Carla Simón has created a warm and sensuous film about memories, family secrets, and a young woman’s search for belonging. Eighteen-year-old Marina, orphaned at a young age, needs a signature from her biological family in order to apply for a university scholarship. She travels to Galicia on Spain’s Atlantic coast to meet the grandparents she has never known. What begins as a simple task opens the door to a complex network of relatives – welcoming, hesitant, and resistant alike.
Read moreMarina searches for fragments of a past long buried under shame, silence, and unfinished memories. In confronting her father’s family, no single truth emerges – only multiple, sometimes conflicting versions.
Romería is a generational portrait that dares to be tender, beautiful, and painful all at once. Simón’s semi-autobiographical film explores identity, inheritance, and the bonds that shape us, offering a nostalgic and dreamlike experience that resonates deeply.
