[یک تصادف ساده]
Vahid, an unassuming mechanic, is suddenly reminded of his time in an Iranian prison when he has a chance encounter with Eghbal, a man he strongly suspects to be his sadistic jailhouse captor. Panicked, Vahid rounds up a few of his fellow ex-prisoners to try and confirm Eghbal’s identity. Master filmmaker Jafar Panahi creates a deeply felt moral thriller, where high-stakes tension combines with unexpected flurries of humor and thoughtful, sometimes devastating, questions regarding persecution and revenge. DIR/SCR/PROD Jafar Panahi; PROD Philippe Martin. Iran/France/Luxembourg, 2025, color, 105 min. In Persian with English subtitles. RATED PG-13
