A Frame of Mementos

ifilmEnglish

A stone's throw away from Imam Reza's shrine in Mashhad, there stands a hotel where many travelers have weird and wonderful experiences, returning home with renewed faith and a photograph taken at Mr. Razi's shop. For some prayers are answered, sometimes lessons are learnt and for others, wounds are healed.

00:00Give me a little smile. Yes, yes.

00:04When my mother said she came here to take a picture 25 years ago, I didn't believe her.

00:08And then she gave me the receipt. I didn't dare hope you'd still have it.

00:12Have you heard that your grandfather's planning on selling the shop?

00:14I took a picture of you and your husband 25 years ago.

00:19Hello. The shop next door, that's yours.

00:24Whatever happens, every incident has a reason.

00:29Did you take all these pictures yourself?

00:31Back then, many people came and took pictures that never came.

00:35It's not like I wanted to buy it for less than it's worth and try and trick him.

00:37You're so clever, you could have talked him out of it.

00:39If you see a blind man and a pit and say nothing...

00:44It's a sin!

00:45Well done!

00:47Mister, did you find any money around here?

00:49Has something happened?

00:51You're looking for somewhere.

00:52Bad and good are what we create.

00:59They're the result of our own actions.

01:01We're the ones that create bad and good.

01:04Then you're looking for somewhere else.

01:05And you look, cause we have to have to.

01:13If we can get you and think of them that they would choose you,

01:14we'll see you later.

01:16Now, let's go ahead and look.

01:17The more that we take pictures of our lives,

01:19we'll see you later.

01:20I'm gonna grab my face.

01:22I'm gonna go ahead and look.

01:24I'm gonna grab my face.

01:24You'll see you later.

01:25See you later.

01:26I'm gonna grab my face,

01:27and there's a good picture.

01:28I'm gonna go ahead and look.
