The film: Holly spends days at her dead-end job fantasizing about holes in the space-time continuum and wondering where her life went wrong. When she meets Arabella, an eight-year-old rebel, Holly becomes convinced their meeting is a cosmic sign, and that Arabella is, in fact, her past self sent back for a second chance. The two embark on an unconventional road trip between two lost souls who might be exactly what the other needs.

Romería opens in Laemmle Glendale Wednesday 7/1

On a day when we celebrate the fathers who raised us, Romería asks a quieter question. What do we inherit from the fathers we never really knew.

Carla Simón’s tender, autobiographical film follows eighteen year old Marina as she travels to the seaside town of Vigo to uncover the truth about her father, a man who died before she had the chance to understand him. Gradually tracking down his siblings, she slowly learns uncomfortable secrets about her parents’ unconventional life and turbulent past.

It’s a film about the way family stories shape us long after the people in them are gone.

Cannes you crazy diamond.

What a week of faces and films, heels and deals, indie passion and some scary fashion. Super yachts and a fear of bots, personal stories years in the making, conspicuous wealth and selfies taken, hustling for position, talk of acquisition, cinema’s time to shine, had the best time.

My gem of the festival: ❤️ MARIE MADELEINE directed by
Aesthetically daring, rhapsodic, and original!

🙏🏼 to the hardest working wingwoman in showbiz and the crew
