It was just an accident - Cinema M on tour

Als Eghbal, in the car on the way with his wife and daughter, ends up late in the evening at a garage, and garage owner Vahid thinks he recognizes his former sadistic prison interrogator in him. He pursues Eghbal and impulsively takes him prisoner. But because Vahid was blindfolded at the time, he wants to ask fellow ex-prisoners for a second opinion. While the bickering group drives through Tehran with the prisoner, they must ask themselves how far they should go with their alleged tormentor. Of all his banned films, this is Panahi's most overt confrontation with the Iranian regime. Based on his own experiences and stories heard during seven months of imprisonment. An absurdist, furious, and reflective treatise on revenge, justice, and forgiveness. Winner of the Gouden Palm in Cannes.
