Sara!
Now give me my tip.
Who gave it to you'? Javid.
Aha, Javid has sent me this letter. Thank you.
You were lucky the guard didn't catch you.
Javid is my lover.
He has written: "Hello my darling. I love you!"
He misses me a lot!
I love Javid so I fled with him. My family wanted to force me
to marry another man.
When you are in love, you become so brave that you can do anything!
But both families reported us to the police.
Then the police caught us.
He's on the other side of the wall, in the men's section.
He writes that he is waiting to be free and marry me.
Can any man be saved from Nadjibeh?
It's not easy to find a real man nowadays.
If he's a real man...
If he's a real man, he will never be a patsy to a woman!
But women have a magnet!
They can attract men with their magnets
Damn their magnets! Men should be patient!
They should not kill their wives. They should not marry another women.
And they should not make love with others!
I swear to God.
If I say to a man that I love him, do you think that
I will have him if he is not satisfied with that'?
Yes! If you say to him a few more times...
No no no.
Your magnet is going to work and he will come to you!
What to me'? I don't care.
Are you ashamed of what Shagol said about you'?
She said that my magnet is so strong that I attract men.
But if men don't want you what can a woman do'?
Can she do anything? No!
I came home from work and found my husband with other women.
I couldn't accept that, so I complained.
He beat me when I was pregnant. I was always bleeding
from his beatings.
My son is my whole life.
He is the only one I have in this world.
Be careful.
I was two months pregnant when I fled from my husband.
He was born here in prison and now he's two months old.
The night that he was born all the women here danced.
When the 10 years in prison pass he will also leave the prison.
I have no milk myself so if I have money, I buy milk for him.
If I don't have money, I can't even buy powdered milk.
Look! This is my doll.
A Pakistani inmate said my son was an ugly elf.
She said my son was ugly and I hit her like this!
I felt really bad the first days. I thought all the prisoners were
judges or lawyers!
I cried very much and was sad all the time.
It was funny when I understood that all of them were prisoners!
When I heard that Javid was on the other side of the wall,
I became very happy.
Javid!
They filled the hole in the toilet wall so now,
I have just this hole to watch him.
I made a hole in the toilet wall to watch the men's section.
I used to talk to him until the guards saw the hole and filled it.
Javid is a kind guy. He's just like me.
The way that he talks, his handwriting, his character,
everything!
He's 22 years old.
The first time I saw Javid was on my way to school.
I instantly fell in love.
We made contact by writing letters.
The first letter he sent me, I read it immediately and answered it.
When the mobile came we started talking by telephone.
Sometimes I met him when I visited his grandmother.
We had a good time when we were close together as lovers!
My family tried to marry me to another man.
I said that I didn't want to. But they said that I had to.
That's when I called Javid and told him about it.
He told me to calm down and come to him, so we could go to the
Women's Center and get married.
But he didn't take me to the Women's Center
but to some of his relatives.
We were there a couple of days and then we got arrested
by the police.
They asked me who I wanted to marry and I said Javid,
that's why we ran away.
Then they put us in prison.
Anyway I'm proud of what I did. I did right in running away.
He's a good boy and worth it.
He knows what love is and he loves me.
Hide it well. If they catch you, they'll punish you.
Go to him. Say hello from me and give him the letter
Don't come back until he gives you an answer.
Go now my little sister!
Greetings everyone.
Everyone is well?
Good, good, good.
Stand at ease.
I have to tell you something about our women colleagues.
They are our strongest asset in this prison.
You know we have 500 male prisoners and 40 females.
It is much harder to take care of these 40 women than 500 men!
I will thank our female colleagues.
Without them the whole system will crash.
For 30 years we have been forced into war with blood
and killing of each other.
These circumstances have not allowed us to get enough education.
To get knowledge and be aware of our situation.
90% are forced to marry because of foolishness and ignorance.
And neither the wife nor the husband is satisfied.
When the couple is not satisfied with each other
day by day problems and rows will get worse.
Mostly it is because of forcing marriages and ignorance.
So both sides won't be satisfied.
So when God's order is not conformed on the earth, there will be problems.
This one is clean.
