[People of the Wind]
It's boiling hot outside.
Did you light the stove?
I took it out of storage at noon.
I'm going to fix it.
We have to use it now.
This is your share of sacrificial meat.
I'm cold.
Stay here longer tonight.
Tomorrow's holiday. It's only me.
Stay and finish these two heaps, Then go.
They're not going to pay?
They are.
If they pay you soon, They can't make you stay near holidays.
You want to go to your warm And cozy bed, right?
You stay,
I'm going to take care of it for you tomorrow.
Come on, stay.
Look after that, too.
Dogs here are hungrier than you.
Fill the tank and come here quickly.
Don't take it so long. If someone come, I'll be damned.
Three, four or maybe more.
Hello?
Yes?
Hi.
- Where are you, then? - I'm coming.
- I made dinner. - Okay, I'll be there.
My work's taking a little longer.
When are you going to come?
I'm going to come with Hassan Ali.
Yes, I know.
Who told you?
You called a few minutes ago, And told me.
Are you alright?
I had so much work.
I got a little bit confused.
Hurry up, someone's going to come now.
Ha!
You're so lucky, Saber.
So lucky!
What are you doing? It fell!
Pull over.
It's not broken, right?
No, it's alright.
I'll be back.
Hassan Ali!
Ha-ha!
Shut up!
You, jerk! Go!
What are you looking for?
Hammer.
Turn it off!
Silkworms are going to die.
No need for hammer or any tools.
Hassan Ali, where the hell are you? Come on, help me.
Atri?
- Did you find it? - Yes, here.
What are these, ha?
You must pick these up and dry them, Early in spring.
Otherwise, there's no use.
Keep it down.
What are these good for?
Two of these, are mine.
You choose the other two,
And choose now,
So, you don't renege later.
This is treasure, no kidding.
Why two?
Saber has found them. One is more than enough for you.
Is it?
​Poor me, found this job for Saber!
Right, Saber?
Didn't I tell you to go work for that building?
I swear, this Hava area is full of hidden treasures.
A couple of years ago,
An old man with his son,
While searching for treasures,
They'd got lost in the mountains.
They'd found a basement full of gold!
Then, the Guardian of treasure came for them.
They were found dead in the middle of the mountains,
They hung themselves.
What's the Guardian?
I said, what's the Guardian?
What's the Guardian?
Protector.
There's no treasure without a protector.
Once you dig it out, It's done.
Although, I think its Guardian was kind.
It took pity of our empty hands and kind hearts.
These two are mine.
Or those two are mine. What's the difference?
Two is too much for you.
I'll give you one. Only because you bring them here.
Don't be mean, woman.
Your husband doesn't even say anything.
If my car hadn't been there,
How would you bring them here?
I speak for my husband. Right, Saber?
Have you seen these?
Oh, Saber. We can't wait!
Open them up to see what's inside.
Hassan Ali, come for help.
Gently, gently.
Move over! Move over!
Turn it.
Doesn't it open?
It's hard like stone.
Go and bring the sledge.
Saber, don't break the jar.
This, itself, is precious.
Saber, open it already!
Saber, you did open it!
Saber, it's open!
You did it, Saber!
Move over.
What is it?
It's all dirt and bones.
Is it human?
Yes.
This is the head.
Obviously, it's human.
So, why did they put them in clay jars?
- Is it some kind of tradition? - Maybe.
Open others, too. To see what's in them.
It's all bones.
Atri,
Bring couple of sacks to gather them.
- Me? - Yeah.
I won't come downstairs. I'm scared.
Get up, now. Why did you seat?
Didn't you want your share? Come on, gather your share.
They killed them, don't they?
No way. Why would they?
If they hadn't killed them, why would they put them in jars?
I'm scared. Take them outside, sooner.
You made a mess here, too.
We have to bury them.
Ha?
It's a guilt, Saber.
Dead must not stay on the ground.
I'm not in the mood, now.
We're going to gather them, Put them in the truck.
Go back where we found them, Throw them there.
We can't do that، Saber.
What if someone sees us on the road?
A truck full of bones.
Then, we're going to take them behind the house and bury them.
Come on, gather them. I help, too.
We're going to bury them right outside the fence.
I'm exhausted.
After all these struggles,
We got nothing.
If it was treasure, we'd be surprised.
Go, gather them.
Ah...
I feel sick, Atri.
Atri, don't be scared. Come down.
I'll gather them, myself.
Atri?
Atri, are you crying?
Don't be scared. I'll take them out now.
I've seen this before.
Sometimes, it happens.
Perhaps, you've dreamed it.
Not exactly this.
I've seen dead body's bones.
I remembered that.
When?
When I was dying.
When they put me in the grave.
It took one whole night until you arrived.
Some bones had gotten exposed right in front of me.
How nice that you arrived.
Do you remember?
I'm cold.
I'm going to turn off the fan.
But you're sweating.
I don't know, I'm cold or hot...
I'm not alright.
Why did you come so late, Saber?
Where were you?
Saber?
Saber, come on down now!
You don't want to sleep while the dead are in your house.
Don't stay here, you'll be sick.
Come downstairs.
What the hell are you doing?
Digging a grave.
Don't.
I don't want four dead bodies that I don't know, be buried under my house.
Don't do this, Saber.
This isn't your house, anymore. It's outside the fence.
And do you think there are no dead bodies under your house?
No.
There are.
There are lots of dead bodies under your house.
There are lots of dead bodies under anyone's house.
Everywhere in the world, There are lots of dead bodies under the ground.
Let it go. Atri's going to be afraid.
Don't be afraid, Saber.
Come on, dig it up.
Come on.
You opened them up, You have to bury them, too.
It's bad to dig up the dead.
Atri!
