From the Academy Award-winning director of A Separation and About Elly, Asghar Farhadi’s Fireworks Wednesday is a gripping, suspenseful drama—a story of marital intrigue and betrayal set against the backdrop of the Persian New Year. Rouhi, a young bride-to-be, is hired as a maid for an affluent family in Tehran. Upon arriving, she is suddenly thrust into an explosive domestic conflict. Mojdeh is convinced her husband is having an affair (with a recently divorced woman living next door) and enlists Rouhi as a spy to follow her husband and confirm her suspicions. What Rouhi discovers, however, threatens not only their marriage but her own future.
