In Tehran , journalist Farazmand went to report on the arrest of young José Sabzian for fraud. It turned out that the unemployed painter Sabzian was a movie fan. He claimed to be the famous director Muhsin Makmalbaf, and obtained the trust of the wealthy Ahan Kahe family and borrowed money from them to make the film. After the incident, Sabzion was arrested. Director Abbas Kiarostami launched a documentary-like follow-up on the case, interviewing the police, the Ahankah family, and Sabzian himself.
During the interrogation, Sabzian regretted defrauding the Ahankahe family, but said he did so because of his love for art, and if he had money, he would really make his own film. And, posing as director Marc Malbaf gave him confidence. In the end, the plaintiff Ahan Kah's family dropped the lawsuit, and Sabzian also met the real Mark Malbaf, who took the young man on a motorcycle to revisit Ahan Kah.
