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.

Justin Chang The New Yorker Simón brings down the emotional barriers with graceful assurance and an abundance of sun-dappled coastal imagery, though here and there she hints at a level of formal daring that may achieve fuller realization in films to come. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Stephanie Zacharek TIME Magazine This is graceful, quietly intelligent filmmaking. May 28, 2025 Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) ... The film doesn’t quite match the subtlety and originality of Summer 1993. It’s a satisfying enough addition to the saga, though, and a fillip for the Galician tourist board. Rated: 3/5 May 28, 2025 Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About It has a love for this horrible, imperfect world and all the irritating, manipulative people in it that’s extremely rare in art, but which is what art is all truly about. We only tell stories about things that matter... and what matters the most is love. Jun 14, 2025 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Between dream and memory, the camera is there to try to understand, and it is at this moment that Romería manages to take off with force, when she manages to go beyond what we expected of her.
