That Trip We Took With Dad

Running time: 111 mins

Buy the ticket, take the ride, even if you have to sit next to Dad. 1968: Prague Spring. Communist Romania. Two brothers decide to set out for the Western world, taking their ill, but well-meaning father with them. Their goal is simple; get their father to West Germany and give him access to the medical treatment he needs. What should have been a simple trip across a few borders is complicated by tanks rolling through the countryside, the Beatles, and car troubles. Enormously funny, That Trip We Took With Dad is an amazingly acted historical comedy which gives a unique view behind the Iron Curtain. – Aaron Garcia Sponsored by the Applied Materials Foundation and Jan & Sofia Laskowski
