About the film
Dir. Panah Panahi | Comedy/Drama | 1h 33m | 2021
The first feature from Iranian writer-director Panah Panahi (son of legendary director Jafar Panahi) follows a chaotic but loving family of four as they drive across the rugged Iranian countryside. A striking feature debut that is charming, sharp-witted, and deeply moving, Hit the Road takes the tradition of the Iranian road-trip movie and patterns it with the bittersweetness of conflicting emotions and things unsaid.
Director Bio
