Rolling Family

In the heart of the vibrant town of Cedar Creek, the Mendoza family prepares for their annual reunion road trip—an uproarious tradition that has brought them together for over two decades. “Rolling Family” follows Lionel, the affable family patriarch, as he strives to orchestrate the perfect getaway in their colorful RV, dubbed “Bessie.” With a pinch of nostalgia for the past, Lionel’s vision of this year’s trip is to reignite the bonds that have begun to wane amidst the chaos of everyday life.

Joining Lionel are his spirited wife, Marisol, who dreams of a more adventurous lifestyle; their two adult children, feisty Sofia and laid-back Marco; and Grandma Lupe, the family’s wise yet quirky matriarch, whose secret recipe for disaster usually involves a mix of mischief and maternal love. As they embark on their journey, the family quickly learns that no road trip comes without its fair share of bumps—in both the road and their relationships.

As they navigate through picturesque landscapes and quirky roadside attractions, the ensemble faces an array of comedic and heartfelt challenges that test their patience and love for each other. From an unexpected detour leading to a small-town fair to a mishap with Bessie’s ancient GPS, each twist and turn reveals deeper family dynamics, repressed emotions, and the often-painful lessons learned in love and forgiveness.

Sofia grapples with her yearning for independence while feeling shackled by family expectations, Marco tries to reconcile his dreams of becoming an artist with the pressures of conformity, and Marisol confronts her desire for adventure against her role as caregiver. Meanwhile, Grandma Lupe becomes the unexpected glue binding the family, sharing stories from the past that resonate deeper than the road they travel.

“Rolling Family” is a heartwarming and humorous exploration of what it truly means to be family. As the Mendes navigate the winding roads of their relationships, they discover the essence of connection, resilience, and acceptance. In the end, it’s not just the destination that matters; it’s the journey they share along the way that makes their love roll forward—full of laughter, tears, and the occasional flat tire.
