Their car breaking down leads the family to the mechanic Vahid, a former political prisoner, convinced that the driver is actually his former tormentor. A seemingly innocuous incident sets off an avalanche of increasingly deadly repercussions. This Palme d’Or-winning darkly humorous revenge thriller explores the moral fissures opened up by trauma. Director Jafar Panahi will receive the honorary Maverick Award at this year’s Cinehill.
