Every family road trip has its moments. This one just happens to carry a secret.
The acclaimed debut feature from Panah Panahi follows a family of four on a journey across the Iranian countryside. Along the way, they bicker, laugh, sing, tease one another and share the familiar rhythms of family life, while an unspoken tension slowly begins to emerge beneath the surface.
Warm, funny and deeply moving, Hit the Road captures the joy, chaos and tenderness of being part of a family with remarkable honesty. Its humour feels effortless, its performances are unforgettable, and its breathtaking landscapes make every frame a pleasure to watch.
As part of our season celebrating the families we're born into and the families we build, Hit the Road reminds us that love is often expressed in the smallest gestures. It's a film about protecting the people closest to us, finding laughter in difficult moments, and making the most of the time we have together.
One of the most celebrated directorial debuts of recent years, Hit the Road is funny, surprising and quietly unforgettable. If you discover just one new favourite film this summer, let it be this one.
