Spain’s Gala Gracia Heads to Malaga With Sentimental Debut Feature ‘Remnants of You,’ Reveals Trailer
Gala Gracia's debut feature "Remnants of You" follows Sara, a jazz pianist, who inherits her father's sheep farm, exploring grief and family bonds.
A highly personal portrait of reconciling desires against the sturdy expectations life doles out, the film centers Sara’s trepidation, as she weighs abandoning her passions to run the family business in an attempt to uphold her father’s legacy, potentially sacrificing the nourishment of her own. Women are firmly placed in demanding, central roles in the film — town veterinarian, sheepherder, jazz musician — asserting their talents alongside the men in the community, which grants them a dominance onscreen that feels as effortless as it is necessary. Alongside Manzanares and Cervantes, were regional talents that served to pepper the screen in small roles with a natural warmth and depth, adding to scenes that demanded authenticity — the leads coaching them on acting while learning a thing or two about farming tasks in return, a reciprocal approach to rehearsals that led to a fruitful shoot.
