). With the divorce process on, Simin moves to her mother’s place with Termeh. This leaves Nader with the option of hiring a domestic help, Razieh (Sareh Bayat) for all the household chores and especially taking care of his Alzheimer’s struck father (Ali-Asghar Shahbazi).

), who complicates the matter further on discovering his wife’s difficult job of taking care of an elderly man, who’s not so well.
The complex plot of modernity and old beliefs lead to bigger troubles when a verbal fight of words and later pushing Razieh by Nader happens during an argument. Brilliant acting by the Iranian crew and superb handling of the subject by director

It is a masterpiece that is worth watching.Â
