Keep on stretching.

Relax, and stretch again.

Don't lock your elbows.

Now to the side.

NUMB

Are you ready?

Bring them in.

- Is everyone here? - Yes.

Come on in kids.

- Hooray! Let's go! TV show! - Calm down sweetheart.

Kids! Be polite in front of the TV cameras.

Stop pushing each other.

Where was my spot?

Here?

You were sitting here.

- Roham, I found you a seat. - Thanks.

Good job. Thanks.

Let's clap for him. He sang so well!

If you push back your scarf he'll take you off stage.

Is anyone left outside? Are all the children inside?

Ready, start the countdown.

- Hi kids! - Hi!

Hello to the kids at home!

Say hello to the kids at home!

Hi!

We've come to a nice kindergarten today,

with lots of smart kids.

We have a bunch of questions and a bunch of prizes!

So, tell me, here is the first question:

Which is heavier? A kilo of steel or a kilo of cotton wool?

Steel! Steel!

Wait a second! Yes?

They weigh the same.

Well done!

Let's clap for him!

Good job!

Everyone listen to me!

What is a woman's ornament?

Necklace!

Gold! Gold!

Necklace!

Wait a second! Yes?

Hijab.

Well done! Everyone clap for him! Good!

Who can sing me a song?

I've prepared one!

- Okay, ready? - Yes.

Shake it, shake it

Move it, move it

Thanks. Good job.

He probably helps his dad move furniture around the home.

Now, we'll all watch a cartoon together!

Roham, I told you to wait until you're called.

And to raise your hand instead of shouting!

I didn't shout and I wasn't naughty.

Ms. Moradi? You should teach the children some religious songs.

Why?

Are you joking? That was a big blunder out there.

It was the TV host's fault.

I had already told him which kids to pick.

Atash, come here a second.

- Yes? - Sing him the song you had prepared.

Okay.

This poem by Master Shahriar is dedicated to you.

Heidar Baba, this is a false world.

A world left from the time of Solomon and Noah.

It gives you children and causes you pain.

And ultimately takes back all that it gives.

All that is left of Plato is a name.

Well done. Tell me, do you know any others?

Yes.

When you're in love, buddy, God better have your back.

And cure your suffering and pain Is this one by Shahriar too?

No. It's by Ibrahim Tatlises.

Ms. Moradi! We have a contract.

But I think you need to have a religious advisor help you

instruct the kids so we can continue working with you.

Goodbye for now.

Will you come over to my house for a play date?

No, My brother is waiting for me at home.

And I will be on the set tomorrow.

Do you know why I don't have a brother?

I hadn't thought of it before.

Do you know where I can find one?

I'll ask for you.

If you touch my things one more time...

Adrian wait... Wait.

What's going on here kids?

I want to change.

Let me help you.

I can do it myself.

It's dirty in there. Your clothes will get dirty.

My mom says no one should see my body.

Your mom meant men. I am allowed.

She said no one.

Okay, I'll wait for you right here.

The kind angel heard the sound and came down.

The sound was from the little boy's toothbrush.

He hadn't brushed his teeth for a few nights.

The toothbrush said the boy's brother uses

the toothbrush, but the boy doesn't.

- The little boy had a brother? - Yes.

She said I will help you...

How did he have a brother?

His mother gave birth to him.

Listen to the story now...

Where do babies come from?

We will learn everything when we grow up.

But instead of being like grownups now,

we should play, have fun, be naughty...

But you never let us be naughty!

Hello.

How are you? Come in.

Kids, this man is going to tell us some nice stories.

Let's be quiet and listen to his story.

Hi kids. How are you?

- Fine. - Thanks be to God.

Your family is well, God willing?

Yes, they are. Your family is well too, God willing?

Thanks.

I want to tell you an interesting story today.

The story of two Muslim youngsters.

What does youngster mean?

It means kid, child. Repeat after me:

Kid!

Youngster!

Child!

Teach children about religion when they are young,

so that deviant ideas don't take root within them.

Sir?

Yes my son?

Do you know where babies come from?

Oh my God! Yes, I do my son.

The Holy Mary prayed to God and went to bed.

And God gave her Jesus Christ. Prayer.

When you pray, you have a baby.

So what do I have to do if I want a brother?

You have to tell your mom and dad to get married.

Isn't that right?

If they didn't marry they couldn't even live with each other.

- Aren't they married already? - Yes, they are.

You have to tell them to pray so you can get a brother.

How should they pray?

They know how, because they already had you.

You just have to ask them.

The same way you ask when you want a remote control car.

Can you pray for them?

Of course not!

God will only accept the prayers of mom and dad, not anyone else's.

But God listens to children's prayers more.

That's true. He does listen to children's prayers more.

But not in this particular case. Only the mom and dad's.

Where is God?

God is in the skies.

But my mom said God is in our hearts.

He is in our hearts too.

God is closer to us than the arteries in our necks.

It means God is closer to us than the veins in our necks.

Mom!

Hey guys!

You guys are out here?!

How is the prayer for a brother?

- What, not how. - Aren't you going to say hello first?

Hi.

Come over here.

Hamraz can play with her brother when she goes home,

but all I can do is stare at the walls.

Come here.

What is it?

Did you hear that?

- It's my brother? - No, it's your sister.

I want a brother!

She'll get sad.

Wouldn't it be nice to have someone like Hamraz?

- Will she hear me if I talk to her? - Yes.

- What did you tell her? - Something.

- What? Do you love her? - Yes.

- Can I listen too? - Yes.

There's no sound.

How many months is it?

She's sleeping now.

My brother used to kick when he was in my mom's belly.

Okay, let's go.
