"Hello, how are you?" " Fine." "Where's Mom?" " Hello, son!" "How lovely to see you." "I was happy you finished school." "Why did you pick this job?" "Mom!" "This is for my internship." "It is useful for people." "Wasn't it enough that we lost your dad in this job?" "Eat your dinner, brother!" "But Mom is upset." "I love you son, eat your food!" "Hey, bring some tea over here." " At your service, Mr. Mojerloo." "Here's fresh tea." "Hello!" "Bring some lemons!" "I'll have you insured." "Ok?" "Hi!" "You'll get the stops tomorrow." "Ok?" "Ok." "I need three technicians for the Galugah power line." "I'll come." "Who's coming?" "The route is to heaven." "Who's coming?" "Mojerloo!" "If you raise the pay, more men will come." "No way." "Everything is calculated." "The power line is close to the city." "I have Saman." "I need two linemen, one for the overhead and one to work down." "Who needs a job?" "Sir!" "I said I'll come." "Emran?" "Down or up?" "Ok, down." "No, I already worked on lower sections." "I want up." "Be careful not to fall!" "Sir!" "I can cook and I can carry iron beams to the base, but I want Sistan power line's pay." "But Sistan..." "But I'll be working two jobs, Sir!" "Ok." "Morteza too." "Mojerloo!" "Since the line isn't too far, I won't bargain over the pay, I'll come." "Early tomorrow morning all be ready to start work." "You go ahead!" "I'll catch up." "Ok." "Hello." "Hello." "The rug is turning out so beautifully." "Here's Saman." " Hello to all!" "Hello!" "Fereydoon!" "Sit here!" "I study high-voltage electrical power." "What sizearm should be used on this plan?" "The last corner piece had a different size." "Are we all set, Mr. Mojerloo?" " Yes, we'll leave tomorrow morning." "Who's the second lineman?" " Emran is your co-worker." "How are you?" "Welcome to the group." "Fereydoon is with us too." "Rostam!" "Ask him to stop." "I want to visit my dad's gravesite." "Why not?" "Stop, Mojerloo!" "Let's visit out senior linemen's graves." "Thank you." "Now let go." "Be careful!" "Loosen up the wires!" "That's enough." "Go up!" "Be careful." "Enough." "Come up!" "Go up, Feyredoon!" "Next one." "I'll fasten this." "You go up help them!" "Be careful!" "Use your left hand!" "Do I have it right?" "You have it upside down." "Don't let go!" "Turn it the other way!" "Good." "Be careful." "Good job, Jabar." "Here are bolts." "Morteza!" "Couldn't you have cooked the peas last night to save time?" "Oh what wonderful lunch we got." "Give it, Morteza!" "Look how he eats." "He ate little meals in college but now indulges in beef stew." "I never had such good stew before." " Thanks for the compliment." "So, tell me what's your plan doing this job?" "I have to work in different areas for my internship." "Bravo." "So what?" "He wants to write his experiences from this job." "He has to fill his notebooks." "Push it!" "Put a stone under it!" "Push!" "So it won't slide back." "Good job, guys." "Have some acorn you little squirrel!" "Oh God!" "I was almost falling." "This tower is done." "This side is finished too." "(song) The black tailed crow caws and informs the city." "What nice water." "Can we swim, Mojerloo?" "We have no baths there." "Let's just bathe here." "Ok." "Go ahead." "Head under water!" "Push his head into the water!" "Yes, down!" "I told you many times, tie one on the left and one on the right." "Another threat to Earth these days involves droughts and uncontrollable floods." "Worry over these conditions brings new challenges for world community." "Are the plates ready?" " Yes." "What are you listening to?" " News." "What are they saying?" "Social issues and disputes, war, politics, economy..." "That we'll have a billion hungry people by 2012." "That's some figure, Saman." "What are we then?" "Third world or fourth?" "Something like that." "1/5, 2/5 or 2.75 billion or what?" "Give it to me." "Go up, guys!" "Go up, Saman!" "Should I go up too?" "Yes, go up." "Prepare the plates for cross-arms!" "Mojerloo!" "Watch for the plan not to blow away." "World organizations have asked the youths and researchers to study the condition of natural resources, plant species, water and soil." "Go on up and I'll give you the plates." "Floods, drought and damage to plant and animal species are in most cases preventable." "Get a few wrenches, Rostam!" "The guys need tools up there." "By implementing cultural research, there is hope that nature destruction can be controlled." "One corner piece is missing here." "Some kebab it will be." " What is it?" "A pheasant." " It's tomorrow's lunch." "Guys!" "Look what Morteza got." " Don't kill nature." "It's a sin." "I worked hard to set up a