Romería scores a low 1/10 on wokeness by delivering classic family drama rooted in personal grief and historical events, with zero activist framing or ideological messaging.
Romería centers on Marina (Llúcia Garcia), who uses her late mother's diary to trace her biological family on Spain's Atlantic coast and uncover secrets tied to her parents' deaths in the mid-1980s AIDS and heroin crisis.
The narrative follows her encounters with relatives like uncles, aunts, and grandparents, emphasizing personal grief, family denial of inconvenient history, and an orphan's quest for connection—classic dramatic storytelling rooted in autofiction and period-specific events without modern activist framing. Director Carla Simón's trilogy of personal films (including Summer 1993 and Alcarràs) consistently prioritizes intimate family dynamics over ideological messaging, and the cast features organic Spanish actors in roles matching the historical and regional setting with no race- or gender-swapping of established characters.
