What happens

And Life Goes On (Persian: زندگی و دیگر هیچ Zendegi va digar hich; also called Life, and Nothing More...) is a 1992 Iranian film directed by Abbas Kiarostami. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. It is the second film in Kiarostami's so-called Koker trilogy. After the 1990 earthquake in Iran that killed over 30,000 people, Kiarostami went to search for the stars of his previous film Where Is the Friend's Home?; this film is a semi-fictional work based on that search. Shot in a documentary style, it shows a director (played by Farhad Kheradmand) on this journey through the country in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
