"Open your mouth." "How are you, sir?" "What are you doing out here, sonny?" "Where can I find the highway to Istanbul?" "It's obvious you are not from this region." "Like me." "Where do you come from?" "From the other side, Iraqi Kurdistan." "I'm going to Istanbul." "Why are you going to Istanbul?" " I'm looking for my sister." " Where is your sister?" "I don't know, but she ran away." "I will find her and kill her!" "BEFORE SNOWFALL" "Siyar!" "Give me the ball." "What's this you're wearing?" "Uncle Hajar is here." "Agha and the others will be here soon." "Come get ready!" "What are you looking at?" " Siyar!" "I have to talk to you." " Not now, the guests are here!" "Uncle, they're here!" "Let them get out of the cars." "I will greet them." " Hello!" " Welcome, Agha!" "Today, we are here for a good deed, God willing!" "I should have talked to your deceased father about this matter." "But now you are a man too, so let's talk man to man." "The reason for our visit today is to connect two families together." "And we request that you allow your sister to marry my son!" " Isn't Mum home?" " No." " Where is Nermin?" " She and Mum went to fetch water." "Nergiz, are you sure they went to fetch water?" "Nermin went to hang up the clothes to dry." "Agha, I'm here to postpone the wedding a little bit." " My sister is not feeling well." " What has happened to her?" "She's not ready to get married." "Your sister is anxious." "Her anxiety will go away soon." "Tomorrow, we'll come to prepare for the wedding ceremony." "Don 't worry!" "Nermin, dear, tomorrow we will have so many guests." "It's been a long day." "Go and sleep." "Agha and his family are not bad folks." "You will be a bride;" "you will have your own home too." "But know that this is your father's house, and our door is always open." "HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES A TURK" "Taxi!" "You were making noise till 4 in the morning, and drove us crazy." "Hello." "Do you speak Kurdish?" "Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic, Farsi, but not English." "I am looking for Fateh." "Fateh is not here." "I don't think he will come here." "Agha told me to say hello to you." "He advised me to stay here." " Do you also want to go to Europe?" " No, I'm here for something else." "Oh, you're here for something else!" "Fine!" "Fine!" "My name is Osman!" "People call me Mukhtar!" "You can ask me anything!" "I know Istanbul like the palm of my hand." "Open the door!" "Why didn't you open the door?" "I have a new guy here." " Let me tell your fortune!" " Has Heyder Fanos arrived?" "Nobody knows when he comes." "This boy is looking for Fateh." "Fateh robbed people and fled." "Heyder Fanos has taken his place." "This is your bed." "Hey boy!" "He's not your father's servant." "Give him a tip!" "This is Nermin Tahir Ebdullah." "Hawar Qadir Ibrahim brought her to Istanbul." "Hawar is a tall, slim guy with a beard." "Hello!" "Can you find out if Hawar has stayed here?" "Come!" "I've brought you something." "Here, take a look!" "Go to the next one." "Let me see that." " That's him." " Is it him?" "I can't remember him." "He has a beard now." " I should go down to my boss." " Leave it with me." "You'll get it back." " I'll return it for you." " No, no!" "Let's go to Hawar and discuss it!" " I will solve this matter myself!" " You should talk to your sister nicely." "She disgraced us." "Now, what should I say to her?" "Siyar, don't do anything bad!" "Should I keep quiet and let people laugh at us?" "Nermin and that scoundrel dishonoured all of us!" "That's your father's gun." "Don't do anything bad with it!" "Brother, don't do anything bad to Nermin!" "You're too young!" "It's not your business!" "It's a man's job." " Is Hawar home?" " No, he's not home." "I must speak to your father." "Daddy!" "Welcome, Siyar!" "Why are you carrying a gun?" " Where's your son?" "We need to talk." " He's not home." "What's wrong?" " That scoundrel is hiding." " Watch your tongue!" "We are