After helping his father Jafar, Panah Panahi is now debuting as director with a roadmovie that is both funny and alarming.

A chaotic, tender family is on a road trip across a rugged landscape, but to where? In the back seat, Dad has a broken leg, but is it really broken? Mom tries to laugh when she’s not holding back tears. The kid keeps exploding into choreographed car karaoke. All of them are fussing over the sick dog and getting on each others’ nerves.
Only the mysterious older brother is quiet.

“Jafar Panahi's son is bravely venturing off into unknown territory - although he also keeps one foot firmly planted in the past, creating the kind of quiet miracles Iranian cinema is known for. A road movie that’s very much about a son cutting ties with his family.” - The Hollywood Reporter
