variety.com:

Holly Jones Forqué-nominated Spanish director Gala Gracia (“Evanescente”) will debut her tender first feature, “Remnants of You” (“Lo que queda de ti”), in competition at this year’s Malaga Film Festival.

The narrative follows Sara (Laia Manzanares, “Internal Affairs,” “Estoy Vivo”), a young jazz pianist living in New York who’s returned home to Spain’s Pyrenees after news of her father’s abrupt death.

As heightened mourning grips her, she finds she’s inherited his sheep farm alongside her sister Elena (Ángela Cervantes, “Motherhood,” “Valenciana”), planting her firmly in a hometown both familiar and suffocating.

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.