an honourable family." "...and we have manners." "Did you know your son ran away with my sister, Agha's daughter-in-law?" "My son wouldn't do such a thing!" "Listen, your son is in danger!" "Prepare a coffin for him!" "Dad!" "All the people in the village want to see our reaction." "I must solve this!" " Why don't you sleep?" " I'm just thinking, Mum." "I lost Nermin." "I don't want to lose you too." "I want to see my Nermin again." "I want her to return home." "Turn the light off." "We want to sleep." " Aren't you going to sleep?" " I don't feel like sleeping." "Come here." "Come on." "What is that in your hand?" " Give it to me!" " It's nothing." "Give it to me!" "Why are you carrying this knife?" "Do you want to kill somebody?" "I'm alone in this city." "I want to protect myself." "Against whom?" "Are you afraid something will happen?" "If you want to kill somebody, it's no problem..." "But you must know how to kill." "You hold the knife like this,   one stab to the heart, upwards, through the intestines, like this." "Can't we have some peace?" "We are trying to sleep!" "Lay down!" "Understood?" "Siyar!" "Siyar!" " Get up!" "Come with me!" " Where?" "Come and see." "Hurry up!" "Don't point!" " I should go." " Where are you going?" " I have work to do!" " Ok, go." "Did you go and threaten my family?" "Who do you think you are?" "!" "You ran away with my sister, and you're getting angry?" " Where is Nermin?" " Don't make me kill you!" "Tell me, where is Nermin?" "Listen!" "Azad gave me money to take her across the border." "That's all!" "You're lying!" "Azad wanted to marry my sister, but my father disagreed." "Azad and your sister kept seeing each other after your father disagreed." "They continued sending each other letters." "Siyar, it was very stupid of me to do what I did." " I was promised a lot of money." " Where are he and Nermin now?" "I don't know." "They went away." "You are a shame to the village, so don't show yourself there again!" "Brother, come here!" "Let me polish your shoes!" "Just 1 Lira!" " I'll do it in two minutes." " No." "Give me two of those!" "Yes." "Those ones." " Let me polish your shoes!" " No, thank you." " Are you a Kurd?" "Which region?" " Iraq." "So, let me polish your shoes." "I'll do it for free." " This is my spot!" " Get lost!" " Stop it!" "Don't quarrel!" " You never mind!" "My wallet!" "Stop!" "Give me back my wallet!" "My wallet!" "Leave him alone!" "Hey you!" " What are you doing?" " This bastard was following you!" "You, get outta here!" "Are you ok?" "This place is very dangerous." "You shouldn't have come here." "What do you want?" "What did you come for?" "Isn't this yours?" "Here, take it." "Stop, just a moment." "I threw away your wallet." "Is she your girlfriend?" " Show me the card!" " There is no card!" " You're cheating, I'm not playing." " Come on!" " No, I won't." " Okay, then don't play." "He stole cards from him and pissed him off." "Hey guys, Heyder Fanos is here." "Wait a moment!" " Do you know Fateh?" " Please!" "One at a time." "Pal!" "I'm going mad here!" "I have no money left!" "Ok!" "No problem!" "Come to me, we will discuss it." "Do you know this person?" " I don't know her." " Agha has sent me here." "Later." "Later." "Hasan!" "Bring these guys down one at a time so that I can talk to them." "Siyar!" " What has happened to you?" " Nothing has happened." "I thought about what you said about me and the village." "We're both strangers here." "You're alone and you don't know anyone here." "But you know Agha and I know this city." "Let us help each other." "What do you want?" "Your sister is here." "I have to go." "The rest is up to you." "Siyar..." "Take care." "Nermin!" "Open the door!" "Go away!" "I knew I would find you!" "Open the door!" "You dishonoured us!" "You can't run away from me!" "Open the door!" "If you go with Azad." "I swear I will bring your dead body home to Kurdistan." " I love Azad!" " Shut up!" "Nobody can separate us." "You're too young!" "You