Short description
A married couple are faced with a difficult decision - to improve the life of their child by moving to another country or to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent who has Alzheimer's disease.
What's left behind the scenes
- The image of a man washing his father, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, was the first thing that came to director Asghar Farhadi's mind. He built the entire plot of the film around this image.
- Practically the entire film was shot with a handheld camera.
- The first film by an Iranian director to win a Golden Globe Award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
- The first Iranian film to receive an Academy Award (Oscar).
- The news that Asghar Farhadi’s film had won an Academy Award (Oscar) was reported only once on Iranian television.
- In Iran, the film was released under the title “The Divorce of Nader and Simin.” The English title of the film retained only the word “Divorce.”
