A Separation



Asghar Farhadi : 2011
Jodaeiye Nader az Simin

When his wife leaves him, Nader hires a young woman to take care of his suffering father. But he doesn't know his new maid is not only pregnant, but also working without her unstable husband's permission. Soon, Nader finds himself entangled in a web of lies, manipulation and public confrontations. A suspenseful and intelligent drama detailing the fractures and tensions at the heart of Iranian society. The compelling narrative is driven by a taut and finely written script rooted in the particular of Iranian society but which transcends its setting to create a stunning morality play with universal resonance. Winner of the Golden Bear at Berlin Film Festival 2011.
