Set in contemporary Iran, A SEPARATION is a compelling drama about the dissolution of a marriage. Simin wants to leave Iran with her husband Nader and daughter Termeh.

When Nader hires a young woman to assist with his father in his wife's absence, he hopes that his life will return to a normal state.
