Movie

Sunday Drive (2009)
Passeio de Domingo IMDb TMDB
other title: Passeio de Domingo / La ballade du dimanche
The Idalecio family is close to imploding emotionally. During the weekly Sunday drive all falls apart. It starts with a claustrophobic car trip through town. Nagging children, football on the radio, a mother in law with a sharp tongue, a new pregnancy. It is a day of unhappiness, a day that will turn around their lives. An anti-Sunday.
