( Don’t cry, any more
Don’t fall in love, any more
The failed , My crazy heart .
With your old sorrow
In the tomb of my chest

From her world , My crazy heart

Oh . My crazy heart . )

She was happy…!

Didn’t you want her to be happy?
So she was…she was happy…!

You are a man with an Iron will…
Page 22

Don’t you love me …?Yes … you do love me..
Page 23
Hello my dearest..

Here …talk to Nazi . She is pulling the phone .
My dear Dad …Hello…!
Hello…Are you well…?
I miss you Dad….
You left just this morning..
But it seems so long to me
Dad what did you have for lunch…?
Page24
For lunch ? 2 full dishes of rice and Kebab
Dad, please serve yourself well
My kind dughter,
You left your pink bear behind…
Oh… I looked for it everywhere…
So talk to her ...
Hello, My dear Nazi
I told your Dad to send me to you with your cassettes,
So we would sing together…
This is a long distance call,. enough now..
Page 25
Hamed , it is a long distance call..
But I love you so much…
Me too…!
Me too…what..?
Hamed…I can’t say it here !
If you can’t say there,… I can say here
I love you ..! I love you….! My love…!
Ok…bad boy. you know
- I cant talk here freely, but you insist ..
How is Nazi ?
Page 26
Hamed enough now . mind the telephone bill.
Never mind just talk . I want hear your voice..
Aziz…what would you like for dinner ..?
What would you like for dinner…?
Oh. stupid me . Aziz has brought dinner for me
Beef and chips, dulma , jam ...
Thanks a lot
Page 27
Yes …I am your son . But not a child anymore.
No you aren’t a kid,..you have grown up
As a giant, as a big donkey.A unique one of course..!
You came all this way to tell me this ?
On phone you pretended to be happy .
I am not your mother, if I don`t know how you feel
Through your voice
Hamed , where is your family? Where is the love you offered her ?
Where is your Nazi ?
Hamed , you regress to 10 years ago, you have nothing now
Hamed, Where is your sweat heart ?
You have lost everything.. Lost your youth .
The child’s future …!The child’s future…!
Are there any happiness pills for kids?
Is it fair that a child grow up without her father ?
Page 28
Why are you so stupid?
Why considering me so stupid?
Mother, you shouldn’t suffer
The child’s future should be considered
You mean all the children here, are futureless?
Their fathers have job, and salary.
Not like me,living in the uncle`house.
Zero income, Zero saving.
Hamed ! was your job bad?Was your income low?
It is an Islamic country, with Muslim employees.
I took after my father.
Yes, but why not taking after me in practicing religion ?
Not doing pray!why doing fun !why drinking wine!
All were excuses to threw me out
Why did you give them the excuse ?
To not give them excuse ,
You should act as somebody else .
Page 29
A non-religious specialist must stay at home,
So a religious brother gets a raise.
Hamed, if you had your job, Mahnaz wouldn’t leave you ?
I couldn’t sleep…so I thought …the pills
I put them back in the fridge
Page 30
Mother would you like tea ?
Don’t fill yourself with breakfast, lunch is ready
Mahnaz, is not the first woman who left this country
Mahnaz left this house , not this country
Ok.when your house is not your own,
There is no personal freedom, the police, the guards…
The guards can break the branches . Not the roots
Page 31
But many roots, are destroyed..
What about your wife ?
These kinds of tortures made her leave ….
Hamed ! your woman’s heart was not important to any one ,
No one knew about her feelings, not even you.
Now sit down and think to find ,
What was in her heart that you weren’t aware of.
Ok. her heart was not here
So , I was right then, she didn’t leave this country ,
She left this life
When her heart was not here, in this country,
Why she should stay?
To torture herself and others?
Mother!
Yes? ... Yes?
Nothing
She just left this life .
Page32
Is this Mr. Sahaf’s house ?
God damned sahaf. wish he be dead.
Are you his friend or his relative ?
That man destroyed my Paria`s youth and then divorced her.
Paria paid for the house, but law protects men.
He didn’t deserved her.
She is professor of music at art university
But sir who are you, are you his friend ?
No.Few years ago I had a parcel to post,
My uncle asked me to call Mr. Sahaf
I have never seen him either..
What is your name sir?
Page 33
Hamed Ahmadzadeh
Oh Dear Mr. Hamed is it you ?
Do you know me ?
Ofcourse . your uncle has helped us many times
That parcel was sent by Paria’s friend,
That man had no part in it.
I would like to post few cassettes to my daughter.
Please give me your number. I will ask her to call you.
I will call myself.
But, we are vacating the house soon.
Page34
How long was this before Dad’s death
Maybe 6 months or more.
Mother, you are leaving too soon.
I am worried for your sister , I am afraid of her bleeding .
I wish I were pregnant too !
You are, you just need to have an abortion to relieve yourself…!
Page 35
Hamed I wish you would come with me,
I am busy, I can’t.
What work ? you mean doing nothing?
Abortion, it is hard enough
I should tell your uncle to get your job back.
Unemployment leads a man to death.
The heart of a woman is not important for any-one . but for me it is .
You aren’t here . Mahnaz, but I love you.
Page36
Hamed ! your wife is not here now,
Where is she ? what is the time there ?
Look Hamed ! There is no chance of becoming a refugee in Germany.
It is hard in Sweden too, but there are ways.
We have never talked about becoming refugee ! What is the case Mrs. Nahid ?
Look Hamed, don’t be upset, but last night , at the border,
the police arrested Nazi and Mahnaz , They wanted to enter Sweden illegally .
They arrested them and returned them to Germany, now they are in campus.
Hello…! Hamed….! Hello ..!
Yes ! I am listening…
Shall I give you the camp telephone number ?
Page 37
What did you say ?
Why not speak English ? it works .
Yes but if I spoke their language, I may please their sense of nationalism.
Good that you just want to please them !
When a man becomes desperate,…he is desperate…so am I …
Ok. tell me …
Write down….

