As the end of the village trilogy, Abbas also ended the film. "Where Is My Friend's Home" is a fictional realism, and "Life and Life" is a realism combining reality and fiction created on the basis of the previous work. And this film is to overthrow the reality of the second part and return to the fictional realism. The overthrow is in the form of a play within a play. The young man who just got married who went downstairs and put on his shoes and left in "Life and Growth" became the male protagonist of this film, and his wife in the previous work became his love object in this film . The "director" in the previous film became an actor in this film. In this film, they restored the shooting process of the man going downstairs and wearing shoes and leaving and the living conditions behind the scenes in the previous film.
After the earthquake, a film crew came to a certain mountain village to prepare a film, which is the previous work "Life and Flow". The director decided to use non-professional actors as always. The director had chosen the actors and actresses, but something went wrong when filming the scene where the man goes downstairs and puts on his shoes to leave. Actor Hussein finds out that actress Tahli is the object of his crush. But Taheli was indifferent to him, even ostracized, which made their rivalry impossible. Then Hussein told the director that he used to be a bricklayer, illiterate, illiterate, poor family, and had no house of his own. But he fell in love with Taheri, who was literate, read, and had a wealthy family next door. His confession was opposed by Taheri's family and fired by his employer. As a result, there was an earthquake that day, and his family died, leaving only his grandmother in Taheri's family. Hussein thought it was retribution, if the Taheli family hadn't rejected him, maybe there wouldn't be an earthquake (good solipsist). After the earthquake, he confessed to Taheli, but he was also rejected. When the director's car picked up a group of refugee families, when the director asked Hussein if he was interested in the family's daughter, Hussein said that he did not want to marry an illiterate because he was illiterate. Education is not good... He also put forward the theory that the proletarian and the landlord marry, the illiterate and the literate, and the poor and the rich to promote social progress. In the eyes of the director, he is an ignorant and lovable idealist.
Then they continued to shoot. Hussein always took the time to confess to Taheri after NG, saying that he would work hard, make money to build a house, and would not let her do housework, etc., but Taheri always just read books no respond. They kept saying the wrong lines. Hussein always turned the lines of his dead 65 relatives into 25 in reality, which led to constant NG. Taheri always forgets to add the word Mr. when calling Hussein, which leads to constant NG. Their thoughts had already been emotionally chaotic, and the director finally ended the filming wisely.
In the end, Hussein confessed to Taheri all the way home, but Taheri did not respond. They walked through the classic Z-shaped hillside and woods, and finally, under the panoramic overhead shot, Hussein, who followed Taheri farther and farther, suddenly turned around and ran back frantically. The ending has a similar effect. Did she finally agree? Abbas did not give an answer, and all the answers were filled in by the audience themselves.
