"Will you come?" asks the wife. "No, I won't" he responds. She wants to leave Iran; he wants to stay. Iranian writer-director Asghar Farhadi has been collecting numerous awards for his film,
A Separation
, including the Golden Globe, which he accepted with a reference to international tensions.
"What should I say here? Should I say here?" Farhadi asked during his acceptance speech. "Should I say something about my mother? My father? My kind wife? My daughters? My dear friends? I just prefer to say something about my people. I think they are a truly peace-loving people."

From Poland, the film
In Darkness
recounts a true story of survival in the Nazi occupied city of Lvov during World War II. A sanitation worker there named Socha helped a group of Jews hide in the sewers.
"Tell me if you find any Jews," warns the officer. "It is our duty." "Absolutely," replies Socha, even though he risks his life to bring food to the fugitives.
