Life and Nothing More…/…And Life Goes On
Synopsis
After the earthquake of Guilan, a film director and his son travel to the devastated area to search for the actors from the movie the director made there a few years previously. In their search, they see how people who have lost everything in the earthquake still have hope and try to live life to the fullest.
Cinematic DNA
When I started my career and was making my first film, Dancing in the Dust, I watched your films Life and Nothing More… and Taste of Cherry several times. Your films had a great influence on me, in the way they created a certain balance between documentary and fiction.
