ein einfacher unfall

Synopsis:

When car mechanic Vahid accidentally meets the man who allegedly tortured him in prison, he kidnaps him in order to exact revenge. But the only clue to Eghbal's identity is the unmistakable squeak of his prosthetic leg. In his search for certainty, Vahid turns to a scattered circle of other victims who have since been released. But the deeper they delve into their past and the more their different world views clash, the greater their doubts become: Is it really him? And what does retribution even mean?

Background:
Set against the pervasive backdrop of authoritarianism, A Simple Accident condenses into a brilliant act of resistance - from an Iranian auteur filmmaker who knows from personal experience what it means to be unjustly imprisoned.
A Simple Accident, winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, is a fearless masterpiece by filmmaker Jafar Panahi - at once highly political and deeply human.
