Coming-of-age
A quiet opening act the rest of the filmography keeps flashing back to. Underrated on first watch.

Synopsis
The 1990s, a small city by the sea. Sandra grows up between the beach, her mother's kitchen, and two thousand years of Roman ruins she treats as playground equipment.
Eighteen years of a perfectly good life, and two permanent souvenirs: the itch to leave, and the instinct to return. Every other film in the programme is those two arguing.
What the Critics Say
★★★★★
“The mother's cooking deserves its own spin-off.”

The town she couldn't wait to leave, and can't stop coming back to.
