A Separation, The Movie of Injustice

Winner of the Golden Bear in Berlin earlier this year, A Separation, indicates that incident is in a family taboo. Divorce that should not happen is in a family, instead it becomes a problem for children - less affection. Eventually children live in agony.

This movie tells the story in Iranian family. The wife Simin (Leila Hatami) wants to leave the country with the couple's 11-year-old daughter. The husband Nader (Peyman Moadi) will not grant her the divorce or permission she needs, nor will the judge, who considers their case to be petty. 

Privately, they later agree to separate, their daughter Termeh remaining with the husband in their pleasant apartment in what we assume is an enlightened, middle-class quarter of Tehran. Because the husband's father has Alzheimer's, the family hire a carer called Razieh (Sareh Bayat), a woman they scarcely know, from a poorer part of the city, and who, we later discover, is pregnant.

When an argument over the level of care seems to cause Razieh to miscarry, all parties become suffocated in a legal case. The film develops into a complex moral dilemma that pitches religion against economics, one that brilliantly, and with creeping tension, encapsulates the tussles and fissures in Iranian society.

In this movie, injustice is apparent, where the right is wrong, and wrong is right. However, the question which the sppectators ask is the fate of Termeh, it is unclear until the end of movie. 

In Iran, although this movie invites the pros and cons - rejection movement, A separation remains a good movie serving as a social mirror. In this movie, the value that we could learn is no legal justice for all levels of society.
