Acerca deste filme

This clandestine documentary, shot partially on an iPhone and smuggled into France 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 sentence -- six years in prison and a 20 year ban from filmmaking -- Panahi is seen talking to his family and lawyer on the phone, discussing his plight with Mirtahmasb and reflecting on the meaning of the art of filmmaking. - Wide Management 2011
