The grandmother (the actress is the filmmaker’s actual grandmother) of a large, extended family is invited to become the matron of honor at her niece’s wedding in her far-away, native hometown. And so, the adventure begins as the whole clan hits the road in a mobile home. They live in the outskirts of Buenos Aires and they start the journey heading the North of the country. Things, along the 1500km inside the not-so-comfortable caravan, don’t go very well at the beginning and will not end as the grandmother would have wished. But that is family or at least that is the way the film portraits family: the conflicts will turn to be part of the environment. The respective members of the family, in light of the conflicts, eventually turn out to be rich and unpredictable characters.
 
Rolling Family, with a road movie structure, presents the corruption problems inside the family. As part of a dishonest society, the family is not a refuge anymore; it is, actually, a constitutional part in this unfair social configuration.
