's the best thing you can do!

What nonsense is it to leave it?

Not being able to do it in your own country?

I'll do it for you!

I'm connected to one heavy guy in the guidance ministry

Going to get you a real permit, legit! Original!

Sell you tickets for thousands of attendants.

Nader?

We've come for something else...

Of course, I know! I'll get you passport and visa.

But once do it for you people and friends here.

I know the quality of this.

Isn't Indie-Rock the genre you play?

Well I'm not an ass, I know you want to create a band.

-You have 312 Indie-Rock bands only here in Iran!

-How's that possible?

How's it not possible?

You think it's only Tehran?

Have you heard Kurdish Indie-Rock? Khorasani?

Lor or Baloch? There you go.

There's 2500 something Pop groups in Iran.

Where's all the females who're forbidden to sing?

Here! I know each and every of the females that

aren't allowed to sing. I know three generation of musicians, see!

He's really good, This friend is a genius.

Beyond expectation...

Hamed!

-Yes

-Hi!

Hi!

How are you?

Sit down.

Did you know that one's not the mother?

It was hit in an accident and had six kittens

Ok you tell them the story then.

She was pregnant, but because of the platinum that she had in her stomach

from the accident she couldn't deliver.

So my brothers friends brought these

so both she could be happy and these kittens.

You know Hamed we are looking for a good guitar player.

If it goes as planned we'll create a band.

Chances are that we travel abroad.

Have some concerts and record something.

What's your genre?

-It's something like Indie-Rock, and if could help us

-Yes if there's anything I can do, sure.

-What'd you think of Hamed?

He was good, very good. I think he'll leave before we do.

Everybody's leaving.

What should we do with the e-mail from London if can't make it?

-I don't know

-There's also an e-mail from France for independent foreign groups after London.

You know what I think We should pay Nader some more

so he gets us permits for concerts and a cassettes.

Let's first see this David...

That money is more important. Don't need to think of the cassette that much.

Cause I'm sure they wont grant us a permit.

It's impossible.

First off we've got to go and see all the groups