Don’t forget Bitte…
What does Bitte mean..?
It means please …I beg you…I am miserable..help me..please..
So in this case … very Bitte…
When the situation is bad, you should say Bitte…
Ok…very Bitte then..
Page 39
Hello Hamed
Hi Mansoor..
What is the news ..?
To be honest, Nahid and I struggled to tell you something,
Hamed who is this friend of yours in Sweden…Mr. Sharif…?
Page 41
Hamed I am calling from the camp’s office.
You have the number, please call me.
I need you..... here no one speaks Farsi
…so I can say ..I love you …..I miss you
Now after doing all that you wanted...you call me, because you need me .. ?
Hello good morning…
When did we talked about becoming refugee…?
Hello …
Didn’t we just talked about residency …?
Yes we talked about Nazi and I staying here ..;
To whatever the cost ..in what ever the way…!!
Page 42
The cost and the way is not important to me
You mean that as Nazi’s father I don’t have any authority .
That I am no one…
The cost was 2500 Mark that you paid ,
and I am sorry that I spent it…
And the way ,if I was lucky .
I would calling you from Sweden now …not from the camp…
Look..! Mahnaz ! is Mr Sharif my relative or yours ?
He was your friend wasn’t he ?
He was but not anymore, and you knew it.
I saw him by chance ..
By chance you talked to him several times?
and by chance you went together to parties ?
Hamed ..! please realize what you are saying..!
I had few questions about Sweden, so I asked him…
Does he live in Sweden ?
Page43
Yes, he comes often to Germany for his business.
Is he the ambassador of Sweden ..?
Hamed…have I ever lied to you ?
I am not sure now you haven’t..
as I was very stupid and naive
Ok…!
Pass the phone to Nazi…
She has an interview with the police..
Police ?!... return back to Iran soon.
Return ? I am not your puppet…
No actually I am your puppet …!
We agreed,. and now I am doing all I can to stay…
life in the refugee camp is so hard.
don’t make it harder
Page44
She has made Nazi her own excuse…her own shield…
Yes..!
Mr. Ahmadzadeh..?
Yes..
This is Miss Ferdosi..
Yes please ..?
Paria Ferdosi.
Hello, thank you for the call.
My apologies, regarding my mother, she is short – tempered.
We all like to share our pains with someone else .
I am at your service, what can I do for you ?
Few cassettes don’t have permit , how can I post them ?
they belong to my daughter
Page 45
No worries, I will send one of my students to collect them.
You are so kind, so I shall trouble you for more parcels..
can I have your new phone number please ?
The first digits are the same, we should be neighbors.
We aren’t far.
Mrs Paria, I am as short tempered as your mother.
I have a question that only a woman can reply .
If I may ask, how can you be sure that a woman loves you truly or not ?
Page46
I just can tell you that nothing will happen over a night,
nor love neither hate . it depends on its history..
I love you …why don’t you get it …Oh shut up you miserable,
a man should never think about his wife like that..?
What if, it is true ?
It can’t be more bitter than death ...but it is
Page 47
Yes ?
I came to collect the cassettes on behalf of Mrs. Ferdosi…
Oh please come upstairs..
How fast ..?!
Thank her please. Your name please?
Targol.
Page 48
Nazi, how was swimming ?
Perfect !
How was it for you lady Mahnaz ?
we are not allowed to wear two pieces swimming suit in the ladies pool
Hello . Please send 1 pizza for me, and 2 to the house right behind mine.
It is the 8th street. Number 6, 2nd floor. Mrs Ferdosi
