Romería

With her mother's diary in hand, eighteen-year-old Marina sets out 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 orient herself in a sea of unknown relatives, secrets begin to emerge, painfully reminding her of the past even after all these years. From fragmented and often contradictory memories, Marina pieces together an unexpected picture of the fateful, destructive love between her mother and father.

Director Carly Simón's partially autobiographical story about searching for one's roots unfolds at the turn of the millennium and received enthusiastic acclaim in the Main Competition of the Cannes Film Festival.
