Simin desperately wants to leave Iran with Nader, her husband of 14 years, and their daughter, Termeh. Nader, however, is concerned for his elderly father, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Simin files for divorce, but the family court judges the couple’s problems insufficient to warrant divorce and rejects Simin’s application.
Simin moves back in with her parents but Termeh decides to stay with her father. Nader hires Razieh, a deeply religious woman from a poor suburb of Tehran, to take care of his father while he is at work. Her family is financially dependent on the job, and she takes her young daughter, Somayeh, with her. Razieh quickly becomes overwhelmed by taking care of Nader’s father, which is physically and emotionally demanding, especially as she is four months pregnant. One day, Razieh asks her daughter to help by taking the trash outside, but the bag bursts on the stairs. Razieh mops it up, but discovers that Nader’s father has disappeared. Alarmed, Razieh runs down the street after him.
