Warning: Spoilers
Hit the Road" is a poignant film that portrays the heart-wrenching story of an Iranian family forced to part with their son for reasons related to their homeland, despite their unconditional love for him. The director of this film has managed to capture the deep emotions of an Iranian mother with an unforgettable strength.

This film is a powerful piece of work that, unfortunately, wasn't allowed to be screened in Iran due to its honest portrayal of the country's reality. It exposes many aspects of life in Iran that are not typically seen on screen, making its viewing all the more remarkable.

The use of forbidden music, even in Iran, adds an extra layer of authenticity to the film while enhancing the emotional impact of each scene. "Hit the Road" is a bold testament to the director's creativity in sharing a profoundly human story despite the obstacles.

The film deserves recognition for its sincerity and its ability to touch the audience's heart by exploring universal themes such as family love and the struggle for freedom. A memorable cinematic work not to be missed.
