Marina, 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.

Nicolas J After Summer 1993, this feels like Simon is standing on common ground. Beautifully shot, a nice film , but it feels toothless, just... nice. It won’t hurt you, but you won’t remember it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
