Named after the Spanish word for a religious pilgrimage, Romería (2025) follows 18-year-old Marina (Llúcia Garcia), who, orphaned at a young age, is now piecing together a past she never truly knew.
With Romería, Carla Simón completes her loose family trilogy, after her celebrated debut Summer 1993 (2017) and the Berlinale Golden Bear winner Alcarràs (2022), which screened at CFF41.
Like every journey, doubt and hope walk side by side, but this Romería radiates such warmth it might just be the most heartfelt homecoming of the year.
