Carla Simón’s new movie “Romeria,” is set to be released on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.

As Marina delves deeper into her family history, she gains insight into her parents’ struggles and the impact of their choices on her upbringing.
Carla Simón’s film is praised for its impeccable cinematography, pacing, character development, and storytelling. “Romeria” runs for 1 hour and 54 minutes and is a must-see for cinema enthusiasts.
