It Was Just An Accident

Synopsis

A man, named Eghbal, is driving at night with his pregnant wife when he hits and kills a dog. The accident badly damages his engine and causes the car to break down shortly thereafter. He pulls over to a nearby garage owned by Vahid, who notices that Eghbal resembles the officer who tortured him in prison and ruined his life. Vahid stalks the man, who walks with a false leg, and kidnaps him. Vahid prepares to bury him alive but grows doubtful about the man's identity and reaches out to a fellow prisoner for confirmation. He meets up with the bookseller Salar, wedding photographer Shiva, bride Goli, groom Ali, and angry worker Hamid. Riding around day and night, Vahid's van is occupied by these victims all seeking revenge on the man who brutally abused them. During their ride, they contemplate the morality of killing their captive and whether he actually is who they believe him to be.
