00:00:26 There is no shortage of ugliness in the world.

00:00:47 Out of respect for the man, we should fight against this ugliness

00:01:42 Lord, I praise you for having given me the hands for work

00:03:01 Thursday...

00:03:20 Wednesday... January...

00:04:26 because you have created me in a wonderful way.

00:05:07 brought here by Destiny My heart is bursting with grief.

00:06:01 it attacks the eyes, like it attacks the liver and the marrow of the bones

00:06:42 The leprosy is not an incurable illness.

00:08:10 I prostrate myself before You completely

00:08:28 I obey Your orders and Your power

00:10:02 because I see the violence and the quarrels.

00:10:41 I would feel the weight of your hand on me

00:11:11 While I keep silent, my bones waste away

00:11:58 Let me alone, that I may find... [a little comfort]

00:13:03 the noise of the mill

00:14:04 and lifting the hands towards the sky, they say:

00:14:38 You make up your eyes with kohl

00:17:40 The turtle doves are begging for the justice and we are waiting for the light.

00:18:20 Why should we thank God for having given us father and mother?

00:18:55 The hands, the feet, the eyes.

00:20:10 Movie is made by the commission of the Aid Society for the Lepers

00:20:40 Screenplay, editing and direction: Forough Farrokhzadd
