In a film that blurs the line between fiction and reality, a man named Hossein Sabzian impersonates a famous Iranian film director, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, with the dream of becoming involved in the world of cinema. He charmingly chats with a family, the Ahankhah family, who fall into his trap, believing they are on the brink of a film project. However, this game of masks quickly unravels when the truth comes to light and Hossein is arrested for his deceptions.
The film becomes a fascinating social and psychological study, exploring themes of desire, aspirations, and the obsession with fame. As the story unfolds, we witness how his actions impact not only his life but also the lives of those he deceived. The camera's gaze turns into a character in itself, capturing both the vulnerability of its characters and the complexity of human relationships in the face of the illusions of cinema.
The reality of the documentary is intertwined with dramatization, taking the viewer on an introspective journey that raises questions about identity, the role of art in life, and the shocking consequences of lies. The result is a unique cinematic experience that lingers in the mind long after the credits have rolled.
