A chaotic and tender family is on a road trip across a rugged landscape, but to where? Dad has a broken leg, mom tries to laugh when she’s not holding back tears and 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.

Being the son of master filmmaker Jafar Panahi, having worked as Abbas Kiarostami’s assistant and grown up around film his whole life, it's no surprise Panah Panahi's first film so accomplished and well done. HIT THE ROAD is a family road trip drama with many layers and an outstanding cast.
