August 30, 2012 from 7:30 p.m.–9:30 p.m.

Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Language Film, A Separation is set in contemporary Iran and presents a compelling drama about the dissolution of a marriage. Simin wants to leave Iran with her husband Nadar and daughter Termeh. Simin sues for divorce when Nadar refuses to leave behind his Alzheimer-suffering father. Her request having failed, Simin returns to her parents’ home, but Termeh decides to stay with Nadar.

When Nadar 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. However, when he discovers that the new maid has been lying to him, he realizes that there is more on the line than just his marriage.
