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.
A fearless tour-de-force from cinematic luminary Jafar Panahi which is both urgently political and deeply humane, this new moral classic confronts truth and uncertainty, revenge and mercy, head-on.
