Set in contemporary Iran, A Separation is a compelling drama about the dissolution of a marriage. Simin (Hatami) wants to leave Iran with her husband Nader (Moadi) and daughter Termeh (Farhadi) and 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. (Gary Reber)
