Plot
Simin wants to leave the country with her husband, Nader, and his daughter, Termeh, because the first one does not want Termeh to grow under the prevailing conditions. This desire is not owned by Nader, who worries about his father, who lives with the family and suffers from Alzheimer's disease. When Nader decided to stay in Iran, Simin filed for divorce.
The family court judged the couple's problem insufficient to guarantee divorce and refused Simin's plea. She left her husband and daughter and returned with her parents. On Simin's recommendation, Nader hired Razieh, a very religious young woman from a poor suburb, to look after her father while she was at work. Razieh had applied for the job without consulting his angry husband, Hodjat, whose consent, according to tradition, would be necessary. His family is financially dependent on his job, and he brings his daughter home with him.
Razieh soon becomes overwhelmed by taking care of Nader's father, who is physically and emotionally demanding. She finds her work very hard, especially when she's pregnant. The job even tested his religious beliefs when the old man soaked himself, and he had to call a hotline to determine whether it would be a sin for him to clean it up.
One day, Nader and Termeh returned to find his grandfather lying unconscious on the floor in his bedroom, with one arm tied to the bed. Razieh can not be found. When he returns, Nader accuses him of neglecting his father and stealing money from his room (unbeknownst to Nader, Simin uses the money to pay the movers). Angry, Nader pushed Razieh out of the apartment. He fell on the steps outside. Hodjat's sister then called Simin to inform her that Razieh was in hospital because she had a miscarriage.
The prosecution was assigned to determine the cause of Nader's miscarriage and potential responsibility for it. If it proves that Nader knew about Razieh's pregnancy and caused a miscarriage, she could be punished for murder. Nader accuses Razieh of neglecting his father. The hot-headed and aggressive body physically confronts Nader on several occasions, and threatens him, his family, and the guru of Termeh, who testify on behalf of Nader. When Hodjat was arrested for another explosion, Razieh revealed that he had a mental disorder, and that he was undergoing therapy, which led to his release. Nader learned that the reason Razieh was absent that day was because he went to see a doctor, whom Razieh had avoided before. This news, combined with the explosive nature of Hodjat, caused Nader to wonder if Hodjat was physically abusive to Razieh and had caused her miscarriage.
Termeh protects the position of Nader with false statements and Simin, worrying about the safety of Termeh, attempts to arrange a financial deal with Razieh and Hodjat, to pay the blood money for the loss of their child. Nader was initially angered by Simin's suggestion, as he felt that it would be a guilty plea. But she also had to admit that she lied about her knowledge of Razieh's pregnancy. However, Razieh revealed to Simin that he had serious doubts about whether Nader's actions led to a miscarriage, considering he had been previously hit by a car while taking Nader's father when he came out of the apartment and first experienced symptoms of miscarriage that night.. Razieh worries that without the money Nader can provide inside or outside the court, Hodjat will not be able to repay the debtor, destroy their families. After another big argument, Simin forces Termeh to go with him. Nader agreed to the payment and asked Razieh to swear to the Qur'an that he was the cause of her miscarriage. Because he had doubts, he refused, though Hodjat tried to force him to avoid disrespect in front of his creditors.
Later, in the family court, Nader and Simin had filed for divorce once more. The judge keeps their separation fixed, and asks for the Termeh whose parents he chose to live with. He declares that he has made a decision, but asks the judge to tell his parents to wait outside before he tells him.

Production
This concept comes from a number of personal experiences and abstract images that have been in the mind of Asghar Farhadi for some time. Once he decided to make a movie, about a year before it aired, it was quickly written and financed. Farhadi describes the film as a "logical development" of the previous film, About Elly . Like the last three Farhadi movies, A Separation was created without government support. Financing runs without much trouble thanks to the success of About Elly . Production is provided US $ 25,000 to support the Film Fund of the APSA Film Association Academy. In September 2010, Farhadi was banned from filming by Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, due to an acceptance speech held during the award ceremony in which he expressed support for several Iranian film characters. In particular he wants to see his return to Iranian cinema, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, an exiled filmmaker and Iran's opposition profile, and imprisoned political filmmaker Jafar Panahi, both of which are connected to the Iranian Green Movement. The ban was lifted in early October after Farhadi claimed to have been misunderstood and apologized for his remarks.
Release
The film premiered on February 9, 2011 at the 29th Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran. Six days later he played in the Competition at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival.

Deborah Young dari The Hollywood Reporter menulis dari Berlinale:
Only when it seems impossible for Iranian filmmakers to express themselves meaningfully beyond the limits of censorship, Asghar Farhadi's Nader and Simin, A Separation came to prove otherwise. Apparently modest on a narrative but morally, psychologically and socially complex level, it succeeded in bringing Iranian society into focus to the way some other films have done.
Young notes how Farhadi describes Iran's social and religious divisions, and praises the craft of the film:
As in all the directors' work, the players are given the ultimate consideration and their realistic acting results in unusual depth of characterization. The five main actors stand out in the intimate cinematography of Mahmood Kalari. Although the film lasted for more than two hours, Hayedeh Safiyari's fast-moving editing made the action very involved from start to finish.
In a very positive review of Screen Daily , Lee Marshall wrote:
Featuring control over the investigative pacing that reminds the classic Hitchcock and the nuances of ethical nuance that are all his own, Farhadi has found a story that is not just about Iranian men and women, children and parents, justice and religion today, but it raises questions complex and globally relevant responsibilities, about subjectivity and contingency "tell the truth," and how thin the line between inflexibility and pride - especially male variation - and selfishness and tyranny.
Alissa Simon from Variety calls it Farhadi's strongest work and describes it:
Tense and full of narrative complex, formally dense and morally challenging... The provocative plot creates a light that reveals the contemporary Iranian society, taking gender, class, justice and honor issues as a secular middle-class family in the middle- in the midst of turbulent turbulence. in conflict with a poor religion.
David Thomson untuk The New Republic menulis:
You can not watch a movie without feeling a kinship with a character and acknowledge their modesty and their mistakes. American films made this year relate to internal details and family life difficulties - such as The Descendants - are cool, beautiful and prosperous compared to A Separation . With the best wishes in the world, George Clooney can not throw his aura of fame, but the actors in the Iranian film look caught in their character trap.
The film won Crystal Simorghs from Fajr Film Festival for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematographer and Best Sound Recorder. It also received the Audience Favorite Film award. It won the highest award, the Golden Bear for Best Movie, at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival.

In addition, he received the Competition Prize from the Ecumenical Jury and the Berliner Morgenpost Readers Prize. Isabella Rossellini, chairman of the International Film Festival Jury of Berlin, said the choice of Farhadi film for the Golden Bear "is quite unanimous". Farhadi commented that he would never think he would win the Golden Bear, and that the victory of the film offered "an excellent opportunity to think of people from my country, the country where I grew up, the country where I learned my story - great people". Ahmad Miralaii, director of the Farabi Iranian Cinema Foundation, said that "Iran cinema is proud of the award", when he welcomed Farhadi at the airport after the return of the director of Berlin.
