THE STORY

Carmen, a recently retired woman from León, sets off on a spontaneous trip with her family to the Catalan ‘Golden Coast' after the death of the family matriarch. What starts off as a simple farewell, or so she thinks, turns into a journey back to her roots and a part of herself she’d never really known about. It’s a comedy about family, identity, and the courage it takes to start over, no matter if it’s sooner rather than later, or later rather than sooner.