Search the children too.
Sima! There's someone here to see you!
Your visitor. - Who?
Your husband!
Take your burqa and come.
Hurry up Sima!
You are showing your broken teeth. They are yellow.
Don't you brush them?
Who should I brush them for'?
I used to brush them for you. Who should I brush them for now?
I'm neither courting women nor boys.
God knows how many times you've done it!
I don't get it. You were a brave and courageous woman.
Everybody's mocking me. How should I respond?
If a man stands by his woman, then the women should
also stand by her man.
I have a home but without you in it.
When I think of it, your honour was bigger than a man's.
Your honour was six times the size of a man's.
You're from that honorable family. What happened to you for God's sake?
Why did you jeopardize everything for this one time and humiliate me?
If you are so brave, or whatever you are...
you should have thought of your little daughter...
you should have thought of Riza Gul and your husband.
You should have asked yourself: "What does my husband mean to me?"
"Why did I have to cheat'? And for what?"
A fucking catamite boy!
You couldn't find anyone outside so you did it inside the house.
My husband is not normal. His mood changes every hour!
He used to beat me all the time.
He still beats me when he comes to visit me.
He even beats his own kids. My kids and kids from his other wives.
He is very hysteric. He doesn't have a normal attitude.
My life has always been bitter. He killed one of his wives.
He is crazy!
When he came here a few days ago he just beat me and left.
I just want to have a calm life. But where can I go
with my five children?
He becomes so mad that he beats up his kids to death.
One was beaten by a stick and died.
I was so frightened that I decided flee with my kids to my mother.
I would never flee if there was no problem.
I endured my husband for the sake of my children.
When you live under such pressure eventually you are forced to flee.
So I fled with my stepson.
Now I'm sentenced to 15 years because I'm accused
of having a relationship with my stepson.
I fled from him when I was alone in my room.
There were 3 rooms. One for my sister in law,
one for his second wife and mine.
There he found me with my lover. We fled, but they arrested us.
You don't feel as much pain in your heart
when you are separated from your parents
as when you are separated from your lover!
To love someone is the most difficult thing in this world.
I just cry and I dream about him.
I have looked everywhere but I can not find him!
That man asked me to give my son to him.
He wanted to pay but I refused. I don't want to earn money
from my own child.
He says I should give my baby to his sister.
Children are so sweet. I have suffered a lot because of him.
I am not going to lose him so easily!
I will pay my price in this prison however difficult,
but I will keep him.
It is nice to come out from here with my child.
He is going to stay with me forever!
I'll never give him up.
Everybody tells me to give him up. But I won't.
Prison is much better than my own home.
Now I know prisoners and guards better.
They have become like my family.
Guards have become my mother and prisoners my sisters.
Here you can be yourself.
Nobody says anything if you don't wear the burqa.
They never ask you what are you doing'?
You can even watch the outside from here.
When you are out, everybody wants to decide about your life.
They just try to control you.
Tell him to call back!
My husband will absolutely call back when he sees my missed call.
What was his name?
Shaflgh!
Is not his name Shafie?
Yes.
But you say Shafigh!
At home nobody understands us.
It does not even ring'?
No signal?
You can listen yourself!
Nadjibeh has had a very difficult life!
She got married when she was only 10 years old!
She had to flee that man!
When she became older and mature, she understood her miserable life.
So she fled with a man she fell in love with.
Does it ring'?
Maybe the prison is a better place for her.
Even though she fights a lot.
- Now call to this number!
She only fights because she is so desperate about everything.
She is always waiting for someone to visit her...
and give her a little money to buy milk for her child.
- Answer please!
With Sima ifs the same.
When she was 10 her father was very poor.
He forced her to marry an old man with two wives
and they are older than her.
After having six children she still didn't understand what it
is to be a woman.
The difference between Sima and me is that
I'm not married and I know what life is.
Before I was forced to get married I managed to save
my life from disaster.
Oh God...
Let me put one on your forehead.
No I don't want.
Oh no, my nails are not dry yet.
Hey! Cover your hair.
Why doesn't she veil her hair'? "Shut up" as English gentlemen say.
