"This is the scene at the end of Abbas Kiarostami's film "Close-Up", when Hossain Sabzian has just been released from prison. He had been charged with fraud after pretending to be the filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf to earn the respect of the Ahankah family. When he is released from prison, the actual filmmaker Makhmalbaf picks Sabzian up and drives him - flowers in hand - on his motorbike through the streets of Tehran to go ask the forgiveness of the Ahankhahs."
