About
A Tehran couple separates over leaving Iran; care for Nader's father brings a religious caregiver into their conflict.
Nader and Simin, a middle-class couple in Tehran, live with their ten-year-old daughter Termeh and Nader's father, who has Alzheimer's disease. Simin has arranged visas and wants the family to begin a new life abroad. Nader is reluctant to leave and wants to look after his father. Simin files for divorce, but the family court finds her grounds insufficient and rejects the request. She moves back to her parents' home; Termeh remains with Nader. Nader employs Razieh, a religious woman from a poor suburb far away, to look after his father during the day. Razieh brings her young daughter Somayeh with her. The work soon proves hard for her, especially because the old man is incontinent. One day while Razieh and Somayeh are occupied, he leaves the flat and walks into the street; Razieh runs after him through the traffic.
