Baran Page #3

Synopsis: Young Lateef works on a construction site in Tehran with some Turks and a few illegal Afghan workers. When Lateef is given heavier tasks to compensate for new Afghan worker Rahmat, he resents his displacement and treats Rahmat cruelly. After one of his pranks, however, Lateef discovers Rahmat's secret--he is a girl named Baran. Latif's heart softens towards Baran and he shows his new affection for her by doing what he can to ease the hardships she suffers at work. When government inspectors force all Afghans to be fired from the site, Lateef discovers he cannot bear to be without her. Jeopardizing social standing and endangering his own well being, Lateef stops at nothing to save his love.

where you do the shopping.

Introduce him

to the Dariani shop owner.

Tell him to bring his own

ID card to give to Dariani.

He's got no ID card.

That's not my problem!

I'll get my card back!

Hell, get it! You think it is

such a precious sh*t?

You're right!

In the past months, that's

what has fed your stomachs.

Kid, don't play

this game with me.

Get lost, stupid animal!

It's my mistake to try

to make a man out of you!

Why the hell are you

standing here staring at me?

Come on, clear off!

I'm warning you, Afghan!

You're taking my job

and one day

I'll smash your nose

into your brain!

-Thanks, Rahmat.

-Finally a real tea!

A good change

from Lateef's dishwater!

This is for you.

I don't need it.

I'm not in a wheelchair!

Well done, Rahmat.

The food's great.

Smart kid.

Well done, Rahmat.

You're doing a greatjob.

Who told you to put your

disgusting hands on my shirt?!

You're messing it up!

-Good morning.

-Good morning, Soltan.

-Hello. How are you doing?

-Fine, thanks.

You're alone?

Rahmat isn't coming?

He is. There was no more bread

in the bakery. He had to wait.

Hey, kid,

you're not working today?

I am.

So, why are you dressed

like a pop star?

Why not? It's very possible

to work with these clothes. See?

-What's the hurry?

-Nothing.

-Go upstairs with this worker.

-I'm busy.

There is a wall to knock down.

Go, I tell you!

Kid, come on, move.

You've got no brain! I told you

I want Montana cigarettes!

What are these lousy cigarettes

you got me? Take them back!

Cigarettes are all the same.

They go up in smoke.

He's got hundreds

of things to do.

He is no servant of yours.

And what has it got to do

with you, moron?

Is your face

in need of a quick fix?

You want to fix it?

What about smashing your nose

to the back of your skull?

Just get lost, will you, moron!

What's going on?

Lateef, you're like

a fighting cock

always ready to jump and fight!

Stop it! Go back to your work!

Thank you, Rahmat, that's nice.

Thanks for the trouble.

You're kind.

-What is your name?

-Ismael.

One, two, three, four, five.

Take this.

Thank you.

Lateef, close the tap.

Kid, have you got fresh tea?

This isn't a tea room!

Get out of here!

Are you the watchman

of the building or what?

I don't feel like

beating you up.

So, get back to your work

right now or I'll call Memar.

Hey, man,

mind your own business!

Memar! Memar!

You're a real dummy.

All right, but remember,

one day I'll have my revenge.

Hey, do you work here?

How many Afghans work here?

You're not answering?

Come here.

Go and catch him!

Afghans, run,

go and hide yourselves!

The inspectors are here!

Rahmat, go!
