"Woman: Shared Sensibilities, A Collective Voice for Equality"
IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT
UN SIMPLE ACCIDENT
When an auto mechanic encounters the man who may have been his torturer in prison, he kidnaps him to exact vengeance. But since the sole clue to Eghbal’s identity is the squeak of his prosthetic leg, Vahid turns to other now-freed victims for confirmation. And the danger only escalates.
ಜೈಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಹಿಂಸಿಸಿದ್ದನೆಂದು ಶಂಕಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಆಟೋ ಮೆಕ್ಯಾನಿಕ್ ಎದುರುಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಸೇಡು ತೀರಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಆತನನ್ನು ಅಪಹರಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯ ಗುರುತಿಗೆ ಇರುವ ಏಕೈಕ ಸುಳಿವು ಅವನ ಕೃತಕ ಕಾಲಿನ ಕೀರಲು ಧ್ವನಿಯಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ, ವಹಿದ್ ಇತರ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯಾದ ಕೈದಿಗಳ ಬಳಿ ದೃಢೀಕರಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಈ ಹುಡುಕಾಟ ಮುಂದುವರಿದಂತೆ, ಅಪಾಯವೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಲೇ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ.

Jafar Panahi, (b. 1960 in Mianeh, Iran), is one of world cinema’s most courageous filmmakers. After studying at the Iran Broadcasting University, he directed his debut THE WHITE BALLOON (1995), which won the Caméra d’Or at Cannes. Films such as THE MIRROR (1997), THE CIRCLE (2000), CRIMSON GOLD (2003), and OFFSIDE (2006) gained international acclaim while being banned in his home country for their critique of society and women’s rights. Despite arrests, imprisonment, and a filmmaking ban, Panahi continued making defiant works including THIS IS NOT A FILM (2011), TAXI TEHRAN (2015), 3 FACES (2018), and NO BEARS (2022).
