Back to the Rafters

Log Line

Serienbeschreibung

Back to the Rafters picks up six years since we last saw the Rafter family.  Dave and Julie have created a new life in the country with youngest daughter Ruby.  As everyone comes together in Sydney to celebrate Dave and Julie’s 35^th Anniversary, history repeats and circumstances force them all to cram into Ben’s 2 bedroom home – once again packed to the-you-know-what.  During the visit it becomes apparent that the older Rafter children are facing new challenges, and Grandad Ted is struggling to find his place.  Julie’s contentment is brought into question and she must reconcile her responsibilities to the family.  Dave has been living the dream with a comfortable business and a new mate in his young employee, Paddo who shares his love of motocross racing.  He isn’t keen to give that up to return to the city as Julie suggests.  What will this mean for Australia’s favourite Mum and Dad?  Whether they are crammed under the same roof, or spread out in across different cities, towns or countries, the same honesty, love and laughter bonds them all and we see that even as life moves on, family doesn’t.
