"Darvish Khan and His Family" "The Stone Garden" "Camera:" "Freydoun Ghovanlou" "A film by Parviz Kimiavi" "I'm going to school, goodbye." "God be with you." "Go and check on Darvish Khan." "Stop!" "Left, right, march!" "Company, halt!" "Mahrokh, what's the story with Darwish Khan hanging stones from the trees?" "It was a dream, he dreamed of the Saint." "It was a vision." "Salam." "Mahrokh, where does Darwish Kahn find stones with holes in them?" "Where ever we look, we can't find even one!" "You can't see such things." "He had a dream, so only he can see it." "Mom, they make fun of me at school." "They say my father is crazy, hanging stones." "They're foolish." "It was a dream vision." "Dream vision?" "That's nonsense!" "I'm quitting school." "Don't get upset, there'll be a crowd..." "Be patient." "There'll be lots of people." "Everyone will come." "Don't worry, son." "You're son is going to be drafted." "He's been enlisted." "My son drafted?" "Who'll graze the sheep?" "To the head of Balvard military police" "I, Hussein Esfandiyarpour, son of Darvish Khan Esfandiyarpour, have an appeal regarding my brother Hassan, who is going to be drafted." "My father will have no assistant." "We've no one else to care for our sheep." "If they draft my brother, undoubtedly we'll lose my father, who is deaf and mute and unable to hear or understand anything." "Also, there's a lot of bugs around here." "I beg that you don't draft my brother Hassan Esfandiarpour, because the herd will become sick, and the fruit garden will be left alone." "And if nobody sprays it'll be destroyed." "Please have pity on a deaf-mute person and do something so my brother will not be drafted." "Please follow this case seriously." "Respectfully," "Hussein Esfandiarpour" "I have a friend, in the military police of Kerman" "I will tell him" "Maybe he can do something to not draft your son." "May God give you a long life."

"Hello, is this Mr Shabkhiz residence?" "I want to talk to Rahim." "Hello, Rahim, how are you doing?" "Thanks, it's Manouchehr." "Hello, I can't hear you." "Rahim, talk louder." "Rahim, can you hear me?" "It's all from stone." "Hello, did you hear me?" "No, the poor thing isn't crazy, he's an artist." "There is nobody to take care of them, to graze their sheep." "The fellow will be left alone." "Do something   aha ..." "Do something if you can, so the son won't be drafted." "Hello, hello, it's disconnected." "Tehran, Tehran!" "Dear Moam, dear Moam, Tehran, Tehran..." "No connection sir, sorry." "I couldn't do anything, the connection was lost." "Then who did this?" "Who did this?" "I don't know, it was not Darvish Khan!"

"Oh Imam Reza!" "Grant my wishes!" "Oh Imam Reza, son of Musa, son of Ja'far" "Oh Imam Reza..." "Oh the guided one!" "Darvish Khan, who was guided by the saints..." "Oh Imam Reza, grant our wishes!" "Mahrokh!" "You did very well allowing them to be pilgrims in this garden." "Darvish Khan had a dream vision of it, therefore, it belongs to everyone." "Oh, Imam of the ages, Imam of the ages..." "Greetings, how're you doing?" "Are you all doing fine?" "My Greetings." "Around the trees everyone..." "Oh Saints!" "Oh Saints!" "There's no money!" "Where's the money?" "Where's the money?" "Haj Abbas, we didn't find any money on the trees!" "The Saints must be angry with us for taking that money." "Nobody visits the saints to get money."

"The sun hasn't set yet!" "Wait till dark!" "The sunlight prevents us from seeing the Light of the Saint." "Day, night, nonsense!" "There is no difference." "Oh sun, set, we want to go, we're mourning." "Set down!" "We want to go!" "Grant our wishes!" "Oh Imam Reza." "Darvish Khan, the one who met the saints" "Oh Imam Reza!" "Grant my wishes."
