Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for the movie that made the Iranian Asghar Farhadi internationally famous and reflected the painful process of a divorce as a race of self-determination and survival in an authoritarian and fundamentalistic state.

Synopsis

A man is bound by his sick father and does not want to abandon him. His wife leaves him and their daughter, hoping her mother will soon come back, stays with him temporarily. Unable to take care of his old father alone, he hires a woman to take care of him. What he doesn't know is that this woman works without her husband's permission while being pregnant. Without realizing it, he's captured in a web of lies and social disputes.
