Bath Film Fest: Romería
Details
Synopsis:
Marina is a young woman whose parents died of AIDS when she was small; she was raised by other relatives. Now she has to complete an application form to secure a scholarship, which means tracking down parts of her family she has never met, who may not want to talk about a shameful past.
“Part of this movie is about the perennial question which will fascinate and defeat all of us: what were our parents like before we were born? What was it like for them to be people just like us? It is at the centre of this distinctive, intelligent, sympathetic drama”
– Peter Bradshaw via The Guardian
