 ROLLING FAMILY is the story of Emila, (Gracina Chironi) an Argentinian grandmother, who is invited to be the 'matron of honor' at the wedding of a distant niece. She invites her whole family to accompany her, and in a 1956 Chevy Viking camper, they set off on their cross-country journey to a little town on the border of Argentina and Brazil. Acclaimed director Pablo Trapero (“El Bonerese”) has made a warm, vivacious film about family relationships, love and the life that gets its color thanks to our personal choices and memories. Between the starting point of Buenos Aires and the destination, all the anger, sorrow, attraction and warmth between four cramped generations come to the surface. A glimpse of Argentinian family life with plenty of humor, latent melancholy, moving music and beautiful, refined camerawork make ROLLING FAMILY an absolute delight.
“You will find much to treasure in Pablo Trapero's bighearted ensemble “
Stephen Holden, The New York Times
“A heart-warming film.”
Philip French, The Observer (UK)
