The Word

A father and son take to the road for a driving lesson, but the usual roles are reversed in this 15-minute drama from Iranian writer-director Hadi Khanmohammadi.

As the son tries to teach his aging, closed-minded father to drive, we learn of the abuse, patriarchal entitlement and casual homophobia he’s had to endure.

Sometimes it’s impossible to teach an old dog new tricks.
