Vahid, an Azerbaijani auto mechanic, was once imprisoned by Iranian authorities. During his sentence, he was interrogated blindfolded. One day, a man named Eghbal enters his workshop. His prosthetic leg creaks, and Vahid thinks he recognizes one of his former torturers. Acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi's first film since being released from prison shows that he has lost none of his fearlessness or sense of the absurd.