Let me color your nails.
Stop it!
What about the lipstick?
It has been more than two years since anyone has visited me.
I have no one to come and see me in this prison.
Let's hope he comes tomorrow. That's all I can do.
If he comes, I will ask him to bring your children too.
Sir, my husband will come and see you tomorrow.
You told me that he would behave but every time he comes
he just hurts me.
Could you please make him understand?
Yes I will.
He will be a completely different man.
Shamsoldin ! Son of?
Son of Ghamari.
To visit who'?
My wife Sima.
Go ahead.
General ! I'm at your service.
This is for you dear sir General. I came earlier but you were in Kabul.
Look at this warm welcome. How honorable he is.
Look at his humanity.
Congratulations dear jailor.
Please come to my shop again, sir!
I will, thank you sir.
Goodbye.
Now, please sit down. And close the door.
You should not bother and say bad things to your wife.
I am listening to you sir.
No you don't.
I told you that she is your wife. You have children, be honorable.
Don't be angry and shout at her. Otherwise I will be upset.
OK sir, I will.
If you want God and me to be happy with you, put your anger aside.
She's your wife. Kiss her and make her happy.
Respect her and when she's released take her home to Mazar.
Whatever you say, I will do, sir. My son did one disobedient act.
Therefore I became angry and sent them here to this prison.
I haven't seen any bad actions from her. This is my son's fault.
Bring Shamsullah here.
Here is the guy, Shamsollah!
Don't laugh guy
Good day father.
It was my mistake to take her out of the house
without my father's permission.
I don't have anything to say. He is my father. I am his son.
I accept whatever he wants to do.
It was my fucking mistake that put her here.
This, my wife, left home without her husband's permission.
Without my permission she cam even go
to my brother's house.
She couldn't find her family home so she asked her stepson
to take her to them.
He rented a house and they stayed there.
I went to Pakistan, Karachi, Peshawar, Kandahar,
and put up his photo in four districts of Kabul.
After 22 days I caught him in a house in Taluqan.
When I entered the house there were 30 people.
If they hadn't been there, I would have killed them both.
I am not saying that he did anything bad with her.
Had I seen them do something bad, I would have chopped them to pieces.
The devilish things were with my son.
Why did he take my wife from my home?
We have been together for 22 years and have 6 children.
I didn't know taking her to her father's house
would create this much trouble.
I'd rather eat dung than do this.
I am a honorable man who fought with General Najib.
I swear I won't let this catamite boy live.
Even if I have to wait 20 years, I'll turn him into pieces.
I can't get him now because he is in prison.
After his release I'll get him.
My wife isn't a city lady or a streetwalker.
She's a villager.
Now she has made a prisoner of herself.
Why did you steal my money?
Why did you steal?
The food that you feed yourself with is from this dirty money!
You are a thief!
Why do you steal our money?
Thief!
You steal our money! This is dirty money!
She lies all the time. Everybody knows that!
I didn't steal her money.
I steal one dollar?!
I gave you back one dollar, the rest of your money!
She is a real whore!
I'm not the whore! It's all of you who are whores!
Shut up! Everybody knows why you are here! Whore!
All the guards are so full of shit!
God damn you!
Release me so I can show her!
How can she steal from a prisoner'? She gets a salary, isn't that enough'?
You all are the same! I swear to God to kill all of you!
We wait for a visitor to give us a bit of money and then you steal it!
Go! I don't want to see you! You're on her side!
I'm not on her side but I'll beat you if you hit our guards.
Nobody can beat me! Do you understand?
Listen! She gave me 3 dollars.
1 dollar for her debt to Abooghader, 2 dollars for her gas!
She wanted to give me 1 dollar for my service.
But I still took 1 dollar from my own pocket for her gas.
Why does she do this to me?
Do you know how many times I went to the doctor with her?
Or did the vaccination for her son?
Helping her to the doctor or help buying her medicine?
Does that make me a bad person?
When I don't have money I borrow from other prisoners.
I borrow money to make phone calls.
I don't have relatives, just a husband.
When my husband sends money I pay them back.
I'm a prisoner, I can't go out to buy things.