Atri?
Atri!
A... group of jackals had attacked our hen.
I... wanted to save her,
I wanted to pull her out of their mouths...
I couldn't.
Which hen?
The russet one.
The one that I had raised myself.
Don't you remember?
I don't know why jackals came this close tonight.
Go wash your face. It's bloody.
What's this filth you're holding?
Where were you, Saber?
Right back there, with Hassan Ali.
Why did you come so late?
It took eight years.
Are you okay, Atri?
Slow down.
Come this way!
Yes?
It takes a little work. It's not that easy.
It takes time.
It needs equipment.
It's so cold in here.
What do you want?
Our car has broken. Would you help us?
Can I... light this up?
So sorry.
For bothering you.
It's so dark around here.
Didn't the road a bit lighter before?
Before, there was a sawmill here. When it got closed, its electricity goes, too.
I thought so.
Otherwise, you can't get lost on this road.
Did you get lost? Or did your car get broken?
Both.
Don't you have oil?
I don't know.
Where were you heading?
Some place like a hospital.
There's no hospital around here.
That man said there is.
Who? Hassan Ali?
Hassan Ali?
Hassan Ali, where are you?
Do you have a wife?
- Yes. Why? - Tell her you have guests.
She might be upset seeing us all of a sudden.
Atri?
What are you two talking about?
Who are they downstairs?
Why don't you come downstairs?
Why don't you come upstairs? We called you so many times.
You don't let go of down there.
When did you call me?
Did you become deaf, Saber?
They're strangers. I'm afraid they have come for the treasure!
What treasure?
You seem to believe we really found a treasure.
Come on down. They're going to break everything.
And you fix their car so they go sooner.
Saber?
Let's figure out what to do with these poor things.
Then, they don't find anything, either.
Why did you bring them up here?
Now, I have to leave them alone to bury bones?
I didn't bring them here.
They came by themselves.
Is there a hospital around here?
Yes.
That old building.
It became a hospital, ages ago.
Go fix their car, so they go sooner.
Ow!
Hi.
Do you have oil?
No.
Do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry.
Not much.
There's nothing here, either. No...
The big difference between youth and oldness is,
In youth, there's life ahead of you. But in oldness, there's just death.
So, there's bread, right?
Youth have a short history and a long future,
Oldness is the opposite.
When you're old, there's just death.
When you're young, life is ahead of you
Now,
The big question is...
Which one's better?
Someone has a life behind,
Or life is in front of them.
Excuse me, I need a few minutes of your time.
I'm Maryam.
Nice to meet you.
Perhaps, you're wondering why they are like this,
Or is something wrong with them?
If you get caught with an illness, whether you want it or not,
You will change somehow.
I was a nurse at that hospital.
I mean, I still am.
We were picking up some patients, We got lost.
Where are the patients, now?
Here they are.
If you can, fix our car. We are going to find the way, anyway.
We don't know how.
We don't have the tools, either.
Why are you lying?
Here, you can find anything.
Wrench 14, wrench 15, 17,
Ring spanner, wheel wrench.
Look.
They hide their meat, and give only bread to their guests.
I'm going to cook Kale for you,
Eat and get strong.
Cool! Kale Pache!
- What is she saying? - What did she say?
She said, you hide everything.
Now, she is going to cook it, to eat together.
Eyes for you, brains for me.
I'm starving. How long does it take?
The more you're hungry, the longer it takes.
Could you be a little full, so it takes less time?
Here, eat this trash for now.
It tastes like feet.
Eat it for now, Kale will be ready.
I love face meat.
Do you like eyes, right?
Eat them. They're good for you.
The strength will be back to your eyes, so you can hide things better.
Who would hide four jars of gold under four blankets?
Sorry. I forgot to introduce myself.
It's very nice to meet you.
I'm Ajuda.
I'm going to fix your car. Are you going to get the hell out of here?
We did say this from the beginning.
Saber?
Come here, I need to tell you something.
Thank you very much.
If you eat this, there will be nothing left for us.
Only with small truths, you can tell big lies.
So, let it go.
- Where are the onions? - When do we start, then?
Saber?
What do you do with all these clothes?
Every day, you wear a different one for him. right?
I'm prettier than you.
They say, Love is consciousness.
I agree, with "consciousness", you're halfway there.
But the problem begins from 50+1.
You think I live my whole life with one person,
As a doctor's prescription.
Where are you, leaving me alone with them?
Let them eat anything they want and be gone.
They know about jars, too.
So, they do.
Don't be scared.
Hassan Ali's going to fix their car, and they get the hell out of here.
I'm not alright.
I don't know what the hell is wrong with me?
I can't remember anything.
I'm freezing cold.
But you have a fever.
Since when haven't I slept?
Nothing's wrong with you.
You're just a little tired.
After they're gone...
The onion is too strong...
Moti, don't you think the view behind me is so beautiful?
Nature is really charming. Makes you feel good.
I guess that's hollyhock, right?
How beautiful this image is.
What's wrong with you?
You killed the mood for no reason.
With all these nonsense.
Yay! Kale Pache.
It's ready already!
Where's my heart?
You took it for yourself. Remember?
Why is Hassan Ali taking so long?
Why do we even have to fix their car?
Hassan Ali?
Get up and go fix your car!
You go.
These two are messed up,
They can't do anything.
No, don't go!
If I were you,
I wouldn't leave my pretty wife alone with these boars!
Don't get them wrong,
They speak of philosophy and art,
But no one's wilder than them.
Where are you going?
I'm going to bring a blanket.
I'm falling asleep, middle of the story.
Everyone's calling me, "Daye".
You call me that, too.
Let me see your palm.
Come and seat here, I'm going to tell you a story.
What story?
