Iron Island (جزیره آهنی)

In the name of God

IRON ISLAND

It's old,

but it's in good shape.

The rent is reasonable too.

It comes with everything.

See.

It stands like a rock.

Meraj!

Give me that megaphone.

Here you go, Captain.

Meraj!

Where the hell are you?

Lower the lift!

Hey Meraj!

Let go!

What's the matter?

What's wrong with you assholes?

Fighting like animals.

This bastard wrote to my sister.

He's lying, I didn't.

You've fucked up. . and you too.

Haven't I told you to stay away from this girl?

If I catch you fighting one more time

I'll throw you in the sea.

Go home.

Get to your work!

Hurry up. . let's go!

Meraj, I've told you not to leave the lift!

Go get the people down there.

Tell the guy to use the ladder. Hurry.

What is it?

Put your shoes on.

Make some tea.

Kid, I've told you a hundred times that girl isn't right for you.

You don't have anyone.

God knows where you would've ended up

if I hadn't brought you here.

I put you to work to earn some money.

To make something of yourself.

She's engaged.

Her dad's very protective.

When he gets back

from the sea, he'll put you in your place.

He wants to marry off his daughter

to have one less mouth to feed,

not to add another one.

I have a job. . An income.

You call this a job?

An income?

- Who's her fiancee? - Never you mind.

- She wants to marry me. - You both fucked up!

Captain Nemat, they're here.

Hurry up and get this phone working. People are waiting.

- Hello, Captain. - Hello there.

- How many children do you have? - Six, Captain.

Great. . may God protect them. Big family.

- That's life, Captain. - Stay here.

Look out, girl, be careful.

- Hello, Captain. - Hello there.

- Stay here with us. - Yes, yes.

I'llgive you a job here on the ship.

You'll go to work in the morning, come home after sunset. How's that?

Hello, Captain.

Hello, Haj Khanoom. You got rid of the bakery?

- I don't have any flour. - What do you do with it all?

You keep bringing in new tenants. So, I bake more.

That's fine, stop whining. I'll get you more flour.

Thank you, Captain.

The phone company's open till noon if you want to call.

No more payments due.

We're even now.

Hey, kid, look out. Watch your step.

All your kids are girls too. You have to find husbands for them.

If you stay here I'll find them good husbands.

Not those penniless punks. Suitable husbands!

I'll get good prices for you.

Everything's in order here.

They'll live a happy life together.

How much is the rent, Captain?

No rent, my dear.

Anything we charge

is spent on the ship and it's deducted from your salary.

I'll show you what you need to do

and teach you how to do it.

- Hi, Uncle Sadegh. - Hi there, Captain.

- How are you, Uncle? - I'm fine.

What do all animals need

in order to breathe?

They need air.

Second graders, be quiet.

First graders, tell me how many syllables.

Two syllables.

- The first syllable? - Dosh. .

- The second syllable? - Man.

Read it.

D. . o. . sh. .

ma. . n. (enemy)

Uncle,

I'd like to go to war and fight the enemy.

Pay attention.

The war has long ended.

You mean there'll be no more wars?

Pay attention, students.

War isn't a good thing.

May there never be a war anywhere in the world.

My dad told me we have to kill the enemy.

Uncle, where is the world?

Where we are now is part of the world.

So, we're in the world.

Uncle, but this is an oil tanker.

Pay attention, students.

We're inside the ship, the ship is in the sea,

and the sea is in the world.

So, we're all in the world.

- Understand? - Yes.

Uncle, my dad lost his leg in the war.

Uncle, who's the enemy?

You can relax. . everything's at hand.

Hello, Captain.

Hello there.

Hello, teacher.

Please. . This is the classroom.

The kids can start right away.

Education is more necessary to them than food.

I've brought you four wonderful students.

Here's the paper.

Thanks. . but the school is getting very crowded.

Praise the Lord. . thank God for that.

This teacher is truly kind.

A hard worker.

You're kind. . thank you.

So, I'll leave these students with you.

These are old newspapers again.

Abdolkarim, what's the difference? Just read it for fun.

Let's go, my dear. . let's go.

Bye for now.

- I need to talk to you, Captain. - OK, fine.

- It's important. - Do come and see me.

I'll come to see you.

- It's important. I have to see you. - OK, fine.

Can you read or write?

How about you?

How about you?

What about you?

I need to speak to Private Mohammad.

Yes, his wife wants to speak to him.

Hi, Mohammad, how are you?

Hold on, hold on.

Hi. . how are you?

She's fine too. . I'm holding her.

Your mom's fine too. Everyone says hello.

I've got you some dates.

When are you coming?

The Captain looks after us.

OK. . OK. . I'm waiting for you.

Bye.

Thank you.

- Should I put it on your account? - Yes.

Next.

Dial this number for me.

Make up your mind.

I only have this one room.

It belonged to a guy who used to work here.

He made good money, set up his own house.

Now he's living a comfortable life.

- Here you go. . this is it. - Thank you.

I'll have them give you a large carton,

so you can make a divider.

Clean it up, put a carpet here

and live a lifetime of comfort.

Hello there.

How are you?

Here are your new neighbors.

They can give you anything you need for the cleaning.

They're good people, they look out for each other.
