In Asghar Farhadi‘s A Separation, a professional-class married couple (Leila Hatami, Peyman Moaadi) with a bright and perceptive teenage daughter (Sarina Farhadi) was shown going through a breakup, which was largely about whether or not to live in a repressive Iran. In Farhadi’s The Past, a Parisian couple (Berenice Bejo, Ali Mosaffa) with a bright and perceptive daughter (Pauline Burlet) is divorcing over the husband’s decision to return to Iran.

Except when Mosaffa returns to Paris to sign divorce papers, he finds that Bejo and his daughter are living with a younger Middle Eastern guy (A Prophet‘s Tahar Rahim).
