Director Pablo Trapero apparently hoped this trans-Argentinian odyssey would show both how today's happenstances become tomorrow's memories, and how differently the young and the old approach life. However, these laudable intentions have slipped somewhere between his mission statement and the screen – what remains is an overly familiar collection of domestic crises crammed together in a rickety camper van.
Even worse, this record of the misadventures of octogenarian Graciana Chironi and her family en route to a wedding on the Brazilian border encompasses so many viewpoints that it's impossible to get to know the sketchy characters - and when your film is essentially a character study, that's disappointing.
