The amazing, continuously courageous Jafar Panahi's Cannes' 2025 winning new feature!

France's submission to this year's Oscars - Vahid, an unassuming mechanic, has a chance encounter with Eghbal, a man he strongly suspects to be his former sadistic jailhouse captor. Panicked, Vahid gathers several former prisoners, all abused by that same captor, to try and confirm Eghbal's identity. As the bickering group drives around Tehran with the captive, they must confront how far to take matters into their own hands with their presumed tormentor. From master filmmaker Jafar Panahi comes a searing moral thriller that engages with complex ideas about the uncertainty of the truth and the choice between revenge and mercy, as Panahi turns his personal dissonance into a profound and galvanizing work of art.

"It's far from an accident as to how this scored the highest prize at Cannes, nor is it surprising that it’s one of the year’s most intense movies, from one of the braver filmmakers working today." - Jack Martin, Film Feeder

"One of the boldest, most essential pieces of cinema you'll need to see this year." Rendy Jones, Rendy Reviews