can't understand!" "I swear I will kill you." "I will kill you either now or later." " Your sister was here, but she left." " When?" " This morning." " Have they left Istanbul?" "A person from Europe brought her a passport and they left together." "I will provide you with a passport, money and anything you need." "They think they can hide." "Those who mess with people's honour will regret the day they were born." "Do you understand?" "Wait at the hotel for my call, OK?" " Let me carry it for you." "It's my job." " No, I'll take it myself." "I am not like other smugglers." "You're asking for a guarantee." "I'm not selling a TV or a Land Cruiser!" "I am myself the guarantee!" "Now, do you have the money?" " It's being sent from Kurdistan." " Give us the money and rest assured!" " Where in Europe do you want to go?" " Germany." "Germany?" "No." "Go to Scandinavia." "Go to Norway!" "Norway is better." "Lots of jobs." "Norway is wealthy, they have oil." "And they respect human rights." "You don't talk about your sister, so I won't talk about my mother." "Why aren't you together?" " I told you I don't live with her." " Tell me, where's your mum?" "Wait!" "Why are you dressing like a boy and stealing from people?" "I don't want to live like this either." "I want to go to my father." "Where is your father?" "In Europe." "So, why didn't you go with him?" "I tried several times, but you don't know how difficult it is." "Europe is bigger than Kurdistan and Turkey together." "There are police everywhere." "They arrest people and deport them." "Where does your father live?" "Berlin." "When do you leave?" "Can I come with you?" "You can't come with me." "Why not?" "Because the smuggler does not take girls." "Hello!" "Yes, Agha?" " Listen." "I know where they are hiding." " Where?" "Contact Heyder Fanos." "He will get you to Europe." "You have to hurry." "There's a guy from our village who will help you when you arrive." "Just a moment." "His name is Sherzad." "Brother, please give me some money!" "Evin!" "What's happening here?" "Get out!" "You animals!" "What are you doing here?" "!" "Go home!" "What's the matter, Siyar?" "I'm here to say goodbye to you." " Ok." "Bon voyage." " Don't go." "Wait, for God's sake!" "Why do you talk to these children in Turkish?" "They don't know Kurdish." "They can speak only Turkish." "They've been brought up this way." "Can you walk with me to the hotel?" " Siyar, do you have a girlfriend?" " No, I don't." "Why?" "You never had one?" "No, I'll have one when I get married." "Did I say something funny?" "It's normal to have a girlfriend before getting married." "I have to go." "I have to go back to the hotel." "Siyar?" " Hello Karwan." " What do you want?" "I need to talk to Heyder Fanos." "Okay, done." "You go." "Hi Siyar!" "Welcome!" " Are you ok?" " I'm fine, thanks." "Siyar, you're ready now." "Agha sent the money." "I'll send you with the first minibus leaving Istanbul." "You rest assured." "I want to take a friend with me." "He's not in the hotel." "Do you know him well?" "Does he have money?" " If we give you money, you'll help?" " Yes." "If he has money, it's no problem." "So you will help us?" "Let's see if we can." "Bring him when you come." "We'll find a way." "Anything else?" "Bye for now." "Are there enough people to fill a minibus?" "Who is it?" "Is Evin home?" " Siyar, I thought you had gone." " I am leaving." "Are you going to meet your sister?" "We leave tonight!" "The minibus will leave near the hotel." "Get ready and you can come with us." "Siyar!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" " We're ready to go!" "Come now!" " Just a minute!" "Please, let's not leave my friend!" "Siyar!" "Wait!