What begins as a practical errand becomes something harder to name — an excavation of memory, silence, and the stories families carry across generations. In this conversation, Simón reflects on the autobiographical roots of the film, the challenge of transforming private history into cinema, working with young performers, and the delicate balance between grief, imagination, and discovery. Following the international success of SUMMER 1993 and ALCARRÀS, ROMERÍA may be her most personal film yet. INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE is hosted by Greg Laemmle and Raphael Sbarge in partnership with Laemmle Theatres. New episodes every week — follow wherever you listen.