But they take our money and don't give back the change!
Is this my fault'?
Should they steal my money when I can't do anything for myself'?
We have no power! ls it justice when you steal from us'?
She's like a beast!
What do I do wrong to get beaten everyday?
The prisoners beat me!
Where is my burqa? Firouzeh, give me a burqa!
Let's see if she gets through the night alive!
If I do not kill her tonight!
I have to see the chief.
If we do not stop the guards, they will continue to steal from us.
One kilo of meat costs 2 dollars. But they take 3 dollars!
If something costs 1 dollar, they take 3 dollars from us!
I had to pay 3 dollars for this dress which only costs 1 dollar!
They know nothing of humanity! About how a prisoner gets money?
Tell me sister! Did I ever borrow money without giving it back?
Have you ever seen me lie or steal your money?
How long should I be patient? I know we are prisoners
but we have rights.
When I was free, I had no life! I don't care if I stay here longer!
- Sara!
Don't sit and wash his clothes all the time.
It might not help you.
I love him, what can I do'? I hope it will.
And I don't want anyone else to wash his clothes.
All this belongs to my dear Javid.
I send him a message to send me his laundry.
He gives it to the guards and they bring it to me.
Sometimes he brings it himself, other times he sends the kids.
Ifs my dream to wash his clothes in our own home.
But What can I do? I am in prison now.
But I'm happy anyway to wash his clothes.
Sara'?
Please come here my little sister!
What is it'?
Come here!
What do you want'?
Can you write me a letter'?
Sure I will. Do you have a pen?
Ifs a letter to my stepson...
to tell him to be careful. His father has a plan to kill him.
He is going to pay a prisoner. So he has to be very careful.
You mean that his own father will pay to kill him'?
Who told you that?
I heard him talking to a prisoner at the Visitor's Center.
Who talked to the prisoner'?
His father, Shamsudin.
Your husband. Yes.
What did he say?
He asked this prisoner to kill his son...
and promised he'll get well paid.
So now you'll warn him'?
Yes!
He has already killed my stepson's mother and could kill me loo.
Could you please try to call Shafie one more time?
This number!
I hope he answers.
Look, the judge is here!
Where?
Why is he here?
Are you stopping the call?
Later, later!
Najibeh! The judge wants to talk to you.
Does he want to talk to me'?
Yes!
Listen Najibeh! I have no time to listen to your story.
You have no time'? I just wonder why you fight'?
You should make time if you want to understand me!
If I fight there is a reason. Ask about the reason!
My problem is why do they steal our money'?
I am a prisoner. How can I find the money? Listen!
Tell me your problem! We can talk to prison's head.
He was not here!
He finally came back.
You should tell the guards not to steal our money!
Then I won't have to fight.
This is typical of her. She fights everybody, even prisoners.
Listen! Be quiet!
Listen to me!
I swear to God if you fight one more time, I will
What are you going to do? I'll send you to Kabul prison!
- Send me where ever you want!
You are all corrupt anyway! You steal our money.
Go and sue us!
If I sue you, it is you, yourself who is the judge!
Sima! The director wants to talk to you.
Where is my burqa?
Sima, come here!
You can sit there.
What is your problem'? It's about my husband.
I heard in the visiting hall that he wants to pay someone
to kill his son in the jail.
What did you think after?
His son helped me and saved me from him.
I have to do something for him.
Don't worry! As long as I am here, there is no problem.
I'll look into it to find the problem. I'll keep him safe.
I'll do my best for his security. I'll try to move him
to somewhere safe.
Any other problem'? No thanks.
I'm forced to be in prison.
But at the same time ifs the only place where I feel free.
The law never asks us what we really want of our life.
Because this law doesn't understand women!
They just see a girl fleeing from home and the law
puts the girl in jail while ignoring her side of the story.
They never ask you why you fled'?
I'm telling you seriously! They're moving me from here.
Come here as soon as possible! Only you can help me.
Try to do your best! Come here as soon as possible.
They are moving me from here!
All the prisoners and guards are united to move me from here.
When are you coming'?
When?
What do you mean "one day"!
If you're not coming, you may as well just tell me now.