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "My friend's coming!" "Stop!" "Why didn't you come on time?" "We could have left without you." "These are my parents, and that's me." "And here he is in another concert." " Your father has sung so many songs." " He has recorded CDs too." "We're getting closer to your sister." "Aren't you excited?" " What's your name?" " I'm Ari." "And you?" " I'm Evin." "Where are you from?" " I'm from Qamishlo." " Where is Qamishlo?" "Is that a big city?" " Qamishlo is in Syrian Kurdistan." " Are you alone?" " No." "Where's your family?" "My father is in Berlin." "I'm also going there." "If your father's in Berlin, why do you have to go there illegally?" "Where are you going?" " Brother, where are we now?" " All of you be quiet!" "If you don't believe me, we can go our separate ways." "I'm going because of my job." "It is you that followed me." "I don't need you, Siyar." "You don't understand me." "Don't move!" "Who is kachakchi?" "No kachakchi?" "You all will be free when you say me the name of the smuggler." "You help me, and I help you." "Just say me the name of the smuggler." "Ok?" "And then you are free!" "Go to Europe!" "Who is the smuggler?" "You?" "Ok, come on..." "Take off the clothes!" "Take off the clothes!" "Come on!" "You too!" "You too!" "Take off!" "These are the smugglers." " It's them." " I'll kill you, Siyar." "No, he's liar." "Kachakchi?" "You?" "And you..." "You all can go." "Run!" "Have you seen my friend?" " Siyar!" "The truck is here!" " Have you seen her?" "Who are you talking about?" "Have you lost your mind?" "Come on!" "Are you Siyar?" "How are you?" "Are you fine?" "I am Sherzad." "I've brought you some food." "Go ahead and eat!" "Why did you do something that stupid?" "People know all about it." "You made a big mistake." "Listen, I'm your fellow villager." "I'll do what Agha has asked me to do." "That Karwan is a ruthless man." "He won't let you get away with it!" "He's a cynical smuggler." "Yes, Agha!" "It's me, Sherzad." "Yes, Siyar is with me!" "Here he is." " It's Agha." " Hello?" "Siyar, you have a long way to go!" "I talked to a fellow villager." "Nermin and Azad are in Oslo." "When you arrive in Oslo, call our fellow villager, Abdullah." "He'll help." "Let me give you some money to have with you." " I don't need money." " You do!" "It's from Agha." "If it's from Agha, I will return it to him one day." "Go!" "And take care!" "Stop!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "Evin!" "Evin, my route also goes through Berlin." "Okay." "I know how we can get there." "But we don't have any money." "I have money." "Your father is a singer so you know how to sing, don't you?" "What are you looking at?" "You look like a superstar from TV." "Look at yourself, I'm not a villager like you." "Come on!" "Let's go!" " Siyar, wait!" "Hold on." " Just do it!" "Okay!" "You push it." "Wait!" "I'll push it myself." "Is this Miro's home?" "Yes." "I've come to see Miro." "Who are you?" "I'm Miro's daughter." "Miro is my father." "Wait a moment!" "I'm sure it can't be her." "Did you know about this?" "Daddy!" "Do you recognize me?" "How many years have passed, Evin?" "You've changed so much." "How did you come here from Istanbul?" "You and your friend?" "Smugglers brought us here." "I wouldn't have made it without Siyar's help." "Surely your mother is worried about you." "You've come a long way." "My mother doesn't know I came here." "I wanted to surprise her." "She is together with my brother and sister in Diyarbakir." "How do you plan to get to Oslo?" "You don't have to go now." "Stay with us for a couple of days." "Alright, Dad?" "Hey, can't you sleep?" "Come here." " Who are they and why are they here?" " They are Pappa's guests, it's alright." "Evin, I know you came a long way." "But, I wish you hadn't come here." "I wish your mother had told you what I must tell you now." "Then, it wouldn't be necessary for us to talk about this matter now." "Now, you are grown-up enough." "You are a young woman." "You should know." "What happened?" "Just tell me!" "Your mother and I were fighting in the mountains." "Yes." "She has told me about it." "And how she got to know you." "But she has not told you everything." "We were arrested and imprisoned in Diyarbakir jail." "They