A minor traffic accident reunites two men with a shared past. One is set on revenge, but then doubts set in.

Panahi, whose previous films include Taxi Terhan, 3 Faces, No Bears, all of which screened in Studio 74 over the past decade, returns with an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat thriller. As victims of Iran’s regime grow in number and revolts are widely reported, one of the country’s most daring auteurs boldly turns the camera on himself and asks: Should the victims of the state’s crimes seek revenge or show mercy?
