It Was Just an Accident (12A)

Persian with English subtitles.

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 humour and thoughtful, sometimes devastating questions regarding persecution and revenge.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival.
