'The Life Ahead’, directed by Loren's son Edoardo Ponti, is an adaptation of Romain Gary’s novel ‘La vie devant soi’.
The movie is a story of family and friendship that has political undertones, in which Loren plays 'Madame Rosa', a Holocaust survivor who forges a bond with a 12-year-old Senegalese immigrant boy named Momo.
It is Karimi's first international presence in a foreign movie set to be released in March 2020. Besides the 84-year-old Loren, Karimi will also appear alongside Spanish actress Abril Zamora, Italy’s Renato Carpentieri and non-professional child actor Ibrahima Gueye.
Among the long list of movies with the Iranian actor starring in them, are ‘The Past’, 'The Salesman’ and ‘A Separation’ by Oscar-winning Asghar Farhadi as well as ‘Secret Ballot’, ‘Fish & Cat’, ‘A Wedding’ and ‘Invasion’.
