Romería - Das Tagebuch meiner Mutter

In the organizer's words:

After the early death of her parents from AIDS, 18-year-old Marina grew up with her mother's family in Catalonia. Now she is traveling to Vigo on the Atlantic coast of Galicia to meet her father Fon's family for the first time and see with her own eyes where her parents experienced the brief, wild period of their love in the 1980s, in the upheaval following the end of the Franco dictatorship. The actual reason for Marina's trip is a simple formality: she needs her father's death certificate for her scholarship at film school. To her astonishment, the document lists Fon as childless, a mistake that could easily be corrected with the grandparents' signature.

Marina is welcomed with open arms by the family in Galicia. She immerses herself in a buzzing world full of new aunts, uncles, cousins and cousins - and stories that contradict each other in strange ways. Her arrival stirs up long-buried emotions, repressed feelings, shame, pain and tenderness. Behind the stories, the lies, the love and the silence of the others, what her parents' lives might have been like begins to emerge. Accompanied by her mother's diary, Marina embarks on a stirring journey into a memory that she must create for herself.
