EIN EINFACHER UNFALL

After his imprisonment, Vahid encounters his torturer Eghbal by chance – or so he believes, because he was blindfolded during his torture in prison. Vahid kidnaps this family man with the intention of burying him alive. But then doubts prevail, and he embarks on an odyssey through Tehran to find other victims of Eghbal who might be able to identify him. Jafar Panahi’s gripping Golden Palm winner reverses the balance of power and lets the victims of state violence judge their tormentor. Will revenge or mercy prevail?
