    • Synopsis
    • Marina, 18, orphaned at a young age, must travel to Spain’s Atlantic
      coast to obtain a signature for a scholarship application from the
      paternal grandparents she has never met. She navigates a sea of new
      aunts, uncles, and cousins, uncertain whether she will be embraced
      or met with resistance. Stirring long-buried emotions, reviving
      tenderness, and uncovering unspoken wounds tied to the past, Marina
      pieces together the fragmented and often contradictory memories of
      the parents she barely remembers.
