A family speeds through the Iranian desert toward the Turkish border: Where are they going? Why is mom paranoid about being followed? Is the dog acting funny? At the wheel is the family's brooding elder son, with an over-attentive polestar mother riding shotgun, and a bearded, full-bellied pops (one leg immobilized in a cast) in the backseat losing a battle of wits with his younger son – whose rascally energy keeps everyone both entertained and exasperated. “A beautifully tender comedy that tears your heart in half with a featherlight touch — a film that swerves between tragedy and gallows humor with the expert control of a stunt driver” (David Ehrlich, IndieWire). Son of auteur Jafar Panahi, and apprentice to the legendary Kiarostami, Panah Panahi makes his debut with a film that’s playfully new, both visually and tonally, yet resonant of the masterful tradition from which he descends.
