Mojtaba, Hamzeh, Zar are among other individuals who have been thrown into prison and ideologically interrogated in Iran. In this documentary, the director wants them to interrogate him as agents of the Islamic Republic might. He would like the real torturer in Iran to see himself through the film as if in a mirror. The violent experience of putting themselves in the torturer's head confronts them with their own limits and the ambivalence of the project itself.

Antes de abandonar os palcos por problemas neurológicos em 1972, Thelonious Monk fez sua última apresentação três anos antes, em Paris. Na ocasião, após o show, Monk se dirigiu para um canal de televisão francês onde seria entrevistado e tocaria algumas músicas. Devido a sua situação mental, o programa não chegou a ser exibido. Monk fala pouco, se expressa com um mínimo de palavras e não consegue desenvolver um papo fluente com o jornalista, mas sua capacidade musical ainda está intacta. Este é o registro do ocaso comovente de um gênio que pouco a pouco nos deixava.
