++++++

A car accident creates a suspicious for the investigator to find out the cause and the events that led to the accident...while discovering deep emotional and personal relationships among the characters. It is about a friendship that goes sour as the story widens through the detective findings.

+++++++++

....The screenplay has a non-linear structure. Mihandoost has succeeded in making use of the techniques of this type of narrative to tell his story in an attractive manner. A Very Close Encounter is a chic and well-paced urban movie shot in attractive locations in beautifully composed frames.....