Page49
In the ladies pool they had a poster saying : please follow the Islamic rules.
I am a woman but not free even in front of other woman,
a sister guard standing there objecting everyone all the time.
We really pay back all the joy through our nose.
On the tissue ?
Don’t be silly ! I wish I could make a film from this pools ...
it would really help..
Help what ?
One day , It would become helpful ..!
Page50
Please sing my favorite song
Hamed, stop it , I am not in the mood.
Sing for those days that you are gone,
when I will miss you.
(I went with you and return without you my crazy heart .)
Ok…
why are you crying? For me ?
If it is for me, you shouldn’t leave .
Or maybe you feel guilty
for living with a man you have never loved.
Or may be since Mr. Sharif…
Page 51
Oh ..with whom shall I share these thoughts…
Did you send Mrs Ferdosi’s food ?
I guess the address was wrong
How ?
When I rang, first an old lady said it is a correct address,
I said I brought food from the restaurant.
Then a young woman answered ,
she said it is a wrong address,
By sending some food , I just wanted to thank you some how…
Page 52
That’s all..
Dinner ! I don’t understand …!
I can see your class .
Don’t say you can see me too ?
I don’t know you..
That house belongs to miss Targol ,one of my students.
Really !?
Really, and you are not a monster either.
I was sure; so I sent you some food.
Thank you. But after all I wouldn’t accept your food.
Miss Paria I am not a junky, you see , I am married , and I love ..
And you love your wife, it is very clear…
How is it clear ?
As you are telling another woman about it.
I just want to talk to you ……..
Page 53
I am a broken - heart woman
That is why I need to talk to you…you are experienced .
what you told me earlier made me look into my past again.
Just be careful not to sink into your past, and remember your wounds are your investment,
Don’t share your investment with everyone don’t complain but bear them..
Oh god why ?
I never was so close to you to complain.
Nor so far.. I always thought you approve the way I lived..…
Tell me what I did that you disapproved?
Page54
It is new year…
I am sure you have some money…
I don’t ,but I guess new year - singers has some
Don’t makd fun ,
I need money for my child.
I need money too;
I will pay half of it in now and the rest in 2 month by cheque.
When will you send somebody to collect it ?
When can I ?
I am at home..always.
I knew something is missing…
Oh…no…
Page 55
(My violine is very nice . when I play it , it sounds : lala : la la la my white horse is very nice , when I ride it sounds : P.T.Q;P.T.Q . my small gun is very nice . when I shoot, it sounds : bang , bang .)
My Dad is very ugly ...
No he is very handsome..and I wear glasses just like him.
Page 56
Happy new year mother
Happy new year, I wish you a very happy and better year.
Won’t you visit us?
I will, but now I need to be alone
Ok
Are you all well ?
If you are well, we are well too..
Hello my brother, happy new year, my child now goes to school,but she hasn’t
seen her uncle yet …
Won’t you come to see us sometimes…
Page 57
Hello Hamed
Happy new year,
Did you get the money?
Yes , I really owe you a lot..
I will send you more after the holiday..
That means I can go all the way..?
You are gone all the way already, you can finish it….
I don’t want to chain you…can I talk to Nazi ?
Don’t you want to talk to me a bit more?
Are you Ok ?
I will be Ok, if you are Ok…
Ok …let me talk to Nazi…
Wait a minute ..I go to call her…
