CINEOS Premiere

A Separation

A couple splitting up, a hired caregiver, an accident on a staircase — and a moral knot where everyone is right and no one can be forgiven.

It keeps shifting the ground under you — every twenty minutes the person you would blame changes, until judgment itself starts to feel impossible. The tension is domestic and legal, voices rising in small rooms with no clearly guilty party to convict, and it refuses to release: the final image freezes at the moment of choice rather than resolving it. What you carry isn't grief but exhaustion — the strain of watching decent people wound each other with no way out.

FAQ

Do I need to understand Iran to follow it?

No. The specifics of law and class sharpen it, but the bind at its centre — family against conscience, truth against loyalty — belongs to everyone.

Is it a courtroom drama?

Partly, but the real trial is domestic. The court only forces into the open what two families were already refusing to say to each other.
