Asghar Farhadi, an Iranian Oscar-winning director, is expected to win the awards this year.
Farhadi won the Oscar for his best foreign-language film "The Salesman," but boycotted the ceremony because of then US President Donald Trump's restriction on traveling to the United States from seven major Muslim nations, including Iran, reports Reuters.
Farhadi promotes his new film from a hotel room in West Hollywood and believes that if he is nominated again, these Oscars will be a different experience.
"It makes me very happy that as an Iranian I'm going through this path," he said.
"I know that for some Iranian youth, this can create hope... and this creates this satisfaction feeling inside me. It gives those young people some hope so they can continue this path and bring some awards and prizes to Iran."
Rahim, a prisoner who has worked for the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, has made a plan to sell a bag of gold coins to pay off his debts.
A sudden change of heart is evident, and he manages to track down the coin's owner. But being hailed as a hero is one of the most difficult things in the world.
"This contradiction that is inside this title is something that I liked a lot," Farhadi said.
"When I announced it for the first time, it was strange for some of my close friends, but when you add the main character to the title, the combination of these two creates a new dimension."
Farhadi has written short stories focusing on the challenges of being human.
"We wanted to give all the characters in the film a great amount of time to the audience to understand them and understand who they are," he said.