tortured your mother." "They did brutal, inhumane things." "I wish life was not like this for you." "Unfortunately it's true, like it or not." "You're telling lies!" "You're saying this because of your German wife." "No, Evin!" "Your mother and I were only friends." "Nothing happened between us." "What about this?" "And this one, Daddy?" "You wrote us letters and sent photos." "What about those, Daddy?" " Yes." "I sent them." " Are all of these lies?" "I sent them just to help your mother." "Just to support you!" "To protect you." "You can stay here until we have arranged something else." "Evin!" "Stop!" "Evin, don't be sad." "You can come with me." "Shut up!" "Don't do this to yourself!" "Siyar!" "Don't say anything." "I have to work and return the money you gave me." "Did you kiss me?" "I think we have arrived." "Let's go this way." " Do you speak Kurdish?" " Yes." " Is Abdullah here?" " Who are you?" "Siyar." "I'm from Jaffar Agha's village." "Come with me." " Hello, how are you?" " I'm fine." "I'm Siyar." "I was told that you are alone?" "This is Evin." " You and I need to talk." "Come with me!" " Stay here." "Hello, Karzan, get down here." "The boy has arrived." "Apple?" "Agha was so worried." "He's calling non-stop." "We thought something had happened to you." "Who's this girl?" " I met her on the way." " Why didn't you come sooner?" "You should have been here sooner." "That's Karzan, he found her." "Nermin is not in Oslo." "She and Azad are living in a secret place." "You can stay with me." "I'll help you." "Okay?" "Are you related to Siyar?" "You can go into the office and get warm." "No thanks." " What's your name?" " Evin." " What did he say to you?" " He asked me my name." "Siyar!" "What's the matter?" "Why aren't you sleeping?" "I can't sleep either." "Many people are waiting for you to solve this problem." "You understand." "Don't worry, your name isn't registered in this country." "So don't be scared." " What are you up to?" " I just want to go out a bit." "I'll go with you." "I just want to go with Karzan to see where Nermin is staying." "Siyar..." "Wait!" "Keep cool!" "Nermin!" "Stop!" " Don't go so fast!" " You're the slow one!" " Hey!" "Don't move!" " What's the matter?" "Don't you want to see your sister?" "97... 98... 99...100." "Don't follow me, go hide somewhere else!" "Hurry up and hide!" "I know where you are." "I found you!" "Siyar, let's go find Nermin!" "Nermin!" "Where are you?" "You were shouting in your sleep." "I had a nightmare." "Take it." "See how it feels." " I need to talk to Nermin first." " What do you want to tell her?" "Siyar?" "I'm coming." "I'll be waiting for you outside." "Don't be late!" " Don't go!" " I have to." "Stay here!" "Don't leave me alone!" " I'll come back soon." " No, Siyar!" "We came here together!" "Why do you do these things behind my back?" "Please, for my sake!" "If I don't go right now, then we can't leave this place." "Azad has gone to work." "Wait for her by the road!" "When you see her, don't be scared, and don't hesitate." "Take the gun out, don't look her in the eyes." "Shoot at her head or her throat." "And if you want to make sure, point your gun here." "Stop!" "You will bring Nermin home, right?" "Will you bring her home?" "Why did you come here?" "I want to talk to my sister alone." "I saw the bearded man again on the train." "Don't worry!" "Now, I must go alone." "Stay here!" "I'll come back soon." "Don't follow me!" "Wait!" "I promise to wait for you here." "Stop!" "Siyar... wait!" "I'm your sister!" "I knew I would catch you." "Don't do it!" "Don't do it!" "Go away!" "I wish I never saw you!" "This is the last time you will see me!" "Go!" " I can't do it!" " That's not my business." "You're Siyar from Jaffar Agah, aren't you?" "Who is the smuggler?" "Siyar, who is the smuggler?" "Let me shake your hand." "Come on!" "I bring greetings from the smuggler." "He who helped you and the others to get here." "Who are you?" "Karwan the smuggler says hello!"
