Panar Panahi, son of director Jafar Panahi, sentenced to six years in prison and 20 years without making films by the Iranian authorities (a ban he has already violated three times), follows in his father's footsteps using his mother as the main actress.
He makes his auspicious debut in a road movie about a persecuted family that tries to provide their eldest son with an escape from the country, while surviving with a ray of hope, provided by the joy of the youngest.
The message is evident. Iran has nothing to offer the current generation, condemned to exile. The joy of children remains to provide hope for change in a future that is slow to arrive.
