Nasseredin, Shah of Iran, has 84 wives and 200 children. He hates cinema until he discovers " Lor’s Daughter ", the first Iranian talkie. He madly falls in love with Golnar, the heroine of the film. His passion is so strong that he is ready to renounce his kingdom and his harem. He becomes an actor for his beloved. Mohsen Makhmalbaf uses stock-shots from the main landmark films of Iranian cinema and, with imaginativeness, inserts them into an his torical re-creation of Shah Nasseredin’s reign.

"As it is depicted in this film, cinema before the revolution can be divided in two categories: on one hand the ‘Farsi’ films and on the other hand ‘different’ films. The different films (motafavet) were inspired by Italian neorealism and French New Wave. The uniqueness of our cinema before the revolution was to only have these two trends." Mohsen Makhmalbaf
