The film will rerun the next day on Sunday January 6th at 04:00, 10:00 and 16:00 all GMT times.

A brief synopsis of the flick reads, ‘Kourosh Zand is a cinema superstar whose wealth and fame has made an arrogant man out of him, kind of a Don Juan. On the set of his new movie, a young teenage girl approaches him and claims to be his daughter. He denies having any relations with her as he was told his unwanted child had been aborted."

While puzzled by his current situation, he must also try to appease another woman that he knows from his days of shame. He fails to do so and now he is on the run from her as she has bounced one of his checks.’

Internationally acclaimed actor and Cannes winner, Shahab Hosseini, plays the role of this famous yet infamous young star.

He won the Best Actor in a leading role award from the 27th edition of the Fajr Film Festival for his brilliant performance in the film.

Fariba Kosari, Sara Khoiniha, Mohammad-Reza Sharifinia, Nasrin Moqanlou, Afsaneh Bayegan, Narges Mohammadi, Fattaneh Malek-Mohammadi and Leila Zare are also among the cast members of the weekend treat.

ifilm viewers need to know that the film has also won two awards from the 2009 edition of Dhaka International Film Festival.
