Quick Synopsis
Eighteen-year-old Marina, who lost her parents early in life, travels to the Atlantic coast of Spain to seek a signature from her paternal grandparents for a scholarship application. Having never met them before, she faces the challenge of connecting with a large extended family, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, while unsure if they will welcome her or reject her. During her visit, Marina encounters emotions and memories that have long been hidden, experiences moments of kindness, and uncovers unresolved issues related to her family's past. Through these interactions, she gradually pieces together the fragmented and sometimes conflicting memories of her parents, whom she barely knew.
