Sempre Xonxa is a Galician-language film from Galicia, Spain directed and written by Chano Piñeiro and released in 1989. It was the first Galician feature film shot in 35 mm, along with Urxa, by Carlos Piñeiro and Alfredo García Pinal, and Continental by Xavier Villaverde, making it one of the first fiction films in the Galician language. The film is about the emotional consequences of emigration and is set in rural Galicia.

Production

The screenplay for Semper Xonxa met its first draft at the end of 1985, even before Esperanza was shot. Chano Piñeiro found inspiration in the stories of emigration he had heard told in his native Forcarei, and in the villages of Rubillón and Baíste in the municipality of Avión, where he filmed Mamasunción. The film had up to nine versions before the final script in 1988.
