No, I'm not mad about that...
Dorsa, how many times have I told you
to put your toys away after playing?
Is it my fault
you can't finish your studies?
Didn't you waste your time
on politics at university?
Am I wrong?
Have you forgotten that you kept calling
me spineless for sticking to my studies?
Like you never tried
to stop me studying.
When did I ever do that?
When the universities reopened
after the cultural revolution
who was it that told me studying could
wait, stay home and raise the child?
Do you have a problem
looking after your child?
Are you calling me a bad mother?
No. I'm saying don't blame your
shortcomings on me and our child.
Tell me, why do you want
to go back now, all of a sudden?
I didn't leave out of choice.
The cultural revolution happened.
That was four, five years ago.
The universities reopened after a year.
So?
You only want to go back now
because your mother died...
Becoming a doctor has
always been my dream!
No, shideh, it's your mother's dream.
Dead people can't dream.
I'll be scared without you here.
I'll be back before you know it!
Mum is going to take you to granny's.
Here's this month's rent
and what we owed from last month.
Give it to ebrahimi
when it's due to shut him up.
Mum...
Mum...
Mum...
Yes?
My bed is wet.
Get up.
You still have to wet yourself
at this age!
Aren't you going to school
next year?
Go to the bathroom,
take your clothes off.
Didn't I say go to the bathroom?
I'm scared to go alone...
Your toast.
Mummy?
Now that dad is not here...
Can I sleep next to you at night?
Aren't you a big girl?
Big girls don't wet the bed either.
Why do you have trouble sleeping?
Well?
Tell me. What are you scared of?
Hey?
Djinn...
Djinn aren't real...
They are. We just can't see them.
- Who told you that?
- Mehdi.
Who's mehdi?
Sogand and Ali's cousin.
He gave me a ball of magical cat
fur to protect myself from them.
But I lost it.
Drink properly.
Djinn are just a fairytale made
Mehdi said djinn are real.
They're evil and want to hurt us...
Mehdi is talking nonsense.
- Hello, Mrs. ebrahimi.
- Hello...
- I hope it's not a bad time.
- Not at all. Please come in.
No, thanks. I just
have a small request...
- Your relative...
- Mehdi?
He has been telling scary
stories to my daughter, dorsa.
I know he's just a child,
it's nothing spiteful
trouble sleeping at night.
Please ask him not to tell
dorsa those kind of stories...
Your daughter has made a mistake.
Mehdi is mute.
He hasn't said a word
since he lost his parents.
They both got killed.
Ebrahimi took him
