Synopsis
Written and directed by Asghar Farhadi, A SEPARATION is a
suspenseful and intelligent drama detailing the fractures and
tensions at the heart of Iranian society.
When his wife (Leila Hatami) leaves him, Nader (Peyman Moadi) hires
a young woman, Razieh (Sareh Bayat), to look after his ill father
(Ali-Asghar Shahbazi). But he doesn’t know his new maid is not
only pregnant, but also working without her unstable husband’s (Shahab
Hosseini) permission. Soon, Nader finds himself entangled in a web
of lies manipulation and public confrontations.
A SEPARATION is the first Iranian film ever to be awarded the Golden
Bear at the 2011 Berlin Film Festival.
