Romería (Pilgrimage) - The Perfect Conclusion to Carla Simón's Trilogy

"Romería" (Pilgrimage) has become one of the most anticipated and acclaimed films in Spanish cinema in 2025. Directed by Carla Simón, the film closes the family-centered autobiographical trilogy that began with "Summer 1993" and continued with "Alcarràs." The story follows 18-year-old Marina, who travels to Vigo to meet her biological father's family and reconstruct her past through her mother's diary.

Simón once again demonstrates her masterful ability to capture the most subtle emotions of everyday life. With delicate direction and a sensitivity that transcends the screen, "Romería" explores universal themes such as identity, family memory, and social stigma. The film invites us to accompany Marina on a journey that is both physical and emotional, where every discovery brings her closer to understanding her parents' love story.

The film premiered in Spanish theaters on September 5, 2025, and has received unanimous praise from international critics, with selections at festivals including Cannes, IFFR, and PÖFF. It is a work that confirms Carla Simón as one of the most important voices in contemporary European cinema.