trap." "Wait till you eat the pheasant stew and you'll thank me." "It's a sin." "Let it go." "No, Emran." "Don't let it go!" "Wait, Emran!" "What's going on?" "Get back to work!" "Emran!" "Where are you taking it?" "Wait, Emran!" "Firmly..." "Squeeze it!" "I'll tell you a story but don't get scared." "Say it!" "We were setting up pylons in Kashan." "A power line with 93 pylons." "I was with my cousin." "We were hanging onto the cables with our soles." "A lightning struck." "My cousin got so scared that his hands slipped." "He had no belt." "He fell down." "God bless his soul." "He's got a 4 year old kid." "Since then I always fasten my belt." "Good thing." "Firmly..." "Yes, good." "Get up, guys!" "Get up!" "Morteza!" "Get the tea ready!" "Hi!" "Get up, Yadi!" "The earth is humid." "It makes you think you had little sleep." "Faster, Morteza..." "Get up, Emran!" "Don't shout at them!" "They're not slaves." "Watch your steps!" "Walk slowly!" "Slowly..." "It'll fall." "Did you tell him?" "I will know." "It is good, needs a wrench now." "Say it, Rostam!" "This town isn't far from the city." "I miss my family." "Just give us a day off." "Let's enjoy life." "Did you hear that?" "Pick up these bolts!" "Guys!" "Linemen's Land Cruiser is so cool." "I'll become a lineman when I grow up." " How nice." "What are you here for?" "To cut extra saplings and plant in our school garden." "We're metal men and they're tree guys." "Are you a sheep to chew grass?" "Are you comfortable, Mojerloo?" " Yes." "What about you?" "Hope you'll have a comfortable afterlife too!" "Such magical hands." "What a pretty pattern." "It is a 'Marigol' pattern." "I'll buy it." "Of course I'll just keep it." "It shoudn't be stepped on." "It is for my bride." "What's taking so long buying a rug?" " Quiet!" "He'll hear you." "Don't miss it too much." "You'll see it very soon." "Ok, let me go talk to her." "No, wait till her customers leave." "Mehran!" "Come." "Take this rug." "Thank you." "Hello!" " No, no." "Listen to the lady!" "Saman has excellent taste." "Thanks to this lady's fingers." "With your permisson." "Thanks a lot." "Take care." "Oh, how are you?" "Hi, Saman!" " What are you doing here?" "So Saman - the lineman - bought a rug?" " Don't be funny." "How are you?" "Fine." " What're you doing here?" "That's my mother." "She's talking to her." "Does she want a rug?" "Maybe." "Pretty rugs." "Yes, and I got the prettiest one." "And I will get her too." "I'll see you on the tower tomorrow." "Bye, little one." "Working on power line towers is different every day." "There're no fixed rules." "Sometimes unpredictabe things happen." "Start work!" "Check the cables first!" "Up there keep your eyes wide open." "Don't fall asleep." "We need iron at the base." "Why are you sitting here?" "I heard you're in love." "Girls won't wait until you set up 1000 pylons." "They fall in love several times." "Get up and go there." "Take it to the tractor." "This is tight." "Should I come up?" "Hunting and cutting trees is prohibited." "Tell the others too." "Ok, Sir." "We linemen have certain words that you'd feel with all your heart upon hearing." "I mean, you'd understand what we mean." "So?" " Make it tighter." "So, you're a spoled city guy." "You need to learn other stuff too while doing your homework." "Wait!" "That needs another bolt." " So, what are the words?" "You'll get it." "Pay close attention." "We say words that we stick by a lifetime." "These things are rare in colege." "You have to be among people to get a good grasp like that wrench in your hand." "If you stay with us longer it'll sink in." "Fasten this." "Yes, make it tight." "Come forward!" "Be careful!" "I have you." "Don't be afraid." "You won't fall." "Good." "Turn it with your other hand!" "That's good." "What's going on there?" "Is it a flour factory or a mine?" "That's pylon 68 and 69." "We'll go blind there." "But is there a base around there?" "My balanced eyes say yes." "Hey, how dare you stop work when I'm here?" "Oh, back off!" " Rostam!" "They'll do their job without you too." " How do these pylons get erected then?" "Do you do that?" "They're doing their job and chatting a little." "Fasten that!" "Watch your step!" "Rostam!" "Ask Mojerloo if he's seen the whole power line route or just the start and end?" " He's seen it all." "Has he seen all the bases?" " What do you mean?" "It looks like volcanic dust over there." "A pylon base is probably there." "Not everywhere has bases." "That's his job, he knows." "Go find out what's going on." "Ok, I'm hungry now and have to eat lunch." "Walk there, Mojerloo!" "So I saw every other one." "I don't need to see them all." "Then