"...[A] lovely, beautifully composed debut feature drenched in a subtle but urgent political meaning." The Guardian
Cannes Director's Fortnight
BFI London Film Festival

Panah Panahi (the son and collaborator of celebrated Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi) makes his debut feature debut with this charming, sharp-witted, and deeply moving humanist drama. It follows a family of four – two middle-aged parents and their sons, one an adult, the other a six-year-old – as they drive across the Iranian countryside. Unspoken tensions arise and the film builds emotional momentum as it slowly reveals the furtive purpose for their journey. It's an authentic, raw, and deeply sincere observation of an Iranian family preparing to part with one of their own.
