:30:05
How old's your baby?
:30:07
One year old.
:30:10
My grandson is 6 years old.
:30:12
But his parents
won't let me see him.

:30:15
They say that my accent
will affect his!

:30:17
What do you mean?
:30:18
l embarrass them.
:30:20
Where do you come from ?
:30:21
Kermanshah.
:30:23
l'm not from here either.
:30:26
But who really is anyway?
:30:29
One out of 1000?
:30:31
Do you realize what it means
to me not to see my grandson?

:30:36
Just so his accent won't change!
:30:38
They also want me to change
the way l dress, but l won't.

:30:41
l can't change at this age.
:30:45
l made so many sacrifices
for them.

:30:48
l sent them to university.
:30:51
And that's how they thank me.
:30:59
They don't oven let me
talk to the neighbors.

:31:05
l feel like a bird in a cage.
:31:08
They don't introduce me
when their friends come over

:31:12
or they pretend
that l'm one of the neighbors.

:31:16
So every morning,
l pack my things up

:31:20
and l go to Parliament Square
to take the bus

:31:23
which goes to my daughter's town.
:31:26
But then l think of her husband
:31:28
Who would wonder why l've come.
:31:32
So l spend the day on a bench
:31:34
and l go to my son's house
when it gets dark.

:31:37
Be patient.
:31:38
Patient?
l can't take this anymore.

:31:42
l can't go on.
:31:44
They're only young.
:31:47
Shall l die so they understand?
:31:52
l only have
a few more years left.

:31:55
l've had it this time.
:31:58
l'll go to the bus station
