It Was Just an Accident ending explained

What happens

Vahid goes back to ordinary life, but then hears the sound of the prosthetic leg near him again. The film stops there, without showing who is outside. You're left with the sound that started everything.

The last image

A quiet domestic moment, with the sound of the prosthetic leg heard nearby and no one shown.

Three readings

1 · The man returnsThe accused, free and still dangerous, has come looking for Vahid.

2 · Trauma, not threatNo one may be there; Vahid's mind simply replays the sound, because prison never ended for him.

3 · Someone else entirelyThe sound could be any stranger, which proves how little certainty sound ever gave.

What it says

The film's question was never only whether he was the right man. Identifying a torturer by sound alone was always shaky, and the ending refuses a verdict. It leaves you holding the doubt and fear its characters carry.
