When his wife leaves him, Nader hires a young woman to take care of his Alzheimer’s- suffering father. But Nader doesn’t know his new maid is hiding something… This Oscar-winning complex drama raises questions rather than imposing answers. A Separation is a whodunit in which it is harder to find the innocent than the culprits. The film was instantly proclaimed to be an absolute masterpiece. To many critics worldwide, it has been listed as the best film of 2011. Persian spoken.
