A mock documentary about an American filmmaker who wants to produce a film about the real-life story of Merhan "Alfred" Nasseri, a refugee from Iran who, through a series of bureaucratic snafus and the theft of his identification papers, has been stranded in Charles de Gaulle airport since 1988. Nasseri is reluctant to take part, but the pushy director will stop at nothing to see his vision come to life.

Mehran Karimi Nasseri
Mehran Karemi Nasseri, who now goes by the name "Sir Alfred", has been living in the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France. For the past twelve years he has been waiting for the document that would allow him to leave. Unlike the story that has been told in the world press of a man trapped in the underground terminals of an airport, dubbed the, "strangest case in immigration history", this documentary examines the life of a man whose only aspiration is to be somebody else.
