This Is Not a Film Page #5
And we learn that she's alone at home
no one other
and that she is in fact
the girl's paternal grandmother.
her last words and talks of the boy
and says that he is a nice boy.
She says that
she thinks the boy might in fact
be the next-door girl's suitor.
Once again the old woman
gives the girl her last word,
and says that
she won't visit the girl for a week.
We hear her footsteps
as she goes back
the way she had come in.
We hear the door
open to the alley and...
and through this same frame...
we see the old woman.
As we hear the door
we also see the boy
leave his standing position
at the top of the alley.
The old woman
who has entered the frame...
walks to the end of the alley
and turns right.
After a moment
the boy takes up his position again.
and stares at this window.
This was the opening shot.
Second shot
take this place to be the bathroom,
and the camera
We hear the usual sounds
from inside the bathroom.
Then the door opens
and for the first time
we see the girl
who has a shaven head.
She goes to the bed,
and sits on the edge of the bed.
And the bed is here
as we said before.
Then she lies on the bed
for a moment
and touches her face.
The phone rings.
She goes toward the phone,
which is located here.
Suppose this is the phone on the table.
She answers the phone,
but no one talks.
She slams the receiver to the floor.
She throws herself on the bed...
and as her face is buried
in the mattress, she cries.
After a while
she turns and stares at the ceiling
for a few moments.
There is a strong rope
hanging from the ceiling.
The girl is sitting on the chair and...
stares intently,
as if deciding to do the last thing...
that she must do
before committing suicide.
ln the previous shot,
when no one answered the phone,
she had slammed
the phone to the ground
and it was shattered
with its pieces all over the floor.
Now she is looking
at the phone in pieces.
Next shot. Cut.
The handset that she slammed
is in pieces here.
This shot is in fact
the P.O.V. of the girl.
the pieces when...
She mechanically puts
the handset to her ear.
''Hello?''
She goes toward the base...
and pushes...
What is it?
Why don't you continue?
ln a moment...
We hear the end-of-call tone.
Maryam thinks for a moment.
Although she is upset...
If we could tell a film
then why make a film?
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
How much is that?
