Through the Olive Trees Page #4

You'll get through, Inch' Allah,

in half an hour.

You're joking!

I've got tons of things to do!

So have we! We come from the provinces,

we slave here for others,

all that just to feed our families.

That's no answer.

How do I get past?

We'll ask a worker

to clear the road.

But just one!

That's not my problem.

I'm in a hurry!

If you're in a hurry,

your worker can help us.

Move the bricks

and clear the road!

- We'll all finish faster.

- It's not his job to do that!

- It's your job.

- It is not our problem!

- You're blocking the road!

You should clear it.

You move them.

Ma'am, I'm really sorry.

I'll gladly do anything you ask,

but not masonry...

I'm not in building any more.

I came to appear in your film.

I'll work as an actor,

but not as a mason!

- Yes?

- The road to Koker, please?

- Koker? It's behind you.

- The road's blocked.

Carry on a bit,

there's a track after the bridge.

Hey! Hossein!

Don't get too big-headed!

Ma'am...

Why ask someone else

for directions

when I'm from around here?

Since you no longer

touch plaster or masonry,

I thought you didn't

give directions either!

You only want only to be an actor...

so I asked someone else.

- Whose turn?

- Mine, sir!

You? No, you're too clever.

Too clever by half.

Right, children,

we'll see about the rest later.

- Mr. Panahi, are you ready?

- Yes.

Hossein, hurry up!

- Mr. Jafarian?

- Yes?

Mrs. Shiva, hurry up.

We're rehearsing.

Mr. Kheradmand, hurry.

Ready when you are.

Shot 1, take 1.

Very good... Stay where you are!

- Hello!

- Hello

Hello...

Cut!

Hossein,

why don't you say anything?

Pick up the sack

and go back down.

Farhad, don't look at him too much

as he goes up!

- Understand?

- Yes.

Shot 1, take 2

Very good... Stay where you are!

- Hello

- Hello

Hello...

Cut!

Mrs. Shiva,

didn't you rehearse with him?

Of course I did,

he was fine in the car.

Take the sack back down.

When I say hello to her,

she doesn't reply.

She refuses to greet me.

What am I supposed to do?

- She doesn't say hello?

- No.

Right, we've stopped

because of you.

So tell me, what' s going on

between you and that girl.

Tell me.

Well, it was at Eynollah's,

God bless him,

where I used to work.

This young girl used to live

in the house just opposite.

She was sitting on the stairs,

studying

She was there, just opposite me,

and to my eyes,

she looked so gentle,

the kind I could see myself marrying.

I conceived the notion

of marrying her.

Then I went back to work

until the end of the day.

When I went to wash

my hands and feet,

I saw her mother coming over

to the spring to fetch water.

I spoke to her about her daughter.
