How every film is hand-scored →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.
Our read · And Life Goes On (1992) reads as a neutral, slow-burn, grounded drama entry — gentle in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
