Zire darakhatan zeyton

Synopsis

Amidst the poignant aftermath of the devastating 1990 earthquake in Northern Iran, a director endeavors to cast a young couple for his new film. The audition process for *Zire darakhatan zeyton* (Under the Olive Trees) unfolds with a quiet intensity, as the lines between the actors' real-life struggles and the roles they are meant to portray begin to blur. This evocative drama, the final installment in a thematic trilogy, subtly explores the persistent human spirit, the nature of storytelling, and the enduring power of connection in the face of profound loss, all through a deceptively simple yet deeply resonant narrative.
