Fake plot

Documentary about the Japanese Beethoven, as Mamoru Samuragôchi was called in his home country. For years he was known as one of the best composers in Japan, even though he was deaf. But after a bizarre revelation from someone who claimed that he wrote all the music for Mamoru Samuragôchi for years and that the composer was not deaf at all, he lost his status and became the laughingstock of Japan. In addition to this scandal, "Fake" also revolves around the role of the media. Can it be objective and neutral?
