Cine en Español Presents - Special Screening: Romería

In ROMERÍA, Berlinale winner Carla Simon processes her own family history in a powerful and poetic way. We are showing the film as part of Cine en Español. The screening will be followed by a virtual Q&A with Carla Simon.

Seventeen-year-old Marina sees the world through her little digital camera. She takes it with her on a trip to Vigo, the Galician port city where her parents once lived. She only needs a document for a scholarship, but the trip turns into a search for clues about her origins. Encounters with relatives remain cool; no one wants to talk about the past. Gradually, Marina realizes that there is no one truth, only different forms of memory.
