Set in modern-day Iran, thisgripping human drama follows the story of Nader (Peyman Moaadi) who is accused of causing his maid, Razieh (Sareh Bayat) to suffer a miscarriage after he throws her out for locking up his elderly father (Ali-Asghar Shahbazi) and stealing money. It is then up to Nader’s estranged wife Simin (Leila Hatami) to discover the truth.
Despite its title, this is film is more than just about the end of a marriage, it is the classic tale of one person’s word against another. The focus is upon characters rather than politics and presents a different side to Iranian society that is not seen in news reports.
