Galice

Galicia is a region in Spain, specifically referenced in the context of the film "Romeria" by Catalan director Carla Simon. The film, showcased at the San Sebastián festival, explores Simon's personal quest to understand her family origins. The narrative takes place in Galicia, specifically the port city of Vigo, which was the birthplace of her father, who, like her mother, died prematurely from AIDS. The film delves into the taboos surrounding the disease within the bourgeois environment she depicts. While Galicia itself isn't the primary focus of the other news article about Spain's plan to regularize undocumented immigrants, the region's connection to personal narratives and cultural exploration, as highlighted by the film, maintains its relevance in contemporary discussions about identity and heritage within Spain.
