We recommend from the age of 16 home the longest way home - it began with an accident that was destined to move a string of surreal comical and shermal events. In the late night, Ekbal, when driving with his wife and daughter, accidentally knocks the dog and ruins the car's engine. In search of a helping hand, the family meets a former political prisoner Wahid, who recognizes the sound of Ecbal prosthesis and asks him as his former torturer. The man does not remember the face and appearance of the offender, but the memory is unyielding and the actions in front of it. When the family returns home, they do not realize that the unfortunate event with the poor dog will turn their whole life ... Iranian cinema pioneer - dissident Panahi - has always reminded me of a manipulation of cinema that can be equally dramatic as comical. Also, in the latest work, as a prize as a "Golden Palm Branch", he connects personal with political, historical memory with today and Macabrik's high song for the absurd with the best techniques of Hitchcock. In recent years, creating a movie in limited circumstances due to government arrest and exit denials in their films, especially in the most recent "without bears" (2022), Panahi is playing with the form of making the film itself and what is eventually included in the frame. The film is based on Panahi's experience in prison, and after receiving the prize after 22 years of absence in Cannes, he said "our country and its freedom are most important at the moment."
