Romería

Set on the Galician coast in the early 2000s, 18-year-old Marina travels to Vigo in search of information about her biological father, seeking his death certificate to be able to apply for a scholarship to film school.

Reconnecting with her paternal side of the family, she discovers a huge amount of shame and secrecy around his death. Reading from her biological mother’s diary entries from her youth, Marina takes the opportunity to uncover what she can about her parents’ relationship with the estranged family, and discovers the reason for their secrecy.
