Romería

Marina (Llúcia Garcia), an orphan from a young age, has just turned 18 and intends to pursue a university scholarship in Barcelona. The application, however, requires the signatures of her paternal grandparents, which means that she must travel to Spain’s Atlantic coast and seek out the family she has never met. With her mother’s old diary as her only guide, Marina returns to her parents’ hometown of Vigo, where she finds herself caught in a confusing swirl of new experiences, buried emotions, and fragmented memories.

The film had its world premiere in the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
