Storyline
Marina travels to Vigo to meet the family of her biological father, who died of AIDS, like her mother, when she was very young. Through her encounters with her uncles, aunts, and grandparents, the young woman tries to piece together a story about her parents, but they all feel too ashamed of the couple's drug problems, something Marina reminds them of with her presence. It is the teenage love story she experiences with her cousin that allows her to reimagine her parents and connect with them. In this way, she invents a story, thanks to her mother's diary, that frees her from the stigma her family feels toward them and fulfills her desire to understand the past... A film about family memory that closes the director's trilogy composed of 'Summer 1993' and 'Alcarràs'.
