After spending time in prison for political dissidence, Makhmalbaf discovered the social potential of the cinema. Some of his projects include Marriage of the Blessed and The Actor. While creating around 20 films, the outspoken director established new ideas about the nature of his work. In this release, Makhmalbaf speaks about art, human behavior, and his evolving fundamentalist beliefs.

Фильм об авантюристе, который выдал себя за знаменитого режиссера Мохсена Махмальбафа, проник в зажиточный дом (якобы для съемок) и был арестован по подозрению в мошенничестве и грабеже. Судебный процесс составляет сюжетную канву фильма, но истинный его предмет — это особый статус кино в Иране. Кинематограф здесь стал не только частью духовной жизни элиты, но и элементом личного и национального престижа, достоянием широких масс.

The wife of Nasim, an Afghan immigrant in Iran, is gravely ill. He needs money to pay for her care, but his day labor digging wells does not pay enough. A friend connects Nasim to a two-bit promoter who sells tickets to watch Nasim ride a bicycle continuously for a week. The promoter brings in sick and aged spectators, haranguing them to find hope in Nasim's strength. Aided by his son, who feeds him as he rides, Nasim grinds out the days and shivering nights. Local officials believe this may be a plot and Nasim may be a spy; they try to sabotage him as do those who bet he won't finish the week. Will desperation alone get Nasim the money? Is any triumph an illusion?
