A beautifully rendered autobiographical tale, Romería is the touching portrait of family origins by celebrated Spanish director Carla Simón. In a bravura performance, Llúcia Garcia stars as 18-year-old Marina, who travels to the glittering seaside town of Vigo determined to uncover information on her father. Gradually tracking down his siblings, she slowly learns uncomfortable secrets about her parents’ unconventional life and turbulent past. Beyond a tour de force coming-of-age story, Romería offers a moving, trenchant investigation of how family connections form new identities.
