Set in contemporary Iran, A Separation is a compelling drama about the dissolution of a marriage. Simin wants to leave Iran with her husband Nader and daughter Termeh. Simin sues for divorce when Nader refuses to leave behind his Alzheimer-suffering father. Her request having failed, Simin returns to her parents' home, but Termeh decides to stay with Nader.When Nader hires a young woman to assist with his father in his wife's absence, he hopes that his life will return to a normal state. However, when he discovers that the new maid has been lying to him, he realizes that there is more on the line than just his marriage.
A Separation won the Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film in 2012, making it the first Iranian film to receive this honor. At the 61st Berlin International Film Festival, it became the first Iranian film to win the Golden Bear for Best Film and also secured Silver Bears for Best Actress and Best Actor. Additionally, it won the Golden Globe® for Best Foreign Language Film.
"It's a mystery wrapped inside an enigmatic nation, flawlessly acted and difficult to predict. I'm always impressed when a movie informs about a foreign culture while it entertains, and this one is powerful art in that regard." —Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times
