The Actor, Honarpisheh (1993) dir. Mohsen Makhmalbaf

It is about a burly film actor who wants to act only in art films but is forced by his family s economic demands to do a string of trashy commercial movies. His tormented wife, infertile and obsessed with having a baby, insists that her husband marry and impregnate a second wife, a deafmute Gypsy, to provide them with a child.
