In this documentary-style film, which reconstructs events leading up to a trial and includes footage of actual trial proceedings, Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami tells the story of unemployed Iranian man, Hossain Sabzian, who insinuated himself into the lives of a well-to-do Iranian family by posing as famous Iranian director Moshen Makhmalbaf and promising their son a prominent role in his next film.
