Years after becoming a celebrated novelist, a woman returns to the place where her remarkable story first began. As an infant, she was discovered on the shore near the ancient Greek ruins of Emporion, an event that remained a mystery throughout her life.
Inspired by the writings of Caterina Albert, she begins working on what she hopes will be her final novel. The journey back to her hometown awakens memories of childhood, family, and the people who helped shape her future. While revisiting the past, she also confronts unanswered questions about her origins and the choices that defined her life.
Rather than focusing on dramatic twists, Emporion tells a reflective story about identity, truth, and the lasting influence of the places we come from.
Emporion is written, directed, and produced by Martí Guarch, marking another feature in his growing body of independent Spanish cinema. The film was produced by La Devesa de l’Empordà S.L., with cinematography by Martí Guarch and Santi Ristol. Filming took place in the Empordà region of northeastern Spain, where the area’s landscapes and archaeological heritage play an important role in the film’s visual identity.
Emporion premiered in Spain on February 1, 2026. At the time of writing, the film has primarily been released through Spanish cinemas, and an international streaming release has not yet been officially announced.
