Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will bring A Separation to Blu-ray in August. Director Asghar Farhadi won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 2012 Academy Awards Ceremony for this intimate drama about an Iranian family struggling to balance their culture's rigid social strictures with their own ever-pressing emotional needs.
From Sony's official synopsis:
"Simin (Leila Hatami) wants to leave Iran with her husband Nader (Peyman Moadi) and daughter Termeh (Sarina Farhadi) and sues for divorce when Nader refuses to leave behind his Alzheimer-suffering father (Ali-Asghar Shahbazi). Her request having failed, Simin returns to her parents' home but Termeh decides to stay with Nader. When Nader hires a young woman to assist with his father in his wife's absence, he hopes that his life will return to a normal state. However, when he discovers that the new maid has been lying to him, he realizes that there is more on the line than just his marriage."
