Rodando al destino

Fran has Friedreich’s ataxia and uses a wheelchair. And he lives with a joy that is disarming. What has happened to him?

The story behind it

Why is Fran happy?

Fran was 29 when the film was shot. Friedreich’s ataxia, a degenerative disease, makes him more and more dependent; even so, he lives happily.

The documentary looks for the reason among the people who know him, in seven cities: Elche, Jaén, Turin, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan and Córdoba. It was shot in 2015, partly funded through crowdfunding on Verkami, and premiered in 2016.
