I Want to Be a King plot

Several years ago, two German tourists knocked on the door of Abbas Barzegar's modest farmhouse near Shiraz. Barzegar offered them shelter and the meal his wife had just prepared. The tourists ate with great relish, and news that Barzegar served Iran's tastiest food soon spread. The humble farmer developed into a real businessman with a well-functioning, increasingly modern equipped holiday residence that offers guests "the authentic Iran". Documentary maker Mehdi Ganji shows how hard the family has to work to meet all the demand. In front of the camera, Barzegar tells in detail about his ambitious ambition: to found an archaic nomadic tribe, so that he can take his guests back to times long gone like in a time machine. He is only looking for a woman who can be queen of the tribe by his side.
