Synopsis
Hasan is a down on his luck filmmaker: the government has blacklisted him, his muse is considering going to work for other directors, his wife’s been flirting with another guy and, to make things worse, a serial killer is bumping off the most important filmmakers in Iran except for him. Mani Haghighi, who put his insatiable imagination to the test in A Dragon Arrives!, delights us with this black comedy about cinema itself and the trouble our ego gets us into.