If Javid gets released before me, I'll die.
I can't live without him.
I want to marry him and move to Kabul...
go back to study and take responsibility for our family.
I have made myself many enemies.
All my relatives are against me now.
If I continue my life in this town, my relatives will punish me.
If he marries me, I'll have a good life.
If he doesn't, I'll be forced back to the family that
made my life so miserable.
The law will give me back to my family and the anguish
of my tragic life will start again.
Living without any education, my miserable life will start again.
If I had the power I want to help all girls and boys
who love each other to be together forever.
To defend all the women's rights! I am tired of seeing
how men oppress women.
To see how they are always under the control of their family!
Women must always have permission from men to go out from home.
This control over women lets them abuse them!
They should have the right to decide on their own.
They should have their rights in their own hands!
Don't cry Nadjebe. I have called the doctor.
Maryam, knock on the door and tell the doctor to come.
Get the doctor, quick!
Don't cry Nadjebe.
Bring me the alcohol.
She must have her injections. Why did she remove the bandage'?
Both her hands are full of holes.
Leave her to me. I don't want to have an injection.
I won't let you. I will die or be fine by my own.
Nadjebe, listen to me. Sir, I don't want the injection.
Why? Let me die.
They're necessary. They must be injected twice a day.
They are very strong. She made a mistake removing her bandage.
I sold my son and gave my cradle to her.
Then I gave it to her.
Her daughter was a little girl too.
When your own son is not yours how can anothers son be yours?
Two nights I suffered from pain in the clinic,
and one month in the prison.
But it was all useless. It would have been better
if he had died.
I didn't have enough milk so I had to sell him.
My husband just left me without divorcing me.
Losing some one by death is easier, but it is more difficult to lose
some one who still lives.
I have been separated from my parents for almost 20 years...
and now I'm separated from my child as well.
Orphaned by someone else's doing. All because of his spineless father.
His cowardly father...
When I see all these children my heart breaks into pieces.
Oh God, shouldn't I wish for my child to be with me'?
He's ready!
Good morning everybody. God bless you.
Please do not worsen my days. I have enough problems to solve.
At the same time, I can't ignore you
because all of you are my responsibility.
When I want to talk to you, one starts talking from here,
there, everywhere.
There's no way I can take care of you if you don't help me.
Tomorrow is the Eighth Day of Saor, so there will be good news
Perhaps you will be pardoned by the President.
I hope many of you will be released.
Wishing the best for everyone!
If they move me from here, they should check the reason first!
They should do a research first! I have written a report
about their faults!
I will show my paper to prove who is guilty and who is not!
I am not afraid of anyone who wants to move me from here!
I'm just afraid of God! It is God who gives life
and takes it from us!
They can condemn me to a longer imprisonment or move me from here.
They cannot kill me!
Can you be quiet, she is talking on the telephone.
Listen, come with my kids and visit me today.
Sara! Hey Sara!
You are going to be released!
Really? Yes, you will be released.
And Javid? Yes, both of you in 3 days.
What happens after? You'll start your lucky future.
Really? Thank you for this great news.
Now go and prepare.
This is Sara.
What is your name? Sara.
Daughter of'? Amir Sangin Mohamed.
Sara Sangin Mohamed, do you know that you are going to be released?
- Yes I do.
As per supreme court regulations, we have received your release order.
Your custody time was counted enough, so you are released.
Congratulations! Try to choose a good life in the future.
Thank you very much sir.
Wait a minute!
Please let the boy go to the men's section.
It's about me and... Go collect all your stuff.
Hurry up now.
I will do that but I need a reply to this letter.
Give it to Javid.
Give it to Javid. Hurry!
I ask him if he still loves me and wants to marry me.
Why did he flee with me? Will he take care of me'?
Outside I cannot feel safe.
Perhaps I will be killed.
I don't know. I think my uncle or his sons might kill me.
If he doesn't marry me I will be killed.
I can only wait and hope for God to decide.
Sara's older brother is extremely angry with her.
He hatches a plot to kill her at home.
His pride won't allow him to live with her because
she ran away with a man.
