Marina (Llúcia Garcia), 18, orphaned at a young age, must travel to Spain’s Atlantic coast to obtain a signature for a scholarship application from the paternal grandparents she has never met.She navigates a sea of new aunts, uncles, and cousins, uncertain whether she will be embraced or met with resistance. Stirring long-buried emotions, reviving tenderness, and uncovering unspoken wounds tied to the past, Marina pieces together the fragmented and often contradictory memories of the parents she barely remembers.
Golden Bear winner Carla Simón concludes her family cycle of films (Summer 1993, Alcarràs) with a poignant and visually poetic journey, based on her own experiences. Blending bittersweet tenderness with nostalgia, Simón crafts a film with universal resonance through its exploration of family bonds, underlining her status as a major auteur in contemporary Spanish cinema.
