A Separation
A SEPARATION, a suspenseful and intelligent drama detailing the fractures and tensions at the heart of Iranian society.
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. The compelling narrative is driven by a taut and finely written script rooted in the particularities of Iranian society but which transcends its setting to create a stunning morality play with universal resonance. Winner of the Golden Bear in Berlin and the Academy Award for best foreign language film. (source: www.artificial-eye.com, adapted)
