A movie crew wants to make a movie in a location hit by earthquake one year ago. During the production, we find out that Hossein, the actor selected for the movie, has asked for marriage just before the earthquake with the actress, Tahereh, who lost her parents in the earthquake, and now that they play in this movie, it’s another opportunity for Hossein to ask for her marriage again. Last time, his proposal was rejected because he didn’t have house but now that nobody has house, he might have a chance. Their affair is interfering with the movie making as the movie making in their affair, and this is building the story line.
Through the Olive Trees depicts intimate and beautiful scenes from villagers and their surrounding despite the destruction caused by earthquake. Their life is calm and slow and closer to the rhythm of the nature and this not only attracts the movie crew in a way that they become part of their life but also the viewer. You might think at the beginning what a basic and primitive life they have but step by step you get closer to their life and you see how full and rich it is. We see that the life continues one year after the earthquake with all its beauties. Villagers don’t care about the production of the movie and it’s difficulties. They even don’t care about earthquake and death. They are just occupied with life and all its burdens and beauties. Among all these, we see also a love story. Hossein’s love to Tahereh and his persistence to marry her are convincing. We wish them to marry. Hossein's love and the pictures of this movie will stay in your mind.
