Plot.
A once-powerful, but now ailing movie director nears the end of his life. As he awaits death, he slips into a "dream" and is shown three "snippets" of the movie of his son's life. At first suspicious, then curious, and ultimately captivated, he watches his son's growth from mid-teens to mid-thirties as the son pursues his life-long love, Isabelle. The two constants through these snippets are his pursuit of Isabelle and the imagined voice of his father, telling him that he is worthless and unwanted. It is not until the story reaches its conclusion, that the old man discovers the surprising truth about his son and himself.

Wiki.
Illusion is a 2004 American drama film directed by Michael Goorjian in his feature directorial debut. The screenplay, written by Goorjian, Ron Marasco, Chris Horvath, and Tressa DiFiglia, is loosely based on Pierre Corneille's 17th-century play L'Illusion Comique. The film stars Kirk Douglas, Goorjian, Marasco, and Karen Tucker. It tells the story of a legendary film director who is shown three visions of the life of the son he never knew.
The film had its world premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 23, 2004, where it received the Screenwriting Award. It began a limited theatrical release in the United States on February 17, 2006.
