Action, Comedy, Fantasy

Hasan and Davod are two friends of old times who are living together. Hasan is continuously writing screenplays which are all about a dark and bitter space, so the producers do not want them. Hasan loves Mahshid who is the daughter of a wealthy family. Due to his financial situation, Hasan is humiliated by Mahshid's uncle who is taking care of her. Hasan who is upset about this condition, decides to write a screenplay favorite to the producers so he writes it and goes to a producer who has always rejected his screenplays. He begins reading his new screenplay to him. When he finishes reading the screenplay, the producer buys it enthusiastically so Hasan can be wealthy too.

Plot

Enjoyably absurd comedy about a young screenplay writer, Hasan, who can only catch a break in one place - his dreams. Unsuccessful in his writing ambitions, and unsuccessful in his romantic advances towards Mahshid, Hasan begins to live out his fantasies though his writing. A story-within-a-story then unfolds to great effect as Hasan describes the plot of a film to his producer, and the luckless writer turns into a classic action hero. Expect to laugh as a plot unfolds that is just as fantastical as Hasan's real life is ordinary.
