We’re pleased to present this special screening of Familia rodante following its great popularity at Cornerhouse, where it last screened in 2006. 84-year-old Emilia’s been invited to her niece’s wedding. So she convinces the 12 members of her family to come along – travelling thousands of miles across Argentina, crammed in a decrepit camper van. Cue comic chaos in this family drama-meets-road movie.
