Synopsis

Unfolding behind the scenes of “And Life Goes On," this film traces the complications that arise when the romantic misfortune of one of the actors—a young man who pines for the woman cast as his wife, even though, in real life, she will have nothing to do with him—creates turmoil on set and leaves the hapless director caught in the middle. Through the Olive Trees, an ineffably lovely, gentle human comedy steeped in the folkways of Iranian village life, peels away layer after layer of artifice as it investigates the elusive, alchemical relationship between cinema and reality.
