Romería

With her mother's diary in hand, eighteen-year-old Marina travels to the western coast of Spain to the places where her parents once fell in love—parents she never had the chance to know. Before she can make sense of the sea of unfamiliar relatives, secrets begin to surface, wounds that still burn after all these years. From fragmented and often contradictory memories, Marina pieces together an unexpected portrait of the fateful, destructive love between her mother and father.

A semi-autobiographical film by director Carla Simón about searching for one's roots and coming of age at the turn of the millennium. The film received enthusiastic acclaim in the Main Competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
