Separation

When an Iranian housewife (Leila Hatami) seeks a divorce from her bank employee husband (Peyman Moaadi) because he is unwilling to move with her and their 11-year-old daughter (Sarina Farhadi) to another country to improve their life in this insightful, poignant, heartbreaking, realistic, Golden Globe winning and Oscar-winning film dominated by empathetic characters, the separated couple ends up conflicting with a pregnant, stressed out caretaker (Sareh Bayat) and her unemployed husband (Shahab Hosseini) after she accuses the husband of killing her unborn baby after a physical altercation while caring for his Alzheimer's-afflicted father (Ali-Asghar Shahbazi).
