Her request having failed, Simin returns to her parents' home, but Termeh decides to stay with Nader. When Nader hires a young woman to assist with his father in his wife's absence, he hopes that his life will return to a normal state. However, when he discovers that the new maid has been lying to him, he realizes that there is more on the line than just his marriage. -- (C) Sony Pictures Classics       back to top       THIN ICE Directed by Jill Sprecher R, 114 min Visit the official site Mickey Prohaska (Greg Kinnear) is a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife (Lea Thompson) and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is about selling a story — all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer (Alan Arkin) who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission. But Mickey’s attempt to con the old man spins out of control when a nosy, unstable locksmith (Billy Crudup) with a volatile temper dramatically ups the stakes, trapping him in a spiral of danger, deceit and double-crossing. Blending dark comedy and delirious Midwestern noir, THIN ICE reaches a breaking point that no one — least of all Mickey Prohaska — could ever see coming.     back to top   A Separation Thin Ice Click here The Avon Theatre on   Click here Click here Gift Cards are now available at the box office or by calling 203-661-0321 The Avon Theatre is a proud member of   Now Playing | Calendar | Coming Soon | Special Events | About The Avon | Directions | Contact Info Become A Member | Members | Friends | Avon Journal | Celebrity Photos ©2005 Avon Theatre Film Center, Inc.
