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.

Cinema Atlas Connection
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.
