1:00:05
- Are you ill?
- The same old madness.
1:00:10
Nothing new, but you, too,
seem not much better than me.
1:00:14
Are these your new friends?
1:00:15
Well, animals appreciate affection
better than human beings.
1:00:19
Once you give them love,
they never forget.
1:00:23
I once fed one of these cats.
1:00:26
The next day, he came back
and brought another one with him.
1:00:30
Then the day after that,
two more came...
1:00:32
...and gradually,
their number increased.
1:00:34
How long have you been
doing this?
1:00:37
Well, Bahman, these days...
1:00:39
...you cannot earn a living
being an artist...
1:00:42
...but painting on ladies' manteaus
is a never ending job and...
1:00:46
...you don't need a permit to make them
or another one to show them.
1:00:51
But it is a strange thing...
1:00:54
...to talk about a living friend
as if he were dead.
1:00:58
The film is not about me.
It is a documentary.
1:01:02
Besides, this is nothing new.
1:01:03
My grandmother had bought
her burial shroud...
1:01:05
...30 years before her death.
1:01:07
Well, if it is a documentary...
1:01:09
...who will be the person
I am going to talk about?
1:01:12
It has always amused me to know...
1:01:14
...what people say about you
when you're gone.
1:01:17
It is up to you.
1:01:19
You can talk about me or another
friend. It makes no difference.
1:01:21
I'll do it, but it seems
very odd to me.
1:01:27
- Hi.
- Hello, ma'am.
1:01:29
- May God give you strength.
- Thanks.
1:01:32
- How's mother?
- As usual.
1:01:34
Ever since your son
sent these pills...
1:01:37
...the progress of the illness
has slowed a bit.
1:01:42
Every time I come into this house...
1:01:44
...and look at these pictures,
at this jasmine...
1:01:46
...my childhood memories
rush back to me.
1:01:50
But for me, dusting all this
memorabilia is too much.
1:01:53
You take care of Mother.
1:01:56
I'll send somebody
to clean the house.
1:01:59
May God reward you.