He won't accept his sister who was imprisoned for a year.
He will say that his sister disgraced him and so she must be killed.
Mom, I don't want to go back with father.
- Ok, you can stay with me. - Really'?
My husband tries to move me to a prison in Mazar.
All his family and friends live there.
I'm confused whether to agree or not.
I don't know what his plans are.
For me it is the same. Prison is prison.
I'm a state prisoner for 15 years.
He says that he doesn't want to hurt me.
But what he says are just useless words.
Well see whether his plans will result in ending my life.
God is kind.
I hope the state doesn't release me and give me to him.
Then I know that he can kill me.
If I get to decide, I want to stay here. I feel safe here.
Hey Latifeh! Yes!
For Gods sake! Don't you know my situation?
What happened? Look!
I washed my blanket 100 times this morning!
Now your kids threw it on the ground.
Keep an eye on your kids! Please understand how difficult
my situation is!
My kids didn't do it
Come here kid! I told you not to leave the room!
You have to wash it again or I'll tell the commandant!
Be careful! Latifeh is not an ordinary Latifeh which you think...
It was not my kids...
Then was it my kid'?
Look, the others have done so many things,
did you say anything to them?
Was it my kid? My kid! Keep your kids in check!??
I will piss on any kid who does this to me.
For me, there is no difference if I am a prisoner or free.
Because I have seen the worst days in this world.
It doesn't matter if my child blames me. God understands.
God knows what my problem was.
I will tell him that I was in the prison.
His father didn't take care of us. How could I feed him?
I'll tell him he would have died if I hadn't sold him.
Now he is alive wherever he is, but if he was with me he would die.
Look how they are calling their relatives.
But I don't have anyone to call.
Everyone speaks with her parents or husband.
But I don't have parents or anyone else.
You have to return all things you have from the prison.
Bring all her bags.
This is my ID.
So she was 16 years old...
Bring over her other bag.
I took three or four blankets. I gave two of them to Rahila,
and one is on the floor.
I mean, take even the other blanket!
I don't want to take it. Is it nice?
Yes. Why won't you take it then?
No, I will leave it to... Do you wish to come back?
God forbid! Don't even leave a needle here.
First! Don't leave anything. Second! Don't take anything.
Third! Never come back here for visiting anyone, understood?
And if you see me on the streets, call me, I will see you in private.
Here, take my ring. Come on.
It just looks like gold, ok? She's acting as my mother in law.
Here you are.
Didn't you give it to him? I did.
But he said that he wasn't able to answer it.
He told me to give it back.
Javid couldn't answer it'? No, he did not want to.
Why? I don't know.
What shall I do now?
Did you explain to him'?
Yes I did, but it doesn't matter anymore.
Are you going Sara? I don't know dear aunt.
God pave the way for you.
Oh God! He won't marry me. I will be killed'
You are a single girl now, so why are you crying'?
There are dozens of boys outside. Never worry.
You don't have a child to worry about. Don't worry.
People are looking for daughter-in-laws like you,
but can't find any.
Javid won't be able to find a wife like you.
Now that he doesn't want you anymore, he'll never be happy ever again.
Your honour was the honour of that fucking man.
Your success was the honour of that fucking man.
When he disgraces you, God will disgrace him for ever.
Never cry anymore. Go on like a lion.
You did good in fleeing, you did absolutely right!
Never cry! Go and live like a lion!
Sara come out!
Don't cry and God help you not to come back to the prison.
Please forgive me if I had said anything wrong.
I have already forgiven you. God help us all to be released.
Stop crying please. Stan laughing!
Nadjibeh, forgive me please.
What shall I do now that you are leaving?
Stop crying, God is kind. You will go out too.
Our beautiful bride is leaving us. We will be separated!
Do not cry when you are leaving! Our land fills with flowers
in your steps.
Javid'?
Let's go!
Come on!
Sara'?
Sara never saw Javid again. She now lives in a women's shelter.
Javid got married 3 months later.
His family forced him to marry another woman.
Nadjibeh was moved to a prison in Kabul.
She has eight years left on her sentence.
Sima is still in Takhar prison. She has 15 more years to serve.
