Abbas Kiarostami films children in an elementary school.

It's interesting to play with duration and film in close up because in current cinematic practice, this method is barely used. But Homework obeys no rules. You learn the rules but you eventually reach a point where you have to forget them and approach the process of mise en scène with all your heart and your own feelings.
