This is a "virtual room combination" film that mixes documentary and plot reality. An unemployed painter, Jose Sabzian, posing as well-known director Hessin Makmalbaf, is arrested and arrested by journalist Farazman. Germany as the subject of much coverage. True to the title of the film, the long shots in the film feature Sabzian's face during the trial. When asked why he pretended to be a director, made a movie at the Arkans' house and cheated money, the young man thought it was out of his love for film art, not intentional, because he was misidentified on the bus, It will be a mistake to experience the feeling of being rich once. "Before this, no one obeyed me, and most importantly, they supported me, and I fell into it." He knew and foreseen the possible consequences of his actions, but he did it anyway, only to experience "being" Respectful feeling", and there's no denying that he does want to make a movie of his own. "As soon as there is a grudge, art takes on a veil," Sabzian said in court, as Walter Benjamin wrote: "As long as a man knows how he has come to an end, he can Survive in a desperate situation. He survived in it because his hopeless life at this time is important. Here, sinking always means: touching the foundation of things." Until how he fell into the abyss step by step And soberly aware of this, it may not be a risky attempt for a poor young man who yearns for art. Because he understands pain, he wants to convey it to the society through his identity as a director. A director knows the suffering of society the most, and is keen Understanding its ills, and dealing with his experiences with other social classes, like his own, was the visceral driving force that drove him to pretend to be a director. At the end of the film, he was forgiven by the Akane family and released. The director he was playing, the real Mark Malbaf, came to pick him up from prison. This scene was shot in the car from a voyeuristic perspective, in the hustle and bustle of traffic. The voice was intermittent, and the two rode their motorcycles and went to apologize to the Akane family with a pot of flowers. This long shot includes close-up, close-up, medium-range, and long-range switching. Sabzion, who is sitting in the director's back seat, hides his repentance and powerlessness in the face covered by the bouquet. Life seems to have returned to its original point. But it was not where he was at the beginning. He was forgiven and given the possibility to have intimate contact with art. Life will always give those who face it bravely a little more tenacity. Life is never false. It receives people's lies every day, and it cannot fulfill more compassion and sympathy. Life is always what people want to see and are willing to treat with sincerity. life, it can be art, and it deserves to be gifted with flowers.

    An Abbas with a super-magical form and super-stupid content...a meta-film documentary about this movie should be a lot more exciting.

    I am a person who is very interested in art, and I have seen a lot of movies since I was a child. ...It's hard to play the director, despite my confidence and the respect they gave me, the hospitality they gave me...Before this, no one would have followed me to do these things because I was poor. But I pretend to be a celebrity and they will do what I say. But I left their house and I went back to the old me, it was night and when I took the money I realized I was still the old Sabjian... desperate little pocket money so he could go back to desolate home...I realize I'm still the same poor guy back in his social class alone. So, I would go to bed, and when I woke up, and I wanted to go there and do something for them, I wanted to go back even though it was really hard for me. Because of my passion for movies, and most importantly, because they respected me and supported me, I did get caught up in it. It encouraged me to work better, to be there, and even feel like I'm a real director, I'm a real Makmapaf, I feel like I'm a real director, it's really him...pretending to be a director is itself a show. ...
