Through the Olive Trees

  • Abbas Kiarostami
  • 1994
  • 1h 43m
  • Iran, France

Life and art merge in a wonderful recording of a love story on and off-camera, a rare parallel and two-fold approach to the concept of erotic desire that survives in the wreckage of an earthquake-stricken region.

Synopsis

The relationship between Abbas Kiarostami and his actors during the filming of his previous film "And Life Goes On", focusing on the film's newly married couple and the actor's attempt to actually marry his co-worker.
