Majid Panahi

Acclaimed director Jafar Panahi drives a cab through the streets of Tehran, picking up a diverse group of passengers in a single day and capturing a spirited slice of Iranian society while brilliantly redefining the borders of comedy, drama and cinema. Each man, woman, and child candidly expresses their own view of the world, while being interviewed by the curious and gracious driver/director.

An unassuming mechanic, Vahid, has a chance encounter with a man he suspects to be his former sadistic jailhouse captor, Eghbal. Panicked, Vahid kidnaps the man and rounds up a few of his fellow ex-prisoners to try and confirm the man's identity. As the bickering group drives around Tehran with the captive, they must confront how far to take matters with their presumed tormentor.
