An unorthodox vision of a family: the grandfather is a cocaine addict, father teaches about success in life, with no success at all, uncle is getting over a frustrated attempt of suicide, elder brother hates the world and Olive, the younger daughter, who is four-eyed and chubby, wants to be a beauty queen. This way, it starts a road movie in which drama and comedy are protagonists. This family of misfits finds in this trip a reason to live for. As usual, there are activities to do before watching the film, meanwhile and after watching the film.
