The impending wedding of Rosa, the village bar-owner’s youngest daughter, has seemingly enlivened the parish but behind this joy the tragedy of Caterina, her elder sister, has tainted and perturbed the 'well-meaning' villagers.
The film’s director, Sílvia Munt, uses her extensive experience in theatre and film to marry traditional theatrical techniques with modern narrative structures. El Cafè de la Marina brings together an outstanding cast composed of new and established Catalan actors.
