Career
Garcia had no professional acting experience before taking on the starring role in Carla Simón's film Romería.[4] She was invited to audition having just returned to Barcelona from a five-day camping trip.[2] Inspired by Simón's own life, Romería follows a young woman, Marina, who seeks traces of the lives of her parents who died of AIDS when she was young.[2] Garcia played the dual role of Marina and her mother.[2] The film received positive reviews after premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, including praise for Garcia with particular attention to her naturalness and her eyes.[4][5][6] She was nominated for Best New Actress at the Goya Awards and earned the prize for Best New Performance at the Gaudí Awards.[7][8] Despite the film's success, she said after its release that she had not decided whether she wanted to pursue a film career.[4]