we'll fasten every other nut." "Won't it collapse on you then?" "Then I'll pay you for every other day." "I can't walk 80 kilometers." "Linemen should erect pylons at every base." "Let's have lunch!" "It's all dust here." "There's no way." "Go back!" "Let's not hit anyone." "I hope the bases aren't in the mine area." "Don't go!" "Turn back!" "He can't see us!" "Turn back!" "Go this way!" "Oh God!" "They're right in the middle of our job." "Dust will prevent us from working." " That's what I was afraid of." "Close the mine for 8 hours and we'll set up the pylon." "What do you mean?" "They won't shut down." "They're complaining about the bases there." "We're lucky if they don't demolish our pylons." "We've set up many tough pylons." "This is one of them." "There're three more left." "Convince them!" "They won't agree, Rostam!" "A lineman sets up pylons." "That's it." "Don't snore here!" "Go to bed!" "Give him some kebab!" "Guys!" "This pylon is finished too." "To the left." "It's falling!" "Run!" "Why don't you tighten the cables?" "Everybody ok down there?" "I set up 3000 pylons in 50 years, but I've never seen it like this." "I set up some tough pylons before." "Sometimes I had to warn the guys that I'd regret if I didn't." "This white hair and experience tell me not to leave room for regrets." "Fereydoon!" "Kiumars!" "You wait too long for each other." "Your muscles get tired." "Try to be tuned with each other." "Tomorrow, you may have to rub your eyes." "Then the ropes or parts may become loose and put all of us in danger." "Emran!" "Saman!" "Keep an eye on each other more often." "Pay attention!" "Tomomow visibility is poor." "Look after each other." "Once a bolt wasn't tight." "The person wanted to grab the corner but he fell." "The next person wanted to save him, but fell too." "You remember Saber and Davood." "Morteza!" "Make some masks of white cloth!" "Wash them well tonight and deliver tomorrow!" "Give everyone hot milk at 10 and 4 o'clock!" "Ok, Sir." "Yadi!" "Don't go under the structure." "I won't either." "There's chance of iron parts falling." "But you!" "We'll wake up while the stars still shine in the sky and leave with our tools to the bases." "We can work for 2 hours before the mine opens." "The bulldozers work on their own." "The compressors have other owners and the mine owner says no pylons there." "So, we won't be working there tomorrow?" "What?" "No pylons?" "You're not familiar with the law on pylons." "For full payments, the powerline route has to be completed." "A lineman leaves no pylon out." "In 2006 in Shalamcheh, we had 6 km of power line in a minefield." "Our men set them up." "This is just one." "Isn't it so, Yadi?" "You remember the war." "But tomorrow, we're not working in a minefield." "Let's be alert and God will help us." "You heard what Rostam said." "End of meeting." "Get off, guys!" "Hammer the nails, fasten the cables, take up the jin-pol." "Hurry, guys!" "Open the ropes!" "This is one of those pylons I told you about." "Today we have to fight." "If we make it, I'll have a word with you on that hill tomorrow." "These men are quite spiteful today." " What're they saying?" "Don't come forward!" "Just keep working!" "You can't work here." "We already told you." "Listen!" "We have permits." "Besides, the base is already concreted." "You can't erect pylons in our work environment." "But people need electricity and industry over there." "What's all the commotion for?" "Get your stuff out and leave!" "Quit talking!" "Let's talk calmly." "Rostam!" "You're the eldest, so talk." "When plans were drawn, the mine was elsewhere." "Now it is here!" "Quit your work!" "We have to start work!" "Stay back!" "Be humans!" "This mountain and forest belongs to everyone." "You guys scrape mountains and we set up pylons in the forest." "This is for the country's advancement." "Let's be wise." "Won't we all die eventually?" "This is our permit." "We'll legally resolve any problems." "Bring a 91!" "Hurry up!" "Here." "Yadi!" "Go bring a 91!" " I brought a 91, Sir." "Look well!" "Your glasses are dusty." "Clean them!" "What's with you two?" "Don't you see our work condition?" "It's his fault." "He's not attentive." "Push the plan aside!" "Yadi!" "Mind your own job!" "Iron is falling down." "Be careful!" "It was almost hitting his head." "Here." "Thanks." "We were lucky." "Morteza!" "Who told you to stand under the pylon?" "You said." "When did I tell you to stand there?" "Just handle your kitchen." "It'll get worse." "They'll get mad at us." "If you were an overhead worker, you would have become a lineman by now, not a cook down here." "Mojerloo!" "I can't." "Up