That’s when Filip gets an idea: to take his frail old father to his beloved France and let him revisit the places he has loved most in life. By retracing the same road trip the family used to take when Filip was a child and secretly orchestrating some of life’s most delightful moments\, he hopes to reignite Lars’ zest for life. With the help of Filip’s best friend Fredrik\, some hefty doses of optimism and creativity\, and an old orange Renault 4\, the adventure can begin. \nJoin us for a brief post-show talkback with film series curator Dale Pollock\, as he discusses the movie in deeper context. \n  \nTHEME“The theme for this year’s series is Family\, in its many forms and permutations.
