A Minor Accident

A chance encounter brings together Vahid, a former political prisoner, and a man in whom Vahid recognizes his torturer from prison. He never saw the man's face, but he is certain he recognizes the sound of his artificial leg - or so he thinks. Doubts about his spontaneous plan for revenge gnaw at him, and so Vahid and other former prisoners decide to verify the man's identity first.

A playful road movie with existential roots that turns to the politics of contemporary Iran. Golden Palm winner Jafar Panahi draws on his own experience as a repeatedly convicted man and asks whether it is possible to take revenge on a regime through an individual who serves it faithfully.