there, Emran works with almost closed eyes and the parts are mishandled." "I brought glasses for you guys to wear." "Dust will settle on the glasses." "Either call it off or talk to them to close down the mine!" "They won't accept." "Get up!" "Get done with this pylon!" "Water faucet is here." "Sir!" "We shut down the mine." "The dust will settle down." "Is it shut down?" " Yes." "Go up!" "You can't imagine the hell I was in yesterday." "It was the worst pylon of my life." "Amidst the dust up there." "It was terrible." "How are you, Fery?" "You're our honor." "You're right whatever you say." "Hi, Saman!" " Saman is going to propose." "Hush!" "Be quiet!" "Be polite." "Gently, greet from behind the door." "Ok, we'll just smile." "It's ok." "I'll wait." "My Mom takes this rug wherever she goes, even on trips." "It's hand-woven from 60 years ago." "My mother made it when she was Molood's age." "I like to use it all the time." "This rug was woven with motherly love and patience." "Natural colors and Iranian design." "Naturally, I like to have it all the time." "The pattern is a "Marigol"." "What? "Marigol"?" ""Marigol" was a woman who loved a man years ago, but he had to leave." "So, Marigol wove a rug in the years she waited for him." "Don't upset yourself!" "I'll ask the stores around." "I'll go this way to ask." "Don't you think it is a dangerous job?" "Of course it is, especially for overhead linemen." "I've heard stories from linemen's families, but now it is different." "I have to work on pylons for 2 years." "It is an internship for me." "It's interesting to be with them." "Later we have to decide what to do." "I like the job." "Where are you working now?" "Behind those mountains." "We're setting up towers all the way to this mountain." "Get off!" "Let's start work." "Khalil!" "Come fasten the cable holders." " Hold this." "Loosen it!" "Come on!" "Pull!" "Take the legs and fitings to the base!" "Saman and Emran!" "Go to that side and hammer the nails!" "Up... up!" "Emran!" "Saman!" "Bring these ropes to the next base!" "Wait, Emran!" "I have a word wth you!" "Wait and listen!" "Before, unofficially... and yesterday, officially I was going to propose to her." "But seems like I was late." "Everyone in this city knows who Saman loves." "So don't tell me a newcomer has shown up in town." "I visited Molood everytime after work." "Listen!" "I visited her whenever I came from Tehran." "One day I realized I love her." " Quiet!" "Shut up!" "I shoud have broken your jaw when I suspected!" "Are you done?" "Wait!" "Where did you pop up from?" "We're all having fun working in the forest and nice weather." "But you've become a thorn in my eye." "Watch your language!" "Hush!" "Hush!" "See." "I'm taller than you like this, get it?" "Your mouth is as big as a bolt 35." "If I blow you down from up there, you'll be finished." "I didn't think you'd be so cruel." "Yes, up there on the pylon is cruelty, but we're on the ground." "Come on up, Emran!" "Come hit me!" "I'm crazy." "Come hit me!" "Move over!" "What happened?" " I didn't come here for this." "Ok." "Watch your bangles not to break." "Hit me!" "Hit me, Emran!" "This is the base of the pylon." "Number 92. 28 more to go." "Molood wil be upset." "Go!" "You didn't bring the ropes?" "This job needs order." "Pay attention!" "It is not right to fight like this." "Linemen don't deal with each other like that." "You are fellow citizens." "Guys!" "Pylon number 105 is near the road." "Families are coming to watch you set it up." "What's going on here?" "What're you up to in my workshop?" "What do I do if the guys see and get addicted?" "It's cold." "Iron is cold." "Pylon is cold." "I can't work like this." "We already set up a 40 km route." "I know." "Thank you, but I can't pay for your damages." "Your hands will slip and you'll fall down from up there." "Do you want to ruin my life?" "What's wrong, Mojerloo?" " Don't know." "He's sitting there..." "I can't work." "Iron is cold." "The weather is cold." "What's he doing?" " I don't know." "Tel me what's wrong." "Enough?" "Be careful, Jalil!" "Morteza!" "Make some tea!" "Morteza!" "Take this!" "I'll see if I can get any reception." "Don't get lost!" "We don't feel like looking for you in the forest." "Love you, mom." "I may get disconnected." "Tonight or tomorrow go to Molood's house." "Talk to her mother." "Tell her I came with flowers, but they weren't there." "Tell her I'll come in all honesty." "Don't make a fuss!" "Don't sound like you're begging either!" "Just be confident!" "Thanks." "Hi!" "How are you?" "Fine." "Don't you get scared up there?" " Well, yes, sort of." "This is the first time in 