It Was Just an Accident
Monday 8 December, 17:45
When auto mechanic Vahid unexpectedly encounters the man who may have been his torturer in prison, he kidnaps him with the intention to exact vengeance.
But since the sole clue to Eghbal’s identity is the distinct squeak of his prosthetic leg, Vahid turns to a loose circle of other now-freed victims for confirmation. And the danger only escalates.
‘It’s a beautifully-written and executed work, one of Panahi’s most formally straightforward yet powerful, gripping and generous’ – David Jenkins, Little White Lies
