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, people she never had the chance to know. Among a sea of unknown relatives, secrets begin to surface, burning more intensely than the summer sun even after all these years. From fragmented and often contradictory memories, Marina pieces together an unexpected picture of the destructive, fateful love between her mother and father.

Director Carly Simón's semi-autobiographical film returns to her teenage years at the turn of the millennium. This story of searching for one's roots received enthusiastic acclaim in the Main Competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