20 years that families have come to see our work." "Let's applaud for all linemen of Galugah." "Do you like to go up?" "Afraid?" "In honor of Saman." " Thanks." "Good of you to come." "(Rhyme) Uncle!" "Did you weave my chain?" "Yes." " Did you throw it over the mountain?" "Yes." "Give me some tea!" "I'm afraid of these guys." "I mean Emran and Saman." "I hope they won't get into trouble." "Good job, guys." " You too." "Emran!" "You should mention me in your thesis." "Mention everyone!" "By all means, both you and Mojerloo." "Mention Mojerloo too!" "Health and well being." "Fasten the bolts, then go down." " They're tight." "Ropes must be opened too." "Tomorrow, we'll set up pylon no. 120." "End of the line and time to pay." "Morteza's throwng a little party for you." "Go bring some sweets and juice." "So what are we doing?" "So what are you going to do?" "Will we go after our own life tomorrow?" "Look!" "We've already talked." "It is over." " The hell with you." "I did the talking first." "Really?" "But Molood didn't mention anything." "Who are you for Molood to talk to?" "Move over!" "You talk too big." "Move over!" "Hey!" "Friend!" "Student!" "Good looking!" "Whatever you like." "I'll do anything for you out of friendship." "I will even bite the ground for you." "But don't ruin my life!" "I'm barely literate, sensitive and impatient." "I'm mad." "I grew up with these irons." "Don't make me throw you down from the last pylon tomorrow." "Come down, guys!" "Have sweets and tea!" "I'll be a coward if I don't get her consent to marry me." "Look!" "Neither you nor anyone else can do anything." "I told you this before." "I'm the gentlest of all gentlemen." "I fight too." "See this rod?" "Want me to hit your forehead with this?" "Hit me!" "Dare to hit me!" " See." "That's how you'll fall down." "Back off!" " Up on the pylon in front of people," "I wanted to shout that you don't let me work." "That you're a thorn in my eye worse than gambling." "That dropping bolts is all you do." "Come down and talk!" "They're wrapping up the cables." "Come down!" "Aren't the bolts fastened?" " Come down!" "I won't come down until I settle the matter." "Nobody interfere either." "Move over!" "Go bring one of them down!" "Saman!" "Let go!" "Move over!" "Let me go down." "What do I tell them?" "They should just come down." "I'm coming up with Fereydoon to fasten the bolts." "Hear that?" "Say right here that you won't hang around Molood and I'll leave you alone." "Tomorrow, after pylon number 120 is set up, do whatever the hell you want." "Such a mess!" "You guys are exhausted after setting up 119 pylons." "Come and rest!" " He doesn't let me." "Your arms are tired." "Just say that you won't go after Molood and it'll be over." "Back off!" "Saman!" "You don't have to go up." " No, I will." "You're not emotionally well." "Don't go up!" "Don't insist!" "No, I will." "I just slipped for a moment." "I'll go." "You want me to send Jalil up?" "Say it!" "He's conscious?" "Well, say it!" "What?" "He's back in coma?" "ICU?" "Say it!" "What?" "We all said it wasn't Emran's fault." "We are witnesses." "Nonsense." "When?" "Mojerloo!" "They're here." "Keep working!" "They can't do anything to you." "Come down, Emran!" "We have to take you to the police." "We have a complaint." "You have to pay for what you did to Saman." "I'll kill you if he dies!" "Don't make a hype!" "These guys are men of work." "They're not after trouble like you guys." "These men are workers with dignity." "Come down, Emran!" "We have to take you to the police." "We have a complaint." "Go away!" "Once we finish, we'll gather our stuff to Galugah until the case is settled." "We'll settle it right here." "Go away!" "These guys are working." "You guys leave!" "I'll come to the police station." "You're like my sons." "What do you want?" "It'll be clear at the police station tomorrow." "Go on, leave!" "Move back!" "You'll call the police?" "Go!" "Leave!" "Pylon no. 120 is finished." "This line is finished." "Go!" "When you're summoned, come to the police station." "You're free for now." "Until Saman talks, Emran is free." "Nobody make any trouble, or you will be prosecuted." "Quiet!" "Nobody talk!" "Go on!" "Be quiet!" "You insensitve coward!" "Move away!" "Hi!" "He's becoming conscious." "I'll call the doctor." "Don't leave us in the dark, Emran!" "We're here, Emran!" "Saman!" "You have to wear this girdle for 6 months, because there are bolts and metals around your spine." "You can only take it off at night;" "otherwise, wear it all the time." "Emran!" "Come on!" "We are going." "English subtitles:" "Sepideh Khalil" "Ripped and edited by:" "=tosem="
