I Just recalled that the wife went into the bedroom and took money to pay the piano movers on the first day of the film.
I think her husband never realized this. It is highly unlikely - even impossible- that the caregiver would STEAL money; she was so religious and moral.
You are correct. It's in the F.A.Q.
shareActually I think Nader tells his daughter that he does realize Razieh didn't take the money. Not sure if he knows his wife may have taken it for the movers, but point is he knows that money in the drawer is not the most important thing in his life at the moment.
I thought it may have been Razieh's daughter, sensing that her parents needed it...I wouldn't want her running around at my house, seeing her play with the old man's oxygen supply like that. :(
I was wondering if the little girl took it too.
shareYou answered your own question.
Simin. There's a scene where Simin is arguing with workers who are moving the piano. They say that Simin must pay them more. Simin pays them the money, the same money that was put into the drawer. Later on, Nader thinks that Razieh has stolen the money.
she was so religious and moral.
She didn't know it wasn't his fault at first. Now, while I found her to be a tad annoying and most certainly not in the right profession (which she even realized herself), you have to admit that she was never a liar: at first she really believed the miscarriage happened because she was pushed, not to mention in a situation where she was accused of stealing money which she had not taken. Only later after having time to think about it she started to have doubts of her accusations, and at that point could no longer lie about the situation or take the money. So despite apparent stupidity, she tried to be moral in that situation, and certainly was more honest than most of us western people would be.
shareI think it was his wife
shareSimin took the money to pay the piano movers extra. It was a misunderstanding on Nader's part. We can only assume that she didn't tell him.
I didn't realise it was Simin herself that took the money until reading these threads. Genius that a scene that seemed so insignificant would shape the whole story. This film was incredible, so subtle, so real. I just assumed the pregnant woman took the money and left the house to have an abortion. That based my entire feelings towards the characters until she said about the car, I feel like watching it again straight away.
