Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, It Was Just an Accident follows a group of former political prisoners who encounter the man they believe tortured them. What unfolds is a tense and layered meditation on truth, memory, revenge, and accountability — a story as emotionally complex as it is politically charged.
Shot clandestinely in Iran, the film stands as a powerful act of artistic resistance. With dark humor, unflinching honesty, and moral depth, Panahi once again proves why he is one of the world’s most vital cinematic voices.
