Espigas 2024

Directed by Sara Pedroso Emperador

Olivia, a 26-year-old architect in Madrid, will return to her hometown after the death of her grandmother. She grew up in a hostile environment, with absent parents and a conformist sister, always longing to find her place in the world. Her grandmother Carmen supported her and believed in her potential, but returning to her roots will force her to face criticism and guilt for having been distant. Espigas chronicles her physical and emotional journey, exploring themes such as uprooting, family ties, and reconciliation with herself, as she seeks to understand her past and find her identity.
