Orphaned at a young age, 18-year-old Marina (Llúcia Garcia) must travel to Vigo on Spain’s Atlantic coast to obtain a signature for a scholarship application from the paternal grandparents she has never met. There, she navigates a sea of new aunts, uncles and cousins, uncertain whether she will be embraced or met with resistance. Uncovering long-buried emotions and unspoken wounds from the past, Marina pieces together fragmented and often contradictory memories of the parents she barely remembers.
