The Koker Trilogy

The Koker trilogy is a series of three films directed by acclaimed Iranian film-maker Abbas Kiarostami: Where Is the Friend's Home? (1987), Life, and Nothing More... (a.k.a. And Life Goes On, 1992) and Through the Olive Trees (1994). Where Is the Friend's Home? depicts the simple story of a young boy who travels from Koker to a neighbouring village to return the notebook of a schoolmate. Life and Nothing More follows a father and his young son as they drive from Tehran to Koker in search of the two young boys from Where Is the Friend's Home?, fearing that the two might have perished in the 1990 Iran earthquake that killed 50,000 people in northern Iran. Through the Olive Trees examines the making of a small scene from Life, forcing the viewer to witness a peripheral drama from Life as the central drama in Olive.
