After Michael Connor's girlfriend leaves him, he decides to make a film about her in the hopes that someone will recognize her and convince her to give him another chance. After hiring an actress to play the role of his girlfriend he gets a major dose of reality as she points out over and over all the mistakes he made as a boyfriend.
This clandestine documentary, shot partially on an iPhone and smuggled into France on a usb drive hidden in a cake for a last-minute submission to Cannes, depicts the day-to-day life of acclaimed director Jafar Panahi (Offside, The Circle) during his house arrest in his Tehran apartment. While appealing his 2010 sentence (six years in prison and a 20-year ban from filmmaking, interviews or leaving the country) Panahi is seen talking to his family and lawyer on the phone, and discussing his plight with his friend and collaborator, Mirtahmasb.
