Butterfly Stroke (Shena-ye Parvaneh)

Don't cry, mum tell me what's happened

Hello? Talk to me

- Mum? - Hang up!

Are you kidding me? You said it wouldn't need paint

I told you it wouldn't be like the first day

It needed paint I can't mend it by spitting on it!

You were clumsy or you could do it!

- I'm sorry! - Be sorry!

Parvaneh? What's this film? How it's gone viral?

I don't know

Hashem's gone to the swimming pool he may hurt people

I don't understand you, sit down

Who could take a mobile into the damn swimming pool?

I don't know, by God I don't!

Drink it

There were so many women there how they recorded you only?

I have no idea...

Drink it

Let's go and stop Hashem he is sick

He'll make trouble and we'll regret it all his life

Stay here, I'll bring him

I didn't come here so you treat me like others

Parvaneh! No one thinks you're at fault all I'm saying is that he is angry right now

I'm his wife, not his enemy! What should I run away from?

- Okay, but you can't come now - What do you mean?

The innocent won't run away, Hojjat

If they'd recorded your own wife in a women's swimming pool

it went viral, and your wife ran away what would you think about her?

Help us, God!

Why they don't move?

Let's walk the rest

Dear God

Run, run!

Hashem?

Hashem!

Hashem?

Bastard

Hashem! Hashem!

Bastard

Hashem! Hashem! Look at me!

- Don't do this, my son is scared - Shut up

Hashem!

- Aren't you the owner of this place? - Hashem!

- Who recorded the film? - Listen to me

Who recorded the film?

There's always a guard here

So your mother recorded the film here? Come out!

Please don't Parvaneh is at the door!

I swear she is

Bastards

Go out!

Back off!

Go!

What have you done, Parvaneh?

What you did!

What have I done, dear?

My fault is I taught swimming to some children

You disgraced me

Don't say that, Hashem for God's sake, don't!

When you say that I feel I don't have anybody

All our troubles are because of this neighbourhood

You were lucky you left and you're living peacefully now

We'll move from this neighbourhood too, don't we?

Yes, mum?

Why do you keep calling?

Yes, they're both with me

I don't know anything

They're with me here!

What can I tell him? Mum?

Hello, father

Nothing's happened to anybody

Hashem! Hashem!

Hashem! Hashem! Hashem!

Hashem!

Hashem! Hashem! What did you do?

Give that to me!

Fill in the form and send the body to Forensics

The car will be impounded don't leave the town

Do you want water?

You didn't want bad for them

How could you know Hashem would do this?

Don't blame yourself for everything

Hashem had calmed down

He had, Afsaneh!

By God he'd calmed down!

But I was so clumsy...

Get up, darling, let's go in

Calm down your mother I can't soothe her

My God!

Who can I calm down?

I made a mistake I took Parvaneh there

She wanted to go there but I shouldn't have accepted

Go in

Go, I come now

Did you see?

Your brother bashed my teeth but I didn't say anything because I respect you

It's a hit-and-run world! You'll be hit if you don't hit!

Poor Parvaneh!

Do you understand our situation? Do you understand anything?

Hojjat!

Where's Parvaneh?

Where's Hashem?

Someone help me!

My Hashem is dishonoured!

You don't let me visit Parvaneh's family at least take me to visit Hashem

Stop blabbering!

You want to thank Hashem or congratulate Ahmad we killed their daughter?

I begged Parvaneh not to stay here not to be before Hashem's eyes

What was Parvaneh's fault, mum?

I told her not to work in the swimming pool, but she didn't listen

Many women work there, Parvaneh was unfortunate she was recorded

Parvaneh wasn't unfortunate

We made her unfortunate by marrying her off to that wolf!

Everybody knows Hashem adored Parvaneh

My son was enraged he couldn't control herself

Don't say that!

Say that to your brother who took him to his drinking bouts since he was 7

Then yelling in the neighbourhood to show he was his nephew

Shut your gob! You only nag when there's trouble, oaf!

I could control this one but not that gorilla?

They're living decently but what about Hashem?

He was happy he was the top bully in the neighbourhood...

and everybody was afraid of him

Now he's deep in shit!

- It can't be done without a lawyer - But it can without a baby!

I'll come up with the money again

How? My surgery is next month

What should I do?

Forget my brother and pay the money to have a baby?

You could get one of the lawyers the court provides

They don't do anything

At least you could tell me you were emptying our account

I told you now

- Hashem doesn't have money? - What are you saying?

I'm ashamed to tell him to pay for the lawyer

After all he did for us? I was in jail for five years and looked after us

Now it's time to make up

Poor Parvaneh will come back to life if Hashem comes out?

Hojjat! Look at me

Thank you

It's good

You said Hashem's psychosis would be proven with his medical record

Forensics report and the crime scene report say it was sudden anger, not psychosis

I've got his medical record for service exemption

local petition for his recurrent psychosis

but I don't know why they don't affect the court's ruling

So what? What's gonna happen?

You must convince the victim's next of kin to withdraw their complaint

Wait here, I have to fill out a form I'll be right back

So you couldn't do anything, right?

Drink this

- It's a little - No!

My son! I love you, son!

Please, Mr Ahmad!

Don't do this!

Please, I'm begging you forgive him

I want to talk to him!

Mr Ahmad!

I swear you by Parvaneh's soul! Wait a second

I wasn't myself that night

Parvaneh wasn't my wife only she was my life

You know me

Everybody bowed to me in that neighbourhood

And I bowed to Parvaneh at home I treated her most tenderly

Those bastards found out she was my root they cut my root

I don't know who did it I'll kill him if I find him

I've never been so desperate

I don't want you to take back your complaint I'll be relieved when you hang me

- I want you to only forgive me - Move

I couldn't bear a town watching my wife naked

I couldn't!

- Move - Move, sir

I don't want anything from you but to forgive me

- Move - Move, sir

Please forgive me

- Move - Move, sir

I called the electricity department it'll be connected in half an hour

Come eat, mom

Don't upset yourself

Come, mum

Come, dad

Come, dad

- Dad, you said you liked herbs stew - Don't cry, mum

Not all who get death penalty are hanged don't upset yourself

I'm not dead I'll follow his case

Mr Ahmad will hopefully get back his complaint too

Come eat

Mr Ahmad!

If you don't open the door today I won't go anywhere

I'm upset with Hashem like you

I swear by Parvaneh's soul if it wasn't for her grieving mother

I'd never come here

We've known each other for 40 years

By God I haven't come here so you take back your complaint

Hello

Why have you come, then? To rub it in?

I came to say I'm sorry I didn't look after your daughter well

No, you didn't none of you did!

If you had a grain of Parvaneh's kindness to you, it wouldn't have come to this

- By God we had it - No, you didn't!
