There, he comes across a young girl who is determined to commit suicide. He follows her. She fails to commit suicide three times. The fourth time while she is about to jump off the roof of a building, he arrives and tries to prevent her. They talk to each other and meanwhile he finds out that she has problem with men, all men, her father, brother, her boyfriend and all others and that she is fed up with people's attitude towards girls like her. At that moment, we see them swap places and the young filmmaker is in front of the camera. Then, he talks about his own problems which seem very similar to the girl`s and now he wants to jump off the roof. She runs to him and we see the boy being hurled down the building. The boy dies. The girl edits his film, registers it at some festivals and wins several awards. In an interview, she claims that she has gone through so many hardships to make the film. Author and Director : Ziya Homayoon Razor, Cloud, Mouse - 37 minutes 2) Behzad VAZIRI brings his moving story 'SONGS WE SANG TOGETHER`, qualified by Kiarostami as "a marvel". Born 1970, Behzad Vaziri is a veterinary medicine assistant. He is contributing with IRIB as a filmmaker and well-known in Iran for his excellent script-writing. In this film, a young boy who has lost his hands and eyes because of a mine explosion, is been educated by a kind teacher. But the father and the principal are against the teacher. Film is a cross between documentary, fiction and poetic.
