“Subtly plotted like a good thriller, the movie slowly but surely builds into a stark condemnation of abusive power and its long-lasting effects.” (The Hollywood Reporter)

Despite bans and imprisonment, Iranian master filmmaker Jafar Panahi continues to make great humanist films. Reimagining the road movie, he takes his audience on a thrilling emotional ride in a work full of twists and turns. In the middle of the night a damaged car arrives at mechanic Vahid’s garage. He hears something that triggers him to believe that the driver of the car is the official who had tortured him. But as he never saw his face, can he really be sure?

Turning to other torture victims for confirmation, including a wedding photographer, he sets in motion a murderous revenge plot. But is this really who they are? Alternatively tense and funny, It Was Just an Accident has an exceptional ensemble cast.
