In another film, a woman asks (-5[1])a man next to her on a bus where he bought a screenplay by this director, only (10[1])for him to tell her that he is this director. This director says “even I’m tired of being [me]” when meeting Hossain Sabzian, who tricked a family into believing he was this director.
