“A Childless Village” is a small rural village, where no children have been born for a while and all the men assume that it is the fault of the women. Two decades ago, old filmmaker Kazem came to this remote rural village to make a documentary about the sterility of the village women. But the village women wanted to protect their dignity, so they stole and burnt the footage. By today the villagers have found out that the men are barren and there is nothing wrong with the women. With the help of his assistant, Kazem tries to record some interviews with the infertile men to unfold the truth in a new movie, but this turns out in many ways to be a Mission: Impossible.

Jafar Panahi sets out to find a young woman with a golden voice that has been forbidden to sing by Iranian authorities. Social films are inspired by the director's "sensations" and "experiences." These sensations/experiences erode the soul of the filmmaker until they can be released into a movie. This is the reason why a filmmaker cannot be told to make or not make a movie. Telling them not to film will never breach their resistance; neither will it close all the paths leading to making a movie. The opposite is equally true: if they are commissioned a movie, something resists inside them and prevents them from making it!
