Thirty-two years after leaving Güímar (Tenerife, Canary Islands) to live a life consistent to her sexual identity, free of the existing social prejudices in her hometown, Carla Antonelli returns to reconnect with her memories and take stock of her life. Carla’s Journey explores the meaning of Carla’s inner road back home. She is one of the most relevant gender equality activists in Spain, a reference for the national and international LGBT community, an actress, TV presenter and - since 2011 - a representative in the Assembly of Madrid.

Rose and her daughter Sofia travel to the Spanish seaside town of Almería to consult with the shamanic Dr. Gomez, a physician who could possibly hold the cure to Rose’s mystery illness, which has left her bound to a wheelchair. But in the sultry atmosphere of this sun-bleached town Sofia, who has been trapped by her mother’s illness all her life, finally starts to shed her inhibitions, enticed by the persuasive charms of enigmatic traveller Ingrid.

Clara and her two sons escape from her abusive husband with little more than their car and plan to start over in New York. After the car towed away, the family meets Alice, who gets them into an emergency shelter. While stealing food at a Russian restaurant called ‘Winter Palace’, Clara meets Marc, who has been given the chance to help the old eatery regain its former glory. The ‘Winter Palace’ soon becomes a place of unexpected encounters between people who are all undergoing some sort of crisis and whom fate has now brought together.
