Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In 'F for Fake', a free-form sort-of documentary by Orson Welles, the legendary filmmaker (and self-described charlatan) gleefully reengages with the central preoccupation of his career: the tenuous lines between illusion and truth, art and lies.

Beginning with portraits of the world-renowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles embarks on a dizzying journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripes - not the least of whom is Welles himself. Charming and inventive, 'F for Fake' is an inspired prank and a clever examination of the essential duplicity of cinema.

Toby (Adam Driver), a cynical advertising director, finds himself trapped in the outrageous delusions of a Spanish cobbler (Jonathan Pryce) who believes himself to be Don Quixote.
