The Last Illusion

Format project was originally shot in: 16 mm

Synopsis:
Why should Nima, a world renowned illusionist fall to pieces four hours before his sold out comeback show? The self serving producers blame technical problems for the failures he experienced during the rehearsal. Nima, however, is convinced that he has lost his Magical Power and is no longer capable of creating illusions. Beyond material success and public admiration, the camera moves into Nima's inner world of emotional detachment and denial. The viewer follows Nima's lonely search for answers through dream sequences and subconscious snap shots where the enormous and crippling burden Nima has carried through out his life is revealed. Will Nima acknowledge the truth behind all the glitter and fame, in time to save the show?
